Thoroughly study and implement the important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the Party’s self-revolution.
General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection profoundly expounded the important thought of the Party’s self-revolution, scientifically answered major questions such as why our Party should self-revolution, why it can self-revolution, and how to promote self-revolution, and clearly put forward the practical requirements for promoting the "nine aims" of self-revolution, which provided fundamental follow-up for the new era and new journey to further advance the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party, the building of a clean and honest party style and the struggle against corruption. This important thought is an important part of General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thought on party building, which indicates that our party’s understanding of the law of Marxist ruling party building has reached a new height. We should profoundly understand the scientific connotation and practical requirements of this important thought, profoundly grasp the major innovative viewpoints, scientific methods and important strategic arrangements that run through it, and lead the great social revolution with great self-revolution more consciously and actively.
1. A profound answer to the major question of our Party’s "Why self-revolution",Pointed out the fundamental task of ensuring that the whole party will always keep its original heart and undertake its mission.
As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, how can our party successfully jump out of the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos and ensure that the party will never deteriorate, change color and taste? This is a strategic issue that has always been before the whole party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has continuously deepened its understanding of the regularity of Party building. On the basis of the first answer given by Comrade Mao Zedong, "Let the people supervise the government", it has given the second answer, that is, constantly promoting the Party’s self-revolution.
Judging from the requirements of the essential attributes of Marxist political parties, advanced Marxist political parties are not born, but are tempered by constant self-revolution. Marxist political parties take the realization of communism as their lofty ideal. To achieve this lofty mission, we must always maintain the party’s advanced nature and purity, constantly solve its own problems, and lead the great social revolution with thorough self-revolution. "He who can win a strong enemy will win first." Marx and Engels pointed out: "The revolution is necessary not only because there is no other way to overthrow the ruling class, but also because the class that overthrew the ruling class can only throw away all the old and dirty things on itself in the revolution and be competent for the work of rebuilding society." As a Marxist political party, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has been more energetic after more than a hundred years of vicissitudes. Its mystery lies in always upholding the truth and correcting mistakes. "It is urgent to make amends, to be able to change its excesses for good, and to be aware of its excesses." The purpose of self-revolution is to solve problems. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Being brave in self-revolution is the most distinctive character of our party and the greatest advantage of our party. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s greatness lies not in not making mistakes, but in never avoiding medical treatment, daring to face up to problems, being brave in self-revolution, and having strong self-repair ability. "
Judging from the complex environment and risk challenges faced by our party, self-revolution is an inevitable requirement to ensure the party’s eternal vitality and shoulder the historical mission of the new era. Being in the important historical position of realizing the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented great changes in the world in the past century, our party must always remain sober and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party if it wants to win the support of the people and consolidate its long-term ruling position. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have solved many outstanding problems within the Party, but the "four major tests" and "four dangers" faced by the Party will persist for a long time. The outstanding problems in the Party, such as impure politics, impure thoughts, impure organization and impure style of work, have not been fundamentally solved, and some solved problems may resurface, and some new problems are still emerging. Facing the mission of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, facing the major challenges on the road ahead, facing the long-standing "four major tests" and "four dangers", it is bound to be a long and arduous process to solve the unique problems of the big party, which determines that strictly administering the party in an all-round way is always on the road, and the party’s self-revolution is always on the road.
From the fundamental purpose of leading the great social revolution, self-revolution provides leadership and fundamental guarantee for social revolution. Being brave in self-revolution while leading the great social revolution is the unity of transforming the objective world and the subjective world. Social revolution is the fundamental purpose and destination of self-revolution, and self-revolution is an important premise and guarantee of social revolution. At the beginning of the founding of the Party, our Party put forward that "the fundamental political purpose of the Party is to carry out social revolution" and affirmed that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is "a political party organized by the masses with the most revolutionary spirit among the proletariat to fight for the interests of the proletariat". At the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly put forward that leading the great social revolution is the fundamental purpose, which pointed out the direction for further promoting the party’s self-revolution. The party’s self-revolution is not carried out in isolation, and it must obey and serve the great social revolution led by the party; The great social revolution is not carried out blindly, but the product of the party leading the revolution and promoting change in line with the historical trend and the will of the people. The social revolution led by the party has entered a new journey, and the party’s self-revolution must show a new atmosphere. On the new journey, we should closely focus on comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization, plan and promote the party’s self-revolution, so that the party’s self-revolution can better obey and serve the party’s central task.
2. Deeply answered the major question of "why can our party self-revolution", and strengthened the confidence and determination of the whole party to make good use of the "second answer" and solve the unique problems of the big party.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The reason why our party has the courage of self-revolution is because our party has no special interests of its own except the interests of the country, the nation and the people." This important conclusion contains scientific theoretical logic, profound historical logic and distinct practical logic.
Being brave in self-revolution is a remarkable sign that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is different from other political parties, and it is the secret of our party’s eternal vitality and the endogenous motivation to promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party. Marxist political parties have the political genes to be brave in self-revolution. This is because communist party people take the liberation of all mankind and the realization of communism as their own responsibility. This lofty goal and ideal and belief determine that Marxist political parties are not afraid of losing anything except the people’s interests, so they can bravely promote the social revolution to transform the objective world and the self-revolution of the transformation subject itself. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a party for the happiness of the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The source of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s courage and strong confidence in self-revolution lies in the fact that our party has no special interests of its own, never represents the interests of any interest group, any power group or any privileged class, but always represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Only by not seeking self-interest can we seek the root and profit, and we can proceed from the nature and fundamental purpose of the party and the fundamental interests of the people, constantly examining ourselves and thinking about ourselves; Only in this way can we not hide our shortcomings, avoid problems, whitewash our mistakes, overcome our shortcomings, solve problems, admit and correct mistakes.
The party’s struggle for more than one hundred years is not only a magnificent history of social revolution, but also a history of self-revolution. For more than 100 years, the Party’s prosperity and continuous development have been ensured by developing people’s democracy outside the Party and accepting people’s supervision, and by strictly administering the Party in an all-round way and promoting self-revolution inside. From the August 7th Meeting to Zunyi Meeting, from Yan ‘an Rectification Movement to the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, and then to strictly administering the Party in an all-round way in the new era, our Party has always strove forward with the spirit of self-revolution, uniting and leading the people to win one great victory after another. The great social revolution forged and achieved a great party, and the great self-revolution guaranteed and promoted the great social revolution. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The longer you are in power, the more you can’t lose the true colors of Marxist political parties, the more you can’t forget the party’s initial mission, and the more you can’t lose the spirit of self-revolution." The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Hundred Years’ Struggle sums up the historical experience of the "Ten Persistences" of our party’s hundred years’ struggle, one of which is to persist in self-revolution. Insisting on self-revolution profoundly reveals the fundamental guarantee for the continuous success of the cause of the party and the people, the source of strength for the party to remain invincible, the fundamental reason for the party to always grasp the historical initiative, and the fundamental way for the party to always maintain its advanced nature and purity and always walk in the forefront of the times.
Strictly administering the party in an all-round way is the great practice of the party’s self-revolution in the new era, which has opened up a new realm of the party’s self-revolution in the past century. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has been strictly administering the Party in an all-round way with unprecedented courage and determination to "sharpen a sword in ten years", and has taken on the mission of "offending thousands of people and not bearing 1.4 billion" to promote the unprecedented anti-corruption struggle and play a set of "combination boxing" of self-revolution. Through unremitting efforts, the party has found the second answer to the self-revolution, which jumps out of the historical cycle rate of the rise and fall of chaos. The ability of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement has been significantly enhanced, and the party has become stronger and stronger in revolutionary forging. At the same time, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Our party leads the people to carry out great social revolution, covering a wide range of fields, touching on the profoundness of interest pattern adjustment, involving the sharpness of contradictions and problems, the arduousness of breaking through institutional and institutional obstacles, and the complexity of carrying out great struggle situations are unprecedented. We must strengthen our sense of urgency and responsibility and carry out the great self-revolution of the party to the end. " To this end, we must regard the comprehensive and strict management of the party as the party’s long-term strategy and eternal topic, always maintain strategic strength, carry forward the thorough spirit of self-revolution, and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party to develop in depth.
3. Profoundly answered the major question of our party’s "how to promote self-revolution", and showed the bright future of the party’s eternal vitality and taking a new road to catch the exam.
Stepping on a new journey, facing the unique problem of "six how to always", whether there is a strong spirit of self-revolution and how to carry out the party’s self-revolution to the end are the key factors that determine the success or failure of the cause of the party and the country. At the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader anchored the important task of self-revolution, highlighted the practical requirements of "Nine Actions", and provided a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for further promoting the Party’s self-revolution. The practical requirements of "Nine Ideals" include both strategic arrangement and work deployment, as well as epistemology and methodology, which constitute an organic whole with interrelated logic and complete system.
To adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee as the fundamental guarantee. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The more complicated the situation and arduous the task, the more we must uphold the overall leadership of the Party and the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee." In the new era, the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state are fundamentally due to the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is the core of the CPC Central Committee and the core of the whole party. To uphold and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the most important thing is to firmly support the "two establishment" and resolutely achieve the "two maintenance". On the new journey, to promote the party’s self-revolution, we must always plan, deploy and advance in a unified way under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, so as to ensure progress in the right direction.
The fundamental purpose is to lead the great social revolution. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To carry out the great social revolution of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, our party must be brave in self-revolution and build the party stronger." The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, which sounded the clarion call of the times for a new journey of endeavor. To achieve a new leap in the social revolution under the leadership of the Party, we must constantly deepen the Party’s self-revolution. On the new journey, we should focus on comprehensively promoting Chinese-style modernization, deepen the party’s self-revolution, and provide a strong impetus for the great social revolution.
Follow the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "having the guidance of Marxist scientific theory is the root of our party’s firm belief and grasp the historical initiative". The Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era is contemporary China Marxism and 21st century Marxism, and it is the essence of Chinese culture and China spirit, which has achieved a new leap in the modernization of Marxism in China. The important thought of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary about the Party’s self-revolution is a significant development of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era to the Marxist theory of party building. On the new journey, we should persistently arm the whole party with the Party’s innovative theory and constantly improve the firmness, scientificity and effectiveness of the Party’s self-revolution.
Take jumping out of the historical cycle rate as the strategic goal. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "As long as there is no problem in the Marxist ruling party, there will be no major problem in socialist countries, and we will be able to jump out of ‘ Its prosperity is also rich, and its death is also sudden ’ Historical cycle rate. " After the great practice of strictly administering the party in an all-round way in the new era, our party has explored a successful path of jumping out of the historical cycle rate by relying on the party’s self-revolution. "Taking jumping out of the historical cycle rate as the strategic goal" has further promoted the party’s self-revolution, strengthened the important strategic value of jumping out of the historical cycle rate, and highlighted the great practical significance of the party’s self-revolution. On the new journey, our party should always maintain the spirit of self-revolution, promptly eliminate the virus that erodes the party’s healthy body, promptly eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers that damage the party’s ruling foundation, and constantly plant the party’s long-term ruling foundation.
To solve the unique problems of the big party as the main direction. Our party not only has the great advantage of concentrating on doing great things and building great achievements, but also faces the special problem of managing the party. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress that "we must always be sober and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party", and made a profound analysis of the unique problems of the big party at the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection with "Six How to Always". It is a long and arduous process to solve the unique problems of the big party. On the new journey, to promote the party’s self-revolution, we should closely focus on the "six ways to always", treat both the symptoms and root causes, work together for a long time, and demonstrate the advantages of the big party in constantly solving its unique problems.
It is an effective way to improve the comprehensive and strict management of the party system. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "building a comprehensive and strict party management system is an overall and groundbreaking work". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continuously deepened its understanding of the regularity of self-revolution, and accumulated rich achievements in building a comprehensive and strict party management system. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China regards "improving the system of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way" as a major measure for Party building in the new era. On the new journey, to promote the Party’s self-revolution, we must adhere to the principle of full coverage in content, full coverage in object, full chain in responsibility and full penetration in system, and form a virtuous circle of relying on the Party’s own strength to find problems, correct deviations, promote innovation and realize the overall improvement of its ruling ability.
Focus on forging a strong organization and building an excellent team. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the overall leadership of the Party and all the work of the Party should be realized by the Party’s strong organizational system" and "Party cadres are the backbone of the cause of the Party and the state". On the new journey, to promote the party’s self-revolution, we should thoroughly implement the party’s organizational line in the new era, enhance the political and organizational functions of party organizations, and promote all-round progress and perfection of party organizations at all levels. We should adhere to the principle of the Party managing cadres, build a contingent of high-quality cadres who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, and make the majority of party member cadres be loyal and clean.
Taking the fight against corruption as an important starting point. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the party’s work style is related to the life and death of the ruling party", "strengthening discipline construction is the fundamental policy for comprehensively and strictly administering the party" and "corruption is the biggest cancer that harms the party’s vitality and combat effectiveness, and anti-corruption is the most thorough self-revolution". On the new journey, to promote the party’s self-revolution, we should promote the party’s self-revolution in an integrated way, never dare to rot, never want to rot, always adhere to a strict tone, strict measures and strict atmosphere, take a fine style as the guide, take strict discipline as the strong guarantee, punish evil with anti-corruption, clear obstacles, promote the party’s self-revolution to be interlocking and progressive, and realize self-sublation and self-leap in innovation.
The combination of self-supervision and people’s supervision is a powerful driving force. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "we must rely on strengthening the party’s self-supervision and people’s supervision to promote the party’s self-revolution". Self-supervision and people’s supervision complement each other and promote each other. In the new journey, to promote the Party’s self-revolution, it is necessary to strengthen the Party’s self-supervision, improve the working pattern of comprehensive supervision by Party committees (leading groups), specialized supervision by discipline inspection organs, functional supervision by Party departments, daily supervision by Party grass-roots organizations and democratic supervision by party member, and at the same time, integrate inner-party supervision with state organs, democratic supervision, judicial supervision, mass supervision and public opinion supervision to realize positive interaction and complement each other.
