Background of the Core Values of Contemporary Revolutionary Soldiers

(a) The worldwide ideological struggle is unprecedented.

Since Marxism spread around the world, especially since the emergence of the first socialist country in the world, the struggle between socialism and capitalism has never stopped.

Since 1950s, the western capitalist camp has been carrying out the strategy of "peaceful evolution" towards the Soviet Union, China and other socialist countries, trying to break through the fortress from within. The essence of "peaceful evolution" strategy is to infiltrate and subvert socialist countries with capitalist ideology. In 1980s, western hostile forces took advantage of the difficulties and crises in socialist countries to further intensify ideological infiltration, which was an important reason for the "drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe".

After the end of the Cold War, with the in-depth development of political multipolarization, economic globalization and scientific and technological informationization, various ideas and cultures in the world have stirred up each other, and exchanges, blending and confrontation between different civilizations have become more frequent. The integration of culture with economy and politics has deepened, and the combination with science and technology has become closer, and the struggle in the ideological field has never been more intense. Since China implemented the policy of reform and opening-up, western hostile forces have used the favorable opportunity of China's opening-up to the outside world to spread their ideology and values to China, expand their cultural and ideological infiltration, and step up their strategic plan of westernization and splitting China. The westernization, differentiation, infiltration and sabotage activities carried out by hostile forces in the West for a long time are concrete manifestations of international cultural competition and ideological struggle.

(2) At present, China's ideological field is facing a complicated situation.

The reform and opening-up has promoted China's economic development and social progress, and China's advanced socialist culture has also prospered, effectively resisting the cultural infiltration and sabotage activities of western hostile forces and crushing its strategic plot of "peaceful evolution".

However, in this historical process, profound changes in the international and domestic situation have made China's ideological field face unprecedented complexity. Internationally, western developed countries rely on their economic and technological advantages to strengthen ideological infiltration in an attempt to promote and expand their political ideas and values to China. Domestically, China has entered a critical period of reform and development. With the diversification of socio-economic composition, organizational form, employment mode, distribution mode and interest relationship, with the continuous adjustment of interest pattern and the diversification of social life, people's social thoughts are unprecedentedly active, social consciousness is more diverse and changeable, and various values are intertwined, collided and influenced.

(C) The essence of ideological struggle is a contest between different core value systems.

Western countries led by the United States have long infiltrated and expanded the ideology of developing countries, especially socialist countries, which is essentially the infiltration and expansion of their core values. Vigorously cultivating the core values of contemporary revolutionary soldiers is an important aspect of building a socialist core value system and an inevitable requirement for coping with fierce struggles in the ideological field.
