Lenin’s Ideological Security Thought And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

Ideological problems have a long history.As the leader of the great proletarian political party in Russia,Lenin clearly pointed out that the violent revolution could not overthrow the czarist autocracy in the process of establishing,maintaining and consolidating the Soviet regime,but must open up a revolutionary road guided by Marxism.Therefore,Lenin attached great importance to the problem of ideology,and historically put forward Marxism as a "scientific ideology" and an ideological weapon to guide the proletarian revolution.In the process of insisting on the Marxist thought of unity party and the masses and resolutely fighting against all kinds of wrong thoughts of thought,he formed a relatively complete ideological security thought.The report to the 20 th National Congress of the CPC points out that we should improve the national security system,strengthen our capacity to safeguard national security,firmly safeguard national political,institutional and ideological security,and strengthen the people’s defense line of national security.Among them,as the existence of social structure,ideological security will directly or indirectly affect national security and stability.As eastern socialist countries,on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way,facing the fierce and complex struggle in the field of ideology,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the relevant content of Lenin’s ideological security thought,explore its original contribution and contemporary enlightenment,and provide reference thinking for the maintenance of Chinese ideological security.Taking Lenin’s thinking on ideology as the logical starting point,on the basis of absorbing Marx and Engels’ ideological theory and Russian Democrats’ ideological views,combined with the specific conditions of the time and personal practice,he led the people in the realization of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the consolidation of the Soviet regime on the road,The author systematically exposed and deeply thought about the problems existing in the field of Russian social thought and promoted the development of Marxist ideology theory and the process of Russian revolution.The main contents of Lenin’s specific activities to maintain ideological security can be roughly summarized as: carrying out ideological struggle,carrying out theoretical indoctrination,consolidating propaganda positions,and strengthening ideological,political and cultural education,which shows his emphasis on ideological work.Of course,in the practice of safeguarding ideological security,Lenin’s understanding and emphasis on the scientific truth of Marxism and his emphasis on the leadership of ideology all highlighted his adherence to and creative application of Marx’s scientific method of dialectical materialism and historical materialism.His ideological security thought also embodies the unity of class and science,critical and construction,ideological and revolutionary,highlighting the characteristics of the combination of bottom line thinking and strategic thinking,realistic thinking and innovative thinking,dialectical thinking and legal thinking.It is the crystallization of Lenin’s thought wisdom,with remarkable characteristics of The Times.Finally,adhering to the principle of combining theory with practice,the author explains Lenin’s original contribution from the relevant understanding of ideological security,the goal direction of maintaining ideological security and the basic principles,so as to provide theoretical support for a deep understanding of the essence of his thought.This paper discusses the contemporary enlightenment from the aspects of persisting in innovation,advancing the modernization of Marxism in China,strengthening the Party’s leadership over ideology,maintaining the mass base of ideological security,and advancing the construction of ideological security system,so as to provide practical guidance for the maintenance of Chinese ideological security and the construction of socialist ideology.
