Why should the ruling party more consciously adhere to the party's mass line?

It is a requirement of the Decision of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the CPC that the Party should adhere to the mass line of the Party and strengthen and improve the mass work under the new situation. The mass line is the fundamental working line, working method and leadership style of the Party, which is the summary of the Party's historical experience, and profoundly reflects the Party's nature, purpose and guiding ideology. The mass line centrally embodies the Party's fine tradition and style, and is of great theoretical and practical significance to the consolidation and development of the Party. First, the mass line is the political advantage of China's ****-producing party The mass line is an important content of the party's ideological and theoretical system, which is unanimously recognized by the party members and is y rooted in the hearts and minds of the majority of the party members, and it is the condition and foundation for the party's effective development of all its work. The mass line not only provides a working method for party members, but more importantly, it is conducive to keeping the nature and purpose of the party unchanged and overcoming undesirable phenomena within the party. The mass line has been embraced and supported by the people, and the implementation of the mass line has become an important evaluation criterion for the Party by the people. The mass line is also an important guarantee for the implementation of party leadership. First of all, the mass line is the fundamental line for realizing party leadership. The mass line is the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism, and the mass line embodies the purpose and means of our party leadership. Deng Xiaoping once pointed out that the essential content of party leadership is the mass line. "The Party's leading role in relation to the people is to correctly point out to the people the direction of their struggle and to help them to take action on their own to fight for and create their own happy life." (Selected Writings of Deng Xiaoping, vol. 1, p. 217) The leadership of the Party is ideological, political and organizational. Fundamentally, the Party is the guide and organizer of the people. Relying on its correct ideological, political and organizational lines, the Party points out the way forward for the masses, recognizes its own interests and mission, raises the consciousness of the masses, unifies their thoughts and actions, and unites and leads them in their struggle to realize their fundamental interests. The Party must constantly strengthen and improve its leadership in mass work and raise the level of the Party's mass work. Secondly, the Party's mass line lays the foundation of the Party's leadership. The Party's cause is the cause of the people, and the success of the Party's cause depends on whether it can win the support of the people. The mass line emphasizes "trust in the masses", which stipulates the source of the Party's leadership ideology. The correct ideas of the Party come from the people and are the summary of their experience. The mass line emphasizes "relying on the masses," which stipulates that the Party can only achieve success with the support of the masses. By relying on the masses, the Party will make correct decisions; by relying on the masses, the Party's correct decisions will be implemented. The history of the Party shows that the Party's political advantage will be enhanced if it implements the mass line well; conversely, the Party's political advantage will be weakened. Once again, the Party's mass line embodies the Party's fundamental organizational and leadership systems. The Party's democratic centralism was gradually formed and perfected by the Party in the practice of revolution and construction, by carrying out the Party's mass line, and by adhering to the leadership method of coming from the masses and going to the masses. It is the application of Marxist epistemology and the mass line in the life and organizational construction of the Party, and is the fundamental organizational and leadership system of the Party. Therefore, to strengthen the Party's organizational construction, it is necessary to continuously improve and perfect the series of systems of democratic centralism; to improve the Party's leadership level and enhance the Party's governing ability, it is also necessary to adhere to the leadership system of democratic centralism. It is because only through the development of democracy within the Party can the wishes and claims of Party members and organizations at all levels be fully expressed and their enthusiasm and creativity mobilized; the democratization and scientification of decision-making can be achieved; and the rights and obligations of Party members can be safeguarded and internal Party supervision strengthened. Fundamentally, it is only in this way that the people's right to be masters of their own affairs can be manifested and the people's spirit of initiative respected. Only by adhering to centralization on the basis of democracy can the will and wisdom of the whole Party be brought together to achieve unanimity of action. That is to say, to concentrate the correct opinions, to form the correct line and policy; in action to achieve personal obedience to the organization, the minority obey the majority, the subordinates obey the superiors, the whole party to obey the central government, consciously carry out the party's discipline, safeguard the authority of the central government, and enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the party. Second, the mass line is an important guarantee of the Party's correct decisions and the effective implementation of decisions. The reason why the Party's mass line has such an important role is determined by the content of the mass line itself. The mass line requires adherence to the basic policy of doing everything for the masses and relying on the masses, which fully embodies the Party's tenet of serving the people wholeheartedly and taking the interests of the people as the starting point and destination of all the Party's activities; and fully embodies the basic principle of historical materialism of believing in the masses, relying on the masses, and respecting their spirit of first initiative, that is, that the masses of the people are the creators of history. Liu Shaoqi clearly pointed out in his report on the revision of the Party Constitution at the Seventh Party Congress that the Party's mass line is the fundamental political line of the Party, as well as the fundamental organizational line of the Party. "From the masses, to the masses" is both the fundamental working line of the Party in all practical work and the Marxist line of understanding. The above important features of the Party's mass line are the fundamental guarantee for the Party and the State to formulate correct lines and policies; the fundamental guarantee for the Party's lines and policies to be correctly implemented; and the fundamental way to test, enrich and develop the Party's lines and policies. Because the formulation of the correct line can not be separated from the correct understanding, can not be separated from the objective and real situation. Fundamentally speaking, it cannot be separated from the practical activities of the people and the wisdom and experience of the masses. Marxist epistemology tells us that understanding comes from practice and serves practice. The people are the main body of practice, and in order to obtain correct understanding, only by adhering to the correct way of "from the masses, to the masses", listening to the opinions and suggestions of the masses, and summarizing the practical experience created by the masses can we ensure that the Party's decision-making is in line with the fundamental interests and aspirations of the masses, and that it can formulate correct routes, policies and guidelines; The implementation of the Party's guidelines and policies cannot be separated from the consciousness and action of the people. Through the process of an infinite cycle of concentration from the masses and adherence to the masses, it is possible not only to make the leader's understanding more correct, more vivid and richer than ever before, but also to raise the level of understanding of the masses; to transform both the objective world and the subjective worlds of the leaders and the masses, thus ensuring that the Party's lines and policies are carried out, and that they are continually enriched and developed by means of the test of the masses' practice The Party's policy of "the principle of the Party's line and policy" is constantly enriched and developed through the practice of the masses. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC, the Party led the people to carry out extensive and in-depth rectification and re-establishment of the ideological line of Marxism; formulated and implemented the basic line centered on economic construction, adherence to the Four Basic Principles, and adherence to reform and opening-up; and created Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Important Thought of the Three Represents, which enriched and developed the Party's guiding ideology. The Party's guiding ideology has been enriched and developed, which has not only reversed the serious situation caused by the ten years of civil strife during the Cultural Revolution, but also advanced the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics to a new stage and created a new situation for modernization. Facts have proved that only by adhering to the Party's mass line, listening to the opinions and demands of the masses, and summarizing the practical experience and wisdom of the masses, can we ensure that the Party's lines and policies reflect the will of the masses, express their claims, and safeguard their interests, so as to make the Party's governing activities more fruitful. Third, the mass line profoundly reveals the source and essence of the Party's power The ruling party is the party in charge of state power, and must correctly understand the relationship between the Party and power. The Party's mass line reveals the intrinsic connection between the Party and the people. The relationship between the Party and the people consists of two aspects: on the one hand, from the perspective of the history of the Party, the people must have the leadership of the Party; without the Party's leadership, the revolutionary struggle of the people cannot be victorious, and the people's right to be masters of their own house and to manage the country, as well as the right to build their own civilized, affluent, and happy life, cannot be safeguarded; on the other hand, from the perspective of the Party's working practice, the Party must in turn contact the people, and the Party Once detached from the masses, it loses the foundation on which it relies for its existence and development, and cannot achieve victory in the revolution and success in construction. In terms of the Party's relationship with the masses, it must first deal with the relationship between the leader and the led, i.e., how the ****producers view and exercise their power. Viewing the power of the ****producers from the perspective of the Party's mass line, there are at least two meanings in it: one is that the power of the ****producers is conferred by the people, and the other is that the power of the ****producers has to work for the people. This profoundly reveals the source and nature of the power of the ****producers. Since the power of the ****-producers is given by the people, this power should reflect the will of the people, and it is necessary to understand and centralize the will of the people. Since the power of the ****-producers should serve the people and do practical things for the people, every ****-producer in power must establish a sense of public service and be responsible to the people for everything. Now there are some party members, especially some leading cadres forget that the people are the masters of the country, forget their own power from the people, should be served by the people, their thoughts and behaviors are manifested in the promotion of "power supremacy", the idea of privilege, abuse of power. Overcoming these thoughts and behaviors depends on education, the rule of law, deepening reform, and adherence to the Party's mass line. In the traditional planned economy, the allocation of resources according to administrative affiliation. And under the conditions of a market economy, the fundamental role of the market mechanism in the allocation of social resources is given full play. Therefore, the government's functions need to be transformed from instruction to guidance, from leadership to service, from specific management to macro-control. This will help people to overcome the wrong concepts of "power supremacy" and "privileged thinking". Competition mechanism, market operation, the rule of law management, so that accustomed to the abuse of power can not help but feel is a constraint and threat. Therefore, under the conditions of socialist market economy, emphasizing the adherence to the Party's mass line can make our Party's leading cadres at all levels more firmly establish the view that power is given by the people, and really hold the power for the people and use the power well. Fourth, the mass line reflects the Party's fundamental method of understanding and working method The mass line has a methodological significance. For Party members and Party leaders, the mass line is mainly a method of understanding and a method of leadership. Since the experience and knowledge of the masses are often spontaneous, dispersed and unsystematic, leaders must go deep into the masses to summarize their experience and raise it to the level of theory to form the Party's lines, guidelines, policies, plans and programs. As long as the leader's understanding concentrates the correct opinions and wisdom of the masses, and represents the interests and demands of the masses, then the leader's understanding and the understanding of the masses will be in agreement. By guiding the practice of the masses with the results of rational understanding, we can, on the one hand, transform the spirit into matter and transform the objective world through the practice of the masses; on the other hand, we can, through the practice of the masses, test the correctness or incorrectness of the existing understanding, and thus supplement, amend and develop the existing understanding. The practice of the masses is constantly developing. Therefore, the leader's understanding cannot be stagnant and stagnant, but must be constantly developed and improved. The Party's mass line is also a basic leadership method. By turning the mass line into the Party's method of understanding and leadership, summarizing the experience of the masses in a scientific way, and organizing and leading the masses in a correct leadership method, the Party's level of leadership will be greatly improved. The Party's mass line still needs to be adhered to and developed in the new historical period, and its contents and forms need to be constantly enriched. Efforts should be made to expand the Party's mass base. Workers and peasants remain the basic mass base of the Party and the objects on which the Party relies. The history of the development of political parties in the world shows that the class and mass bases of political parties can only be consolidated and developed, not abandoned or weakened, or else political parties will inevitably have their existing bases shaken, leading to instability in the relying forces and affecting the development and growth of the party. At the same time, we must see that, with the development of China's social productive forces, the adjustment of economic structure, the upgrading of industrial levels, and the refinement of the social division of labor, many new social strata and groups are developing rapidly, and thus social strata and groups have become more diversified than in the past, and so the Party's mass work has also become more extensive in terms of its "target". The goal of the ruling party is to promote economic and social development in an all-round way, so an important function of the ruling party is to realize effective social integration. The ruling party's expression of interests should maximize the interests of all social strata and groups as much as possible. Only by integrating all the resources of society as far as possible can the ruling party win more social support forces, consolidate and expand the social base of the ruling party, and consolidate the ruling party's position in power. Establish a new concept of mass work. The people are the masters of the country, and the essence of the Party's leadership is to ensure that the people are the masters of their own house. The key to implementing the Party's mass line is how to enable the people to participate actively in the political life of the Party and the country. Conditions should be created in the election of personnel, in decision-making on major issues, in the management of all kinds of organizations in society, and in the supervision of power, so as to enable the people to exercise their right to manage the affairs of the State and of society, thus reflecting to the fullest extent the people's will, expressing their opinions and safeguarding their interests. In addition, the content and level of participation should be expanded. It is necessary to expand and implement the people's right to information, which is a part of the people's democratic rights; without it, the exercise of other powers will also be affected. It is also necessary to establish the idea of equality with the masses and purge the concept of feudal hierarchy. It is important to emphasize the role of the masses outside the Party as well as the role of Party members, and to be good at promoting social democracy with intra-Party democracy. Establish a perfect institutional guarantee system. Adherence to the mass line requires institutional guarantee. Strengthening institutional construction is a feature of Party construction in the new era, through which the mass line of the Party should be truly implemented. Through the system, the concept of the mass line should be cultivated and strengthened, and the conscientiousness of adhering to the mass line should be enhanced; through the system, effective channels should be provided for the masses to participate in politics and expand people's democracy; and through the system, deviations in the work of the masses should be corrected, and problems of detachment from the mass line should be prevented. The Party's policies, the country's legal system, and specific work systems should be improved to fundamentally ensure the implementation of the mass line. Actively explore new methods of mass work. New content of social practice requires new forms of practice. Only by actively exploring working methods for the implementation of the mass line can the mass line be well adhered to. In recent years has been implemented in the hearing, democratic assessment, public election and other forms is a good exploration, but also to continue to expand and deepen. Mainly: First, we must adhere to the combination of traditional and modern. Such as on the one hand, in-depth grass-roots, face-to-face with the masses to do ideological and political work; on the other hand, good use of modern media publicity guide, enhance the effect of education and publicity. Secondly, we should mobilize the strength of all parties to expand the way of doing mass work. The Party is the main body of mass work. But with the development of modern society, the transformation of government functions, the mode of public **** management began to change, many of the management will be undertaken by the community. Therefore, we should be good at carrying out mass work through some intermediary organizations, community organizations and so on. Third, from a single content to a number of contents. Take the mass line, not only limited to the content of some major decisions, but including economic, political, cultural, social development and other aspects, should reflect the requirements of the mass line.
