Deeply Grasping the Era of the Party's Theoretical Innovation | Theory | Era
The era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory.Deepening the understanding of the contemporary nature of the Party's theoretical innovation is an inevitable requirement for opening up a new realm of Marxism with Chinese characteristics and modernization. In the new era and new journey, the Party's theoretical innovation should continue to timely and scientifically answer new issues of the times, demonstrate the openness and timeliness of Marxism, and enable contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism to demonstrate a stronger and more convincing power of truth.
Answering the issues of the times runs through the theoretical innovation process of the Party
Marxism is a product that answers the questions of the times, and its timeliness is an important characteristic. Marxism is the scientific theoretical system and essence of thought created by Marx and Engels to solve the problems of their times, and is a theoretical response to the question of the times about where capitalism is going. Marxist scientific theory correctly grasps the characteristics of capitalism, scientifically reveals the basic contradictions and laws of movement of capitalism, points out the development trend of capitalism and the direction of human society, and fully reflects the progressiveness of the times. The development history of Marxism is the history of Marx, Engels, and their successors constantly enriching and developing according to the times, practice, and understanding.
The theoretical innovation of the Party has made a leap in continuously answering the questions of the times.
In the revolutionary struggle, the CPC, with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative, combined the basic principles of Marxism Leninism with the specific reality of China, theoretically summarized a series of original experiences accumulated through hard exploration and great sacrifice, opened up the correct revolutionary road for rural villages to encircle cities and seize power with arms, created Mao Zedong Thought, and pointed out the right direction for the victory of the new democratic revolution. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the CPC, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main representative, united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in China, profoundly summarized the positive and negative experience since the founding of New China, centered on the fundamental issue of what socialism is and how to build socialism, and learned from the historical experience of socialism in the world, and founded Deng Xiaoping Theory. After the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th CPC Central Committee, the people of the CPC, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups, adhered to the Party's basic theory and line, deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party, and formed the important thought of "Three Represents". After the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the main representative, united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in promoting practical innovation, theoretical innovation and institutional innovation in the process of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, deeply understood and answered the major questions of what kind of development to achieve and how to develop under the new situation, and formed the scientific outlook on development.
We have achieved a new leap in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
Insight into the overall trend of the times is the intrinsic driving force for the Party's theoretical innovation
The issue of the times is the driving force for theoretical innovation. In the new era, facing the complex international and domestic situation, we must scientifically understand and accurately grasp the domestic and international trends, coordinate the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century. In the context of the accelerated evolution and deep interaction of the "two major situations", the new exam questions posed by the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times are more complex and difficult than in the past. It is urgent for us to submit answers from the combination of theory and practice.
The unprecedented great changes in the world call for the Party's theoretical innovation to expand new horizons. In today's era, with the deepening of world multipolarity, economic globalization, social informatization, and cultural diversity, the transformation of global governance system and international order is accelerating. Countries are increasingly interconnected and dependent on each other, and the balance of international power is becoming more balanced. The trend of peaceful development is irreversible. At the same time, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, facing prominent instability and uncertainty, intensified geopolitical games among major powers, weak global economic recovery, rising anti globalization trends, and the continuous spread of non-traditional security threats such as terrorism, cybersecurity, major infectious diseases, and climate change. Human society is facing many common problems that urgently need to be solved. Our party maintains and promotes the theoretical character of Marxist political parties keeping up with the times, grasps historical initiative in the unprecedented great changes, actively conducts theoretical research and exploration, timely and scientifically answers a series of historical issues brought about by the world's unprecedented great changes, and promotes the continuous enrichment and development of the party's innovative theories.
The strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation calls for the Party's theoretical innovation to climb new heights. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the historical mission of the CPC. At present, we are closer, more confident, and capable than ever before in history to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. However, China's reform, development, and stability, domestic and foreign affairs, national defense, and governance of the party, country, and military are also facing a series of new major issues. Major risks in politics, ideology, economy, technology, society, external environment, and party building also need to be prevented and resolved. How to gain a profound insight into the times and grasp the direction of progress more accurately? This puts forward new expectations and requirements for the theoretical innovation of the Party. The CPC is an advanced party guided by Marxism. It has profound insight and theoretical creativity, and is good at listening to the voice of the times and solving problems raised by the times. Advanced in theory, powerful in action. This theoretical advantage can inspire a powerful force to work together and create the future, clear the ideological fog that troubles and restricts practical development, find the "key" to solving the problems of the times, and use the light of thought and theory to lead the Chinese nation towards great rejuvenation.
Promoting the pulse of the quasi era through theoretical innovation based on practice
The development of practice is never-ending, and our understanding of truth and theoretical innovation are never-ending. Contemporary China is undergoing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history, with unprecedented tasks of reform, development, and stability, numerous contradictions, risks, and challenges, as well as unprecedented challenges in governance. The profound changes in the world, unprecedented in a century, have put forward a large number of theoretical and practical issues that urgently need to be answered. We must keep up with the pulse of the times, listen to the voices of the people, respond to practical needs, and continuously promote theoretical innovation and creation in practice.
Promoting theoretical innovation with the pulse of the quasi era requires us to write a new chapter in the benign interaction between theoretical innovation and practical innovation. The leap in theory is not reflected in the innovation of words and phrases, but ultimately in answering practical questions and leading practical development. Promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism is a theoretical innovation based on practice. To promote the theoretical innovation of the Party, we must not blindly follow the mass line, vigorously conduct investigations and research, draw on the wisdom of the people, reflect their wishes, respect their pioneering spirit, focus on summarizing new experiences from the creative practice of the people, elevate them to rational understanding, extract new theoretical achievements, and form theories that the people love, identify with, and possess. Let the Party's innovative theories become powerful ideological weapons guiding the people to understand and transform the world.
Promoting theoretical innovation with the pulse of the quasi era requires us to firmly establish a grand historical perspective. Analyze the evolution mechanism and explore historical laws from the long river of history, the tide of the times, and global storms, propose corresponding strategic strategies, and enhance the systematicity, foresight, and creativity of theoretical research work. History, reality, and the future are interconnected. Drawing wisdom and strength from history is a fine tradition of our party. We need to grasp the development trajectory and correct direction of world history with a broader and longer-term perspective, recognize the overall logical trend of China's social development and human social development, continuously deepen our understanding of the laws of the Communist Party's governance, socialist construction, and human social development, comprehensively and systematically propose scientific concepts and effective countermeasures to solve practical problems, and achieve more fruitful theoretical innovation results in the new era and new journey.
