The Historical Necessity of "Four Confidence"

For a political party, a country, and a nation, self-confidence is a very precious spiritual cornerstone. Looking at a hundred years, the party has led the people to explore the road, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and verified the correctness of the road, the scientific theory, the superiority of the system, and the advanced culture, and built an unshakable "four self-confidence".
Create the right path in exploration and comparison. Road exploration began with the arduous revolutionary struggle. What path the Chinese revolution should take, Marxist classic writers did not give ready-made answers. After the Autumn Harvest Uprising, under the circumstances that the revolutionary forces were relatively weak and the struggle environment was complex and harsh, the party, based on reality, decided to establish rural revolutionary base areas and take the correct road of encircling cities with rural areas. it has opened up a good situation for the spark of the Chinese revolution to form a prairie fire and finally win the national victory. If the base area is the "cradle of revolution", then the Kuomintang's five "encirclement and suppression" campaigns on the base area are an attempt to strangle the Chinese revolution led by the party in the cradle. In the face of the painful failure of the fifth anti "encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Communist Party of China fully learned from experience and lessons, thoroughly criticized all kinds of erroneous ideas, established Mao Zedong's leading position in the Party Central Committee and the Red Army, transferred the revolutionary cause to the right road, and realized the rebirth of the revolutionary struggle. Road exploration continues to demonstrate vitality in reform and innovation. In 1978, under the guidance of the historic decision of reform and opening up, China launched economic system reform, vigorously promoted scientific and technological innovation, and continuously liberated and developed social productive forces. In just over 40 years, it has shown the bright future of socialism with Chinese characteristics to the world. This is the result of the Chinese Communists insisting on seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, reforming and innovating, exploring and pioneering, and the result of the continuous improvement and development of the socialist road. On the new journey, to strengthen road self-confidence is to be based on the two overall situations, always maintain strategic determination, neither follow the old road of closure and rigidity, nor the evil road of changing the flag, and unswervingly follow the socialism with Chinese characteristics. The road is advancing courageously.
and form scientific theories in study and practice. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, Mao Zedong wrote the famous "On Practice" and "On Contradiction" in the cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi. The birth of the "two theories" not only made a phased summary of the strategic line of the Chinese revolution, but also took the opposition to Japanese imperialism as a new beginning, and systematically thought about the subsequent revolutionary struggle, which is the philosophical basis for the Sinicization of Marxism. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the party proceeded from the specific reality of my country's backward productivity, underdeveloped commodity economy, and tortuous development of socialist construction, combined with the expositions of Marxist classic writers on the stage of socialist development and the construction of other socialist countries. Lessons clearly put forward the scientific judgment that our country is and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. This conclusion accurately defines the historical coordinates and orientation of China's socialist development, and ensures that the line, principles and policies formulated by the party conform to the ruling law of the Communist Party and the basic national conditions. On the new journey, to strengthen theoretical self-confidence is to unswervingly insist on arming the mind with Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, continuously improve the ability to use scientific theories to guide practice and promote work, and solidly promote the latest achievements of Marxism in China. Take root.
Demonstrate institutional advantages in innovation and breakthroughs. During the War of Resistance against Japan, in order to unite all anti-Japanese classes and strata and mobilize the broadest forces to persist in the War of Resistance, the Party creatively put forward the "three-three system", stipulating that in the staffing of political organs in the anti-Japanese base areas, Communist Party members, non-party leftist progressives and non-leftist centrists each occupied the 1/3, consolidating and developing the anti-Japanese national United front. At the beginning of the founding of New China, according to the situation at that time, the CPC Central Committee determined the general line for the transitional period, and the agricultural cooperative movement organized scattered and fragile agricultural individuals to carry out mutual assistance and cooperation; the socialist transformation of handicraft industry allowed more than 90% of handicraftsmen in the country to join cooperatives; and the socialist transformation of capitalist industry and commerce adopted the policy of "peaceful redemption", so that the exploiters in old China turned into self-dependent laborers. After the "three major transformations" were basically completed, the barren and backward institutional sources of old China were fundamentally eradicated, paving the way for the transition from a new democratic society to socialism. The people's congress system is an important carrier to promote China's political development. In 1954, marked by the convening of the first session of the first National people's Congress and the promulgation of the Constitution, the system of China's people's Congress was formally established to ensure that the party leads the people to effectively govern the country and that the people are masters of their own destiny. On the new journey, to strengthen institutional self-confidence is to adhere to the fundamental political system unswervingly, promote the improvement of the institutional system in deepening institutional reform, enhance governance capabilities in strict system implementation, and transform significant institutional advantages into powerful governance modernization.
Gestation of advanced culture in the inheritance and development. The Zunyi Conference was a meeting of the Communist Party of China to independently use the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism to solve the problems of the Chinese revolution, and it was also a meeting to fully promote democracy and concentration. The meeting corrected mistakes and united people's hearts. The inner-party democracy and centralized culture shown in it have been continuously continued and promoted. Now it has become an important connotation of the advantages of the Chinese Communist Party system and an important symbol of a mature Marxist party. At the beginning of the founding of New China, for the dignity of the motherland and the nation, the Chinese people's volunteers were brave and tenacious, giving up their lives and giving up their lives, showing the spirit of patriotism, heroism, revolutionary optimism and internationalism incisively and vividly. The spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is in the same line as the Jinggangshan spirit, the Long March spirit, and the Yan'an spirit in the revolutionary culture, as well as the Lei Feng spirit, the "two bombs and one star" spirit, and the spirit of poverty alleviation in the advanced socialist culture, and it is also in line with the excellent Chinese tradition nurtured by more than 5000 years of civilization. Culture is the symbol and confidence of the Chinese nation's cultural confidence. The core values recognized by the whole society are the most lasting and deepest strength of a country and a nation. From the perspective of promoting the construction of socialist culture and consolidating the common ideological foundation, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to actively cultivate and practice the socialist core values. The core values of socialism have both the strength of civilization and the characteristics of the times. They embody the essence of traditional culture such as people-oriented, patriotism, reform and innovation, fairness and justice. At the same time, they are also based on the practical results of the party's leadership in the stages of revolution, construction, and reform, and integrate the red culture. The essence and the value pursuit of the new era. On the new journey, to strengthen cultural self-confidence is to strengthen the direction of advanced socialist culture, continue to stimulate cultural innovation and creativity, expand the influence of mainstream values, enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation, and build a socialist cultural power.
