A Study On The Main Ideological Connotation And Practical Enlightenment Of Engels’ On Authority

Since the formation of organized human society,authority has been accompanied by it.In terms of its essence,authority is an objective social phenomenon and social relationship,which shows human’s obedience to the objective necessity in practice.Authority phenomenon exists widely in the development of human society and its form changes with the change of social form.Engels made an in-depth theoretical and practical exploration of authority in guiding the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat,and gradually formed the scientific authority thought,which was embodied in his article "On Authority" made in order to counter Bakunin attack on the authority principle of the proletariat party.Although the full text of "On Authority" is only more than two thousand words,it has a strong pertinence.In "On Authority",Engels,guided by historical materialism,analyzed the nature of authority in detail through concise and profound text,revealed the inevitability of the generation of authority and the long-term existence of authority,and then stressed the extreme importance of the proletarian party to maintain authority,and finally issued a striking voice: "Revolution is undoubtedly the most authoritative thing under the sun." In "On Authority",Engels analyzed the experience and lessons of the failure of the Paris Commune,and profoundly expounded the basic principles that proletarian parties must follow when maintaining authority and applying authority.It not only safeguarded the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the International Workers’ Association at that time,but also provided a valuable ideological weapon for the later proletarian party to maintain its authority.In the history of the international communist movement,the proletarian political parties represented by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China carried out a series of theoretical and practical explorations on safeguarding authority,which not only left a wealth of valuable experience,but also had a profound lesson that should be learned from.China’s revolution,construction and reform can only achieve great victory under the leadership of the CPC,which has the authority of a strong political party.The authority of the CPC is a strong centripetal force in the minds of the Party members and cadres and the masses,and also a high degree of recognition and obedience to the Party’s will.At present,faced with various problems of damaging the authority of the CPC,based on the realistic demands of maintaining and consolidating the authority of the CPC,and guided by the authority thought contained in Engels’ s On Authority,Drawing on the experience and lessons of proletarian political parties in the history of international Common Games,we must always insist on safeguarding the authority of the CPC.The authority of the CPC Central Committee is the fundamental reliance of the Party and the people.In the process of upholding the authority of the CPC,we need to take "the Two Establishment" and "the Two Upholds" as the basic premise to ensure that the political decrees of the Party Central Committee are unimpeded and orders are prohibited.The Party’s authority comes from the recognition and support of the broad masses of the people.In the process of upholding the authority of the CPC,we should uphold the value position of people first and ensure that the Party’s authority can truly be drawn from the people and applied to the people.The key to safeguarding the authority of the Party lies in the Party itself.In the process of upholding the authority of the CPC,we must take full and strict governance over the Party as a key measure to combat all acts that undermine the CPC Central Committee’s authority and centralized,unified leadership.China’s cause can only be successful under the leadership of the CPC.We should take realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as our fundamental goal,and build a CPC with strong authority as a anchor to cope with all risks and tests.The CPC with strong authority should unify the direction,goals and actions.
