First of all, ideological and political education should adhere to Marxism and support the party's line and principles.
Great social practice needs the guidance of scientific theory, and ideological and political education, as a social practice, can not be separated from the guidance of scientific theory. Looking back on the course of the party, we can find that ideological and political education is our party's political advantage and fine tradition, and it plays a more important role in different development periods of the party.
In different historical periods, our party faces different contradictions and problems. In the process of Marxism in China, China formulated a practical line and policy according to the development of the revolution and the change of the current situation, and constantly adjusted and improved it in practice. In the era of revolutionary war, ideological and political education should make people realize that imperialist aggression against China needs the common resistance of our whole nation. Only by recognizing China clearly in a complicated situation can we save China and lead the people of China to a new society. In the period of peaceful development, ideological and political education should be based on the new international and domestic situation of the development of New China, unite the national centripetal force and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Marxism is the guiding ideology of China, and the Party's correct line and policy is to develop Marxism. Ideological and political education should not only adhere to Marxism, but also not deviate from the party's line and principles. With this principle and premise, the development of ideological and political education will not be without direction.
Second, closely focus on the central task of the party's ideological and political education.
Ideological and political education is an important part of all the work of the Party. Generally speaking, it must be carried out around the central task of the party, and at the same time it must be combined with the specific tasks of various periods and fronts. When China was founded, China was in the period of the Great Revolution. The central task of the party is to publicize the party's ideas and programs among the broad masses of workers and peasants, raise their revolutionary consciousness, and consciously participate in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution. In the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation and the Northern Expedition, the party's ideological and political education should serve the overall situation and mobilize the people to actively support it. During the agrarian revolution, the revolutionary situation was not optimistic, and the party and the army led by the party were facing difficulties. The main purpose of the Party's ideological and political education is to make the Party firmly grasp the leadership of the army, which is the key to the success of the China Revolution. In the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, facing the national crisis of foreign invasion, the central task of the Party's ideological and political education is to educate and unite all forces that can be united. No matter China, the Kuomintang or the people, only by defeating foreign enemies can there be national independence and development. In the war of liberation, the party's ideological and political education is to make the people of the whole country realize that only China can lead the people of China to a better tomorrow, and at the same time, when the revolution is about to win, the party itself should change its role in time, grasp the political power and establish a new China.
After the founding of New China, the primary task of the Party and the state is to restore the national economy as soon as possible and realize the transformation from a new democratic society to a socialist society. Therefore, the party's ideological and political education should be combined with the actual work at that time, not divorced from the party's central task, do a good job in propaganda, and actively mobilize the people of the whole country to participate in socialist construction. Of course, in the subsequent socialist construction, we also experienced setbacks. Although the price paid was huge and even unnecessary to some extent, China finally succeeded in its transformation. After the reform and opening up, "one center and two basic points" put forward that the first priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country is to develop the economy. As the lifeline of economic work, ideological and political education needs to serve both domestic and international situations. Ideological and political education should conform to the trend of the times and provide theoretical support and spiritual motivation for socialist practice.
Three, ideological and political education should adhere to the people-oriented, and consciously adjust the task of personnel training.
In the final analysis, ideological and political education is an activity to educate people and has a clear educational purpose. Ideological and political education has distinct ideological functions. The party's ideological and political education cannot be divorced from the central work and tasks of the party and the country in a certain period. The task of ideological and political education is to cultivate talents needed by the party and the country.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was in a historical period when foreign countries were not yet independent, and the people of China suffered from domestic troubles and foreign invasion. In China, a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, during the democratic revolution, the Party's ideological and political education was to train revolutionaries who could meet the needs of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary struggle. In the 28 years before the founding of New China, the China Revolution experienced both the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to fight against enemies at home and abroad, and the break between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. There are both exciting moments of revolutionary victory and difficult stages of hopeless revolution. It can be said that China's revolution was not only not smooth sailing, but also experienced many hardships.
Different from the revolutionary war period, after the founding of New China, the Party and the country faced different international and domestic environments, as well as new tasks and tasks different from the past. At this time, the Party's ideological and political education should also adjust its training task in time to meet the needs of building socialist China in the new period. Of course, due to the influence of some subjective and objective factors, the new China has taken many detours on its way forward, and it has paid a considerable price while making achievements. After several generations of exploration and development, our party's ideological and political education has been continuously improved.
It can be seen that our party has always taken Marxism's thought on the all-round development of human beings as the main line, and consciously established different talent training tasks for ideological and political education according to the different requirements of social development in each specific historical period. Nowadays, the goal of promoting and realizing people's all-round development is people-oriented, which fully embodies the goal and concept that people are the fundamental purpose of social development. This is the value pursuit of our party's ideological and political education, and it is also the fundamental purpose of ideological and political education.
Fourth, adhere to the basic principle of seeking truth from facts and constantly explore ways and means of ideological and political education.
Looking back on the practice of our party leading revolution and construction, we can clearly see that every step of our progress can not be separated from the ideological line of seeking truth from facts. This is a fine tradition and style gradually formed by the Party in leading China's revolution and construction. From the ideological source, the smooth development of China's revolution and construction lies in our Party's insistence on seeking truth from facts. That's why the Agrarian Revolution and the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression led to the establishment of a new China, the rapid development of socialist construction and the new look of China after the reform and opening up. Of course, in history, our party has also had a lesson of seeking truth from facts. In the process of integrating Marxism with China's reality, our Party also made "Left" or "Right" mistakes in the revolution, which led to twists and turns in the revolutionary cause. The mistakes made by Mao Zedong in his later years and the setbacks in the process of socialist construction are also the result of deviating from seeking truth from facts. Therefore, only by seeking truth from facts can our future social development proceed smoothly. The Party's ideological and political education should persist in seeking truth from facts and proceed from reality, and at the same time, we should constantly explore ways and methods of ideological and political education. During the founding of the Party, China * * * started from the reality of the China Revolution, combined with the Party's program, and aimed at the actual situation of the low level of mass education at that time, formed educational methods such as integrating theory with practice, investigation and research, and indoctrination. Then according to the development of the revolutionary situation in China,
Educational methods such as critical education, "learning lessons and saving lives" were gradually formed, which unified the thinking of the whole party in Yan' an rectification movement. After the founding of New China, Mao Zedong put forward the method of "unity-criticism-unity" to correctly handle contradictions among the people. The reform and opening up has brought about changes in people's thinking while opening up the country. At this time, ideological and political education should be combined with solving practical problems, adhere to the combination of ideological and political education and material interests, and adhere to persuasion education and demonstration education. In any case, we should not use coercion to solve ideological problems. Today, the methods of ideological and political education can be said to be no longer simple propaganda and indoctrination. The development of information technology and new media has not only brought changes to our life and study, but also changed the ways and means of ideological and political education. But in any case, ideological and political education must adhere to the combination of inheriting fine traditions and improving and innovating, constantly sum up and create new experiences, and strive to expand effective ways of ideological and political education under the new situation.
Fifth, ideological and political education should bring visible benefits to people.
The people are the creators of history and all material and spiritual wealth. Ideological and political education should respect the people's dominant position and serve the people. The mass line of "all for the masses, all relying on the masses, coming from the masses and going to the masses" created and developed by the Party in the long-term revolutionary struggle and socialist construction practice is a fine tradition and political advantage of our country, and of course it is also a fine tradition and experience of the Party's ideological and political work.
Looking back at the history of the party, we can see that since its founding, the party has always put the interests of the people first. Only when the power is used by the people and the interests are sought by the people will the people believe and support a political party. Of course, the party's program and purpose can't and won't stop at establishing theory without putting it into practice, but at the same time it will give people tangible material benefits and guide them to strengthen their communist beliefs.
With the rapid development of economy and society and the diversification of people's concepts and values, empty talk about theories or ideals can no longer meet the diverse needs of the people. Especially in the period of frequent social contradictions, people are increasingly eager to get their legitimate needs in a fair and just social environment, thus closely linking individual development with the development of the country and society. Therefore, ideological and political education should fully consider the actual needs of the people, and at the same time improve the quality of the whole people, it should also bring tangible material and spiritual benefits to the people.
