Building a Marxist Learning Party

■ Dai Yanjun

To build a Marxist learning party, we must first adhere to Marxism as the fundamental guiding ideology for building the party and the country, closely combine China's national conditions and the characteristics of the times, and promote Marxist theoretical innovation. Of course, a Marxist learning party must first adhere to the guiding position of Marxism. Why do we insist on the guiding position of Marxism is because Marxism is a science. Using Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method to understand and analyze problems can enable us to accurately grasp the overall situation of world development, the basic national conditions of the primary stage of socialism and the reality of reform and development. Just as all sciences come from practice and need to develop constantly in practice, the vitality of Marxism is also reflected in our application and continuous development in practice. Therefore, adhering to Marxism requires us to constantly promote the China, modernization and popularization of Marxism.

In contemporary China, the latest theoretical achievement of the development of Marxism is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system. This theoretical system embodies the unity of the universal truth of Marxism and the reality of socialist construction in contemporary China. Therefore, it is our essential requirement to thoroughly study and master Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, combine it with specific work in all aspects, study and solve the most direct and realistic interest issues that the people are most concerned about, the major issues of reform, development and stability of local departments and the outstanding issues of party building, and constantly enhance the principle, systematicness, foresight and creativity of our work.

To truly make Marxist theory a guide for all our work and a theoretical guide for party member cadres to consciously follow, we need to solve the problem of ideals and beliefs of party member cadres at a deeper level. To solve the problem of ideals and beliefs, party member cadres should not only master Marxist theory, but also consciously practice the socialist core value system in practice, and turn the mastered theory into the inherent requirements of various practical activities. So as to consciously draw a clear line between right and wrong, and always maintain a firm position and a clear head in a complex realistic environment.

To achieve the goal of building a learning party, it is necessary to build party organizations at all levels into learning party organizations, and create a strong atmosphere of advocating learning in the whole party through various practical organizational measures and scientific and reasonable rules and regulations. Moreover, according to the needs of modernization, while focusing on studying Marxist theory, we should create conditions for party member cadres to extensively study the Party's line, principles, policies and national laws and regulations, and learn all kinds of knowledge needed for modernization. □

Effectively carry forward inner-party democracy

■ Gao Xinmin

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee once again reiterated that inner-party democracy is the life of the party, and put forward the development ideas of inner-party democracy from various aspects.

What is the development path of inner-party democracy under the specific political system in China? In this regard, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee clearly pointed out that "the protection of democratic rights in party member is the foundation, and the strengthening of inner-party grassroots democracy is the foundation" to effectively promote inner-party democracy. That is, starting from the grassroots, starting from the protection of party member's basic rights, and promoting the construction of inner-party democratic system from the bottom up belong to gradual reform.

There are many democratic rights in party member, mainly the eight basic rights stipulated by party constitution. Generally speaking, the right to know, to participate, to vote and to supervise is the right of party member. The real realization of these rights depends on the construction of the inner-party system.

Party member is the subject of rights and powers within the Party. However, since many party member can't directly manage inner-party affairs, how to manage inner-party affairs and how to operate inner-party power has become something that party member should have known, but it is impossible to know at any time because of the different social division of labor. In this context, the openness of party affairs is a necessary system to protect party member's right to know. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China openly wrote party affairs into party constitution. In recent years, the party has been carrying out pilot projects for the openness of party affairs. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee once again raised this issue, proposing to establish a spokesman system for party committees and run party newspapers, journals and websites of party building well. This is undoubtedly one of the favorable measures to protect party member's right to know.

Party member's participation in inner-party affairs also includes his participation in inner-party decision-making. Democratic decision-making within the party includes two aspects. The first aspect is party member's participation in decision-making on major issues. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to broaden the channels for party member to express his opinions and establish and improve the system of hearing and consultation on inner-party affairs. This is a powerful driving force for promoting information exchange and establishing communication mechanism within the party. The second aspect is the democratic decision-making within the Party committee. To implement democratic centralism within Party committees, it is necessary to give full play to the decision-making role of the National Committee on major issues, improve the rules of procedure and decision-making procedures of the Standing Committee, and implement and improve the voting system for local Party committees to discuss and decide major issues and appoint important cadres. It is noteworthy that the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee emphasized "strengthening the decision-making consultation work of Party committees", and proposed to do a good job in forward-looking and countermeasure research on major issues, extensively listen to the opinions and suggestions of party member, the masses and grassroots cadres, give play to the role of consulting research institutions, experts and scholars and social hearings in the decision-making process, and improve the decision-making error correction mechanism and accountability system. This is a new idea to improve the inner-party democratic decision-making mechanism under the new situation, and it is also the basic institutional guarantee for party member to participate in inner-party affairs.

The realization of party member's right to vote and stand for election depends on the reform of the inner-party election system. The provisions of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee on improving the inner-party election system involve four aspects: first, the aspects related to party representatives, mainly to increase the proportion of grassroots front-line representatives; Expand the participation of representatives of the party congress in nominating and recommending candidates, and improve the nomination method of candidates; Second, improve and standardize the election procedures and voting methods, and improve the methods of introducing candidates; The third is to popularize the method of combining the recommendation of party member and the masses to the leadership of grass-roots party organizations with the recommendation of higher-level party organizations, and gradually expand the scope of direct election of the leadership of grass-roots party organizations; The fourth is to strictly control the job changes of the appointment system leading cadres during their term of office and maintain the seriousness of the election results. All the above measures are highly targeted.

Party member's supervision power is embodied in many systems, such as the openness of party affairs, the openness of decision-making, and the reform of employment mechanism. Only when the inner-party democratic system is truly sound can party member's basic rights be truly realized and guaranteed. □

Improve the credibility of selecting and employing people

■ Dai Yanjun

Building a high-quality cadre team is the fundamental guarantee for the development of the party's construction and the success of the party's cause. Adhering to democracy, openness, competition and merit selection, improving the credibility of selecting and employing people, forming a dynamic mechanism for selecting and employing people, and promoting outstanding talents to stand out are the keys to cultivating and bringing up high-quality cadres.

The selection and appointment of cadres must first have correct criteria for selecting and appointing people. We should persist in making cadres more revolutionary, younger, better educated and more professional, and adhere to the employment standard of having both ability and political integrity and putting morality first. Ensure the selection of cadres with reliable politics, strong working ability, hard work style and people's trust. Let the elected cadres and organizations rest assured, satisfy the masses, give those who can do things a chance, give those who can do things a stage, and prevent honest people from suffering and speculators from benefiting.

To ensure the implementation of the correct standards for selecting and employing people, we must improve the mechanism for selecting and appointing cadres. In the nomination and recommendation of cadres, it is necessary to establish a nomination system for the selection and appointment of cadres with clear subjects, scientific procedures and clear responsibilities. Improve the scientificity and authenticity of the procedures and results of democratic recommendation and democratic evaluation of cadres, and broaden the way to recommend and use talents. In the inspection of cadres, it is necessary to improve the system and standards, enhance transparency and enhance accuracy. Improve the existing open selection and competition for posts, highlight post characteristics, and pay attention to ability and performance. In terms of supervision and accountability, it is necessary to improve the supervision mechanism and accountability system for the selection and appointment of cadres. Adhere to the party's management of talents, innovate the working mechanism of talents, enhance the vitality of talent resource allocation, improve the way of training, attracting, using, evaluating and encouraging talents, and correct the atmosphere of selecting and employing people.

On the premise of solving the problem of selecting and appointing cadres, a very important task in the construction of cadre ranks is to improve the quality of cadres in an all-round way through cadre training and education. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the ideological and political quality construction of cadres, especially leading bodies, enhance the consciousness of cadres, especially leading bodies, taking the overall situation into account, and unite and cooperate, so as to improve the entrepreneurial level of Director Scientific Outlook on Development and his ability to lead all aspects of practical work. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the work style construction of cadres, especially leading bodies. In order to better improve the quality of cadres through education and training, it is necessary to further improve the cadre training mechanism and the performance evaluation mechanism of cadres, especially the leading bodies. At the same time, by cultivating and bringing up a large number of outstanding young cadres, the age structure of leading cadres can be effectively solved.

In addition to selecting and training cadres, there is also an important task in the construction of cadres, which is the management of cadres. Under the new situation, the management of cadres should be constantly improved and perfected according to the requirements of practical development, such as classified management of cadres, exchange of cadres, rank and treatment of cadres, retired cadres and so on. On the issue of cadre management, we should adhere to the principle of combining strict requirements with care and love, constantly improve relevant systems and improve management level. □

Consolidate the organizational foundation of governance

■ Li Junwei

Expand coverage, innovate setting methods, and take organizational construction as the starting point of party building. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward clear requirements for the basic requirements of the construction of grass-roots party organizations, namely, centering on the center, serving the overall situation, expanding fields and strengthening functions. And innovative ways and expanding coverage are the starting points of party building. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee put forward new requirements for innovating the way of setting up grass-roots party organizations. According to this requirement, it will move from closed, divided and extensive to open, overall planning and intensive, forming a three-dimensional organizational network in which party organizations, party member and the masses are interrelated and complementary, and forming an organizational mechanism and foundation to promote economic and social development. It can be seen that the innovative setting mode is to better coordinate all kinds of organizations and integrate and allocate social and political resources by implementing the elements reorganization, structural optimization and functional transformation of party organizations. On the basis of setting up the model, combined with the political advantages of political parties and the resource advantages of relevant government departments, urban and rural planning will be promoted through organizational integration, and finally a comprehensive construction pattern of urban and rural planning will be formed.

Put forward specific requirements for the innovation of different types of grass-roots party organizations. Grass-roots party organizations have both individuality and individuality. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China requires grass-roots party organizations to play the role of promoting development, serving the masses, rallying people's hearts and promoting harmony. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee made specific and clear provisions on the functions and methods of different types of grass-roots party organizations. For example, the leading core role of rural party organizations is summarized as developing modern agriculture, cultivating new farmers, leading the masses to get rich and maintaining rural stability. For another example, summarizing the political core role of party organizations in state-owned enterprises as building four teams and enhancing the vitality, control and influence of the state-owned economy has a clearer guiding significance for promoting the construction of grass-roots party organizations.

The importance of party member as the basic project of grass-roots party organizations is further highlighted. Grass-roots party organizations are the concrete organizers and implementers of the party's ruling activities, and how well they play their role is directly related to the strength of the party's ruling ability. The "Decision" focuses on improving the quality of party member, puts forward new requirements for improving the education, management and service mechanism in party member, and has a direct guiding role in consolidating the achievements of advanced education in party member and giving play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party member.

The construction of leading bodies of grass-roots party organizations has been put on the important agenda. For the first time, the "Decision" put forward clear requirements for the leaders of grassroots party organizations. The leaders of grass-roots party organizations are the concrete promoters of the Party's grass-roots organizations, the leaders of party member, and the concrete implementers of the Party's line, principles and policies, which are related to the overall situation of the construction of grass-roots party organizations. The "Decision" focuses on how to select and appoint secretaries of grass-roots party organizations, highlights the key points in the construction of rural grass-roots party organizations, affirms and summarizes the advanced experience of effective selection of secretaries of grass-roots party organizations for many years, and also points out the way out for the political development and basic guarantee of the leading bodies of grass-roots party organizations. The creation of these good conditions will have a far-reaching impact on stabilizing this team and stimulating their enthusiasm for work. □

Inherit the party's fine style of work

■ Li Junwei

The basic requirements of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee for the Party's work style construction are based on an accurate judgment of the social situation and the relationship between the party and the masses. For the Marxist ruling party, it is of decisive significance to maintain the advanced nature of our party and consolidate its ruling foundation by strengthening and improving its mass work and maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the broad masses of the people. With the gradual establishment and development of the market economy, people's sense of autonomy and individual has been continuously enhanced, and the social structure has also changed, and social interest groups have gradually become diversified and complicated. First of all, with the deepening of reform, China's social structure has undergone profound changes, and divisions have taken place within all strata, and many new strata have been formed. Contradictions and conflicts between different interest groups are increasing day by day, and these problems have gradually become potential hidden dangers affecting social and political stability and unity. Therefore, the task of social governance has become increasingly heavy. Secondly, because the expression mechanism of interest demands is not perfect, the expression channels of interest demands are not smooth, and there is no effective means to alleviate contradictions, which leads to the increase of interest disputes and mass incidents, seriously endangering public safety and social stability. Finally, the diversity of social groups' needs requires the government's public service level to be continuously improved. Studying and grasping the characteristics and laws of mass work in the view of harmonious society, exploring new ways and methods, and constantly improving the skills of organizing, publicizing, educating and serving the masses are the inevitable requirements for rallying and inspiring the masses to advance together.

Make new generalizations and clear requirements for the style of government organs and party member cadres that the masses are most concerned about and the society is most concerned about. The "Decision" requires the whole Party to maintain close ties with the masses, seek truth from facts, work hard, and carry out criticism and self-criticism. These ethos are related to how leading cadres treat the masses, work and undertakings, organizations and comrades, which can best reflect the image of the party and attract the attention of the society. Where is the sincerity of contacting the masses? Where is the pressure of seeking truth and being pragmatic? Where is the motivation for hard work? Where is the courage to criticize and self-criticize? This paper makes a detailed analysis of the provisions in the Decision, and makes specific provisions and requirements on these issues from different levels and sides. At the same time, the "Decision" also puts forward the general requirements of starting with ideological education, perfecting the system, concentrating on rectification and strict discipline. We believe that grasping these main problems and solving them effectively step by step will have the effect of promoting the party style and bringing people's feelings with excellent style, and will form a powerful force to unite the party's heart and people's hearts.

On the basis of party spirit, with the system as the guarantee and educational activities as the way, we will constantly optimize the party's style of work. To solve the problems existing in the Party and form a new good style of work, all party member should insist on measuring and comparing their words and deeds with the requirements of party spirit, thus forming an important foundation and motivation for promoting the construction of style of work. At the same time, the Fourth Plenary Session further emphasized the spirit of General Secretary Hu Jintao's speech at the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Plenary Session, and passed on the Party's fine style of work through system construction. The construction of the deployment style of the "Decision" always emphasizes the guarantee role of the system. The system can reasonably stipulate the boundaries and cooperation principles of relevant departments, that is, the system not only stipulates the behavioral boundaries of what people can and cannot do, what they should and should not do, but also implies the power boundaries of relevant departments. On this basis, the "Decision" also requires party organizations at all levels to further activate and deepen the basic requirements of work style construction by carrying out activities that emphasize party spirit, value conduct and set an example. □

Accelerate the construction of a system for punishing and preventing corruption.

■ Gao Xinmin

The basic idea of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee on anti-corruption work is to adhere to the principle of treating both the symptoms and root causes, comprehensive management, giving equal attention to punishment and prevention, and paying attention to prevention. While resolutely punishing corruption, we should intensify education, supervision, reform and system innovation, prevent corruption more effectively, and constantly achieve new results in the fight against corruption. This idea continues the spirit of anti-corruption construction put forward by the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and develops in specific measures.

Strengthen the education of honesty in politics and honesty and self-discipline of leading cadres. Being honest in politics is the most basic moral conduct of leading cadres, and there are two major problems running through it, one is value orientation, and the other is system guidance and standardization. Therefore, on the one hand, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee emphasized the education of clean government and proposed that it should be included in the cadre education and training plan to build a clean government culture; On the other hand, it emphasizes the perfection of the system, especially the system for leading cadres in party member to report personal matters, including housing, investment, spouse and children's employment. This is aimed at the links and problems that are prone to corruption at present. In recent years, some places have established systems such as ethical standards for leading cadres to be honest in politics, which is a system construction of honesty and self-discipline, and provides new practical experience for fighting corruption and promoting honesty in the future.

Intensify the investigation and punishment of cases of violation of discipline and law. Investigating and handling cases is an indispensable part of fighting corruption and promoting honesty. The investigation and handling of cases not only contains the significance of palliative treatment, but also has the significance of radical treatment because it can sum up universal laws from many cases. Most of the cases investigated and dealt with in China come from people's reports, especially in recent years, the Internet has provided a large number of case clues in supervision. Therefore, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee put forward the idea of "improving the acceptance mechanism of anti-corruption network reports and the mechanism of network information collection and disposal", which has strong pertinence and is an important idea to strengthen social supervision and form a joint force of supervision.

The essence of corruption is the abuse of power. Therefore, the key to curb corruption lies in perfecting the restriction and supervision mechanism of power operation and promoting the innovation of anti-corruption system. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China continued the spirit of the Seventeenth National Congress, reaffirming the establishment and improvement of the power structure and operation mechanism in which decision-making, execution and supervision are mutually restricted and coordinated. This mutual restriction and coordination is mainly achieved through institutional innovation, such as the procedural and open transparency of power operation. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee specifically pointed out that "all major decisions involving the vital interests of the masses should be made public and subject to supervision by the masses". Only when the power operation process is open and transparent can the supervisory role of party member and the masses be brought into full play. The effect of anti-corruption depends on the reform of administrative management system, financial system and financial system, and it is also necessary to establish and improve the system to prevent conflicts of interest in order to curb the high incidence of corruption. □
