Gramsci’s Cultural Leadership Theory And Its Practical Significance

Gramsci is a great Marxist.Through the reflection of proletarian revolutionary experience,he finally formed the thought of cultural leadership.The thought of cultural leadership is the core of Gramsci’s thought,which fully reflects Gramsci’s understanding of Marxism and proletarian revolution,and is the unity of theory and practice.The connotation of Gramsci’s cultural leadership refers to that the essence of cultural leadership is that the ruling class uses cultural and ideological means to exercise state power against the ruled class,which is a means of governance,and its purpose is consistent with political governance.It can be seen that for Gramsci,the thought of cultural leadership is not only an ideological theory,but also a proletarian revolutionary strategy.Gramsci’s point of view is that in the face of the developed capitalist countries in Western Europe,we can not simply rely on violence to carry out revolutionary struggle,but through the formation of a proletarian political party,and then unite with the masses of the people at all levels of society to carry out revolution,with the help of organic intellectuals based on civil society to carry out revolutionary propaganda and education,carry out ideological work,and spread proletarian revolutionary ideas,We should make use of mobile warfare and positional warfare to carry out revolution,carry out a thorough and comprehensive revolution in the superstructure of spirit and culture,form a cultural ideology against the bourgeoisie and build a discourse system for the proletariat.Gramsci’s Cultural Leadership Theory has important reference significance for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.In today’s world,the competition of comprehensive national strength among countries is not only a competition of traditional elements such as politics,economy and military,but also a competition of cultural influence.In the face of the current wanton invasion of Western capitalism and historical nihilism,cultural construction is an important barrier against the invasion of foreign ideology.Cultural construction is full of challenges and various problems need to be solved.The construction of cultural leadership is a major task that our party and country need to complete at present,and it is also an important mission that must be completed to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.As the leading core of China’s various undertakings,the CPC must pay attention to cultural construction and strengthen the construction of ideological security as the superstructure,so as to further maintain social harmony,political stability and ethnic unity,and truly safeguard the fundamental interests of the people.
