A scientific summary of the basic experience of creating a new situation in the cause
In a sense, the history of our party's career development is the history of emancipating the mind. How can we overthrow the "three big mountains" that are pressing on the people of China and win the new-democratic revolution in old China? China * * * party member, represented by Comrade Mao Zedong, did not look for answers in the old paper pile of traditional culture, nor did he copy the experience of the Russian revolution. They emancipated their minds, combined the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete practice of China revolution, founded Mao Zedong Thought, and guided the China revolution to victory. In fact, without the "one magic weapon" of emancipating the mind, there would be no "three magic weapons" of party building, armed struggle and United front, and there would be no establishment of new China and socialist system.
It was Comrade Deng Xiaoping who profoundly expounded the position and function of emancipating the mind in theory. At the end of 1978, in the speech "Emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, unite and look forward", which is called "the declaration of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics's new theory", Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly put forward the conclusion that "the first thing is to emancipate the mind". Why should we clearly put emancipating the mind in the "first place" position? Comrade Deng Xiaoping's answer is: "Only by emancipating the mind can we correctly solve the problems left over from history and a series of new problems under the guidance of Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, correctly reform the production relations and superstructure that are incompatible with the rapid development of productive forces, and determine the specific roads, principles, methods and measures to realize the four modernizations according to the actual situation in China." He stressed that whether to emancipate the mind "is really a question of ideological line, a political issue, and a question related to the future and destiny of the party and the country."
Promoting the great development of the cause by emancipating the mind is a summary of the basic experience of China's development since the reform and opening up. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, China has developed rapidly, from a poor and backward country to an important economic power in the world, which is to persist in emancipating the mind. Over the past 30 years, every step of China's economic and social development has been accompanied by a great ideological liberation. Practice has proved that only by emancipating the mind and "boldly trying and breaking" can we embark on a new road and do a brand-new career.
Correctly grasp the scientific connotation of emancipating the mind
The premise of correctly using the magic weapon of emancipating the mind is to correctly grasp the scientific connotation of emancipating the mind. Hot-headed, daydreaming, foolhardy, not emancipating the mind; "Scratching the ball" and "running a red light" are not emancipating the mind. What is emancipating the mind? Comrade Deng Xiaoping's viewpoint is: "Under the guidance of Marxism, we should break the shackles of customary forces and subjective prejudice, study new situations and solve new problems. Emancipating the mind must not deviate from the track of the four cardinal principles, nor can it damage the political situation of stability, unity and liveliness. " "Emancipating the mind is to make the mind conform to reality, to make the subjective and objective conform, that is, to seek truth from facts." "Emancipating the mind must really solve the problem."
Emancipating the mind is characterized by the renewal of ideas, the change of thinking mode and the change of mental state on the basis of breaking the shackles of habit and subjective prejudice.
Emancipating the mind is the expression of creative practice. Creation is the basic form of development. Creative practice is to explore the law of the development of things, open up the way forward, is the highest realm of human practice, and is the most essential feature and regulation of Marxist view of practice. "Without a little enterprise, a little' daring' spirit, and a little boldness and drive, we can't walk well, take a new road, and do a new career."
The essence of emancipating the mind is to seek truth from facts and act according to the development law of objective things. If you don't explore, understand and follow the law, emancipating your mind will go astray. Today, the process of emancipating the mind is the process of combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete practice of reform, opening up and scientific development.
-The fundamental standard and purpose of emancipating the mind is to "really solve problems". Ideological emancipation or rigidity, whether emancipation is enough or not, and whether it is correct or not, we can only adhere to practical standards to see whether it is conducive to implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious socialist society, developing productive forces, enhancing comprehensive national strength, improving people's living standards, and truly solving practical problems in people's production and life.
The main task of emancipating the mind under the new situation
At present, the main task of continuing to emancipate the mind is to further unify the thinking of the whole party with the spirit of the 17th CPC National Congress and a series of major decisions and strategic arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary, unswervingly follow the great road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive to "make the broad masses of party member cadres become models for practicing the socialist core value system, Become a staunch believer in the lofty ideals of capitalism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, a loyal practitioner of Scientific Outlook on Development, a conscious practitioner of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and an active promoter of social harmony, and strive for new victories in building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Overcome complacency, recognize the gap and enhance the sense of urgency for sound and rapid development. Some people are complacent about their achievements and do not make progress, so they are complacent, unable to see the existing problems and unable to listen to different opinions and criticisms. "Small wealth means security, and small progress means full." This hinders the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, the development and application of new technologies, and the process of economic and social development. Emancipating the mind must start with overcoming complacency. It should be noted that at present, China's development level is still far from the goal of overall well-off society and modernization, and there is still a big gap compared with developed countries. We must not be complacent or stagnant, but must catch up and accelerate the pace of scientific development.
Overcome the fear of difficulties, deepen reform, and constantly innovate dynamic institutional mechanisms. With the economic development and social progress, the disadvantages of the original system and mechanism are increasingly prominent, and the task of reform, development and stability is even more arduous. However, some leading cadres are afraid of making mistakes, losing their jobs, and that the reform will harm their personal interests and cause resentment. So, don't change. Emancipating the mind means getting rid of the fear of difficulties. It should be noted that the current development of China faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. If we don't change it because we are "afraid", then we may miss the development opportunity and make historic mistakes.
Overcome laziness, cheer up and be good at seizing development opportunities. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out that there are some new outstanding problems in the work style of some leading cadres at present, such as not striving for progress, muddling along, formalism, bureaucracy, fraud, false reporting and exaggeration, extravagance and waste, greed for enjoyment, abuse of power for personal gain, arrogance and extravagance, and so on. In this state of mind, many opportunities that should be grasped cannot be grasped, and many things that should be done cannot be done. You know, opportunities are everywhere for people who are diligent in thinking, energetic and willing to learn. Smooth development is an opportunity, and difficulties are also opportunities. If a person is lazy, he can't see the opportunity and can't catch it.
Overcome ideological rigidity, focus on new practice and development, and improve the ability to solve practical problems. The times are advancing, practice is developing, and new things, situations and problems are constantly emerging. In the face of constantly developing and changing practice, if we are rigid in thinking and stick to some original concepts and specific practices, we will not be able to better adapt to the development of the situation and advance the great cause. This requires the broad masses of cadres and masses to further emancipate their minds, firmly grasp the living soul of Marxism, focus on new practice and new development, constantly study new situations, solve new problems, strive to make new progress in their work, and create a new situation in their undertakings.
Strive to make ideological emancipation more fruitful under the new situation.
The development of practice and the emancipation of thought are endless. To continue to emancipate the mind under the new situation, we must grasp the following issues:
Grasp the key points and vigorously promote the ideological emancipation of leading cadres and leading organs. People are the main body of social practice and the fundamental force to promote scientific development and social harmony. Only by constantly emancipating the minds of the broad masses of the people and giving full play to their historical initiative and creativity can reform and development have a solid foundation. Leading cadres and leading organs play an overall and leading role in emancipating the mind. The ideological emancipation of a region or a unit depends largely on the level of ideological emancipation of leading cadres in that region or unit. Therefore, emancipating the mind must start with leading cadres and leading organs.
Pay attention to study, improve quality and promote ideological emancipation. Emancipating the mind is based on the understanding of objective things and their development laws, and on the premise of mastering a series of related knowledge. "Knowledge is power." At present, some cadres and the masses are not emancipated enough. One of the fundamental reasons is the lack of relevant knowledge. It is of fundamental significance for us to continue to emancipate our minds by persisting in strengthening study, constantly improving the Marxist theoretical level of the whole party and constantly mastering all kinds of modern knowledge and skills.
Strengthen relevant theoretical research to provide guidance for continuing to emancipate the mind. "Unclear theory" is often an important factor affecting emancipating the mind. As long as the theory is thorough, it can be convincing. It is an important duty of theoretical workers to clarify some major issues in theory and clear the obstacles for people to continue emancipating their minds. We should thoroughly study and explore the laws of emancipating the mind in order to guide the concrete practice of emancipating the mind.
Promote the construction of democratic politics and create favorable conditions for emancipating the mind. Emancipating the mind requires conditions. As far as external conditions are concerned, the most important thing is democracy. Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward the requirement of emancipating the mind to the whole Party, and at the same time put forward that "there must be full democracy" as the guarantee condition. Constantly promoting the construction of democratic politics and fully promoting democracy are important guarantees and effective means to promote emancipating the mind. It can be believed that with the continuous development and improvement of socialist democratic politics, the magic weapon of emancipating the mind will surely play a greater role and vigorously promote the great practice of reform and opening up and the great process of developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
