A brief discussion on how to properly control the "entry gate" of party members and improve the quality of the party members' team

Comrade Hu Jintao emphasized at the 7th Plenary Session of the 17th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that we must vigorously maintain the purity of party members and cadres, and specifically proposed to "control the entrance of party members." If the party organization is compared to a body, then party members are the cells that make up the body and are the basis for the healthy and normal operation of the body. How to properly control the "entrance" of party members and continuously deliver high-quality fresh cells to the party organization is the source of work to maintain the purity and advanced nature of the party member team. Based on the long-term practical experience of carrying out party affairs work at the grassroots level, the author talks about some superficial insights. 1. Problems currently existing in the development of party members in grassroots units: First, applicants are highly motivated to join the party, but their motivations are not correct enough. Conscripts, college students who joined the police, etc. immediately submitted applications for joining the Party to the organization as soon as they left the unit, reflecting their urgent desire to join the Party. Some individuals did not even write the application for joining the Party by hand, but only copied a copy in a format and hurriedly submitted it to the organization without doing anything. Being able to realize the seriousness of joining the party lacks a basic understanding of the party constitution, the party's history, and the nature of the party. Second, the contact person has a good personal relationship with the party activists, which affects the objective assessment. Through on-the-spot observation, the author found that the training contacts of the grassroots boat fleet and the party activists usually belong to the same department, live in the same cabin, and have a very "iron" private relationship. Although it provides convenience for educating and helping the party activists, it will inevitably lead to The superior party organization added subjective assumptions when reporting on the comrade's situation, which prevented the organization from correctly understanding the comrade's situation. Third, organizations at all levels have discussions and studies, but there is a lack of long-term follow-up supervision. Taking our brigade as an example, through long-term persistence in implementing the "Four Basics" and strictly standardizing the organizational life process in accordance with the "Examples of Life and Work of Grassroots Party Organizations", the current grassroots youth league branches and party groups can objectively and fairly conduct the preliminary review of applicants for party membership. Approvals are discussed and recommended at all levels. The grassroots branch can strictly follow the party member development procedures to pass the test one by one, inspect each item, and conduct collective discussion and research. Party committee members can also talk to the applicant in a timely manner, inspect and report to the brigade party committee for approval. However, after reporting at all levels, There is a lack of follow-up supervision, and it is believed that the "responsibility" has been completed. When the author asks the responsible persons about their understanding of the comrade, they often only understand some of the information reported by the comrade in writing. The phenomenon of "routine affairs" is relatively common. There is a lack of multi-angle, in-depth, and long-term understanding and investigation. 2. Analysis of the causes of the problems: First, some officers and soldiers have the idea of ??"joining the party for the sake of joining the party." There is a common thought among conscripts and non-commissioned officers that they join the army just to join the party, make meritorious service, and go back to see the "Jiangdong elders" so that they can have an explanation. Some cadres think that they are cadres. If they have not even joined the party, they cannot be justified at home. , They cannot raise their heads in front of management warriors, so they cannot correct their motivations for joining the party and correctly view the development of party members. Second, some contact persons were not selected objectively, resulting in infrequent educational guidance. Grassroots party organizations usually consider cultivating contacts to facilitate regular communication with party activists, and designate party member contacts who are in the same class or dormitory as the party activists. Since the two already work and live together, their personal relationship is very close. Well, the contact person thought that the comrade was very good in all aspects, "not bad at all", but even if there were shortcomings, he did not pay attention to more education and guidance, and did not report truthfully to his superiors. Third, some organizations equate recommending people to join the party with recommending merit and awards. Including Youth League branches, party groups, party branches and even grassroots brigade party committees, the development of party members is equated to merit evaluation. Some comrades with particularly excellent professional abilities, outstanding performance in a certain action, and good conduct with others are recommended to join the party, believing that they should Comrades' joining the Party has been "decided" and they only need to go through the "routine" procedures. It ignores that the development of party members is to consider whether the comrades comply with the provisions of the Party Constitution and five aspects such as political beliefs, military quality, ideology and ethics, work style and discipline, and backbone role. There is a lack of systematic, long-term, and deeper-level inspection and evaluation. 3. Some thoughts on improving the quality of the work of developing party members in grassroots troops (1) Establishing a red cultural education system for grassroots troops. The first is to exaggerate the red cultural atmosphere of the police camp.

Set up "martyr light boxes", "red slogans" and "red display boards" in grassroots military camps, and persist in carrying out red cultural activities such as "reading red books", "watching red movies", "singing red songs" and "telling red stories" to let The vast number of officers and soldiers, especially the new comrades who have just joined the grassroots units, have experienced the baptism of red culture and have been immersed in the fine traditions of red. The second is to open red cultural interest classes. Persist in setting up red cultural interest classes before joining the party to attract ordinary officers and soldiers and party activists to participate in learning, improve their basic understanding of the party constitution, party history, and party spirit, and further correct the motivation of the majority of officers and soldiers to join the party. The third is to establish a long-term mechanism for party building and team building. Establish a standardized "helping and guiding" mechanism for party building and league building, clarify the "helping and mentoring" responsibilities of grassroots party branches, guide the league branches to establish standardized basic systems for league member development, management, and recommendation of party activists, and stipulate that league members and soldiers must go through the process of joining the party. Recommendation by the regiment branch is a necessary procedure for joining the party, which continuously stimulates the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the regiment to strive for excellence. (2) Standardize the training and inspection procedures for party activists. One is to randomly select contacts for training. Breaking the traditional training contact selection model, using a random and chaotic method to select two official party members from different classes and different dormitories as training contacts, paying more attention to educating and guiding party activists, and reporting the comrade's situation to the organization more objectively . The second is to scientifically formulate branch committee inspection books. Scientifically and rationally formulate each branch committee member's inspection book for party activists, requiring branch committee members to master first-hand information on the comrade in advance before the branch's semi-annual inspection and appraisal, and have a more comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the comrade's situation. . The third is to strictly implement the training and assessment system. The party committee of the grassroots brigade insists on annual analysis of the team of party activists, strictly implements the training and assessment system for party activists, and fairly and impartially selects annual party member development targets through written examinations, interviews, ability tests and other methods. (3) Smooth and widen the channels for ordinary officers and soldiers to be promoted to join the party. The first is to correct the one-sided development standards for party members. Correct the one-sided party member development standards that only look at achievements, fame, and reputation, correctly distinguish party member development from merit evaluation, and compare the party constitution and the conditions for the development of existing military party members in the Public Security and Border Defense Forces, and pass and review each item. The second is to prevent vulgar exchange of benefits for joining the party. It is necessary to prevent any organization or individual from using their party membership approval rights to exchange interests with grassroots officers and soldiers, and strictly prevent individual party workers from seeking personal gain. Once detected and verified, they will be reported to the superior organization for serious handling. The third is to encourage the correct model of promotion and joining the party. Make the correct and standardized process of joining the party a demonstration film to educate and guide grassroots officers and soldiers. Party members are around you and advanced people are around you. As long as you establish the correct motivation for joining the party and noble ideals and beliefs, you can become the talents needed by the party members and the development of the army. . (4) Establish and improve the supervision and accountability system for party member development. The first is to establish and improve the publicity system for party member development. After accepting the party member development targets reported by the branches under its jurisdiction, the grassroots brigade party committee strictly complies with the publicity content, scope, and time required by the system, and promptly publicizes the development targets through the party affairs disclosure column and the public security website's special party member development bulletin column. A special record book will be established to record relevant issues reported by officers and soldiers for future reference. The second is to establish and improve the voting system for party member development. Scientifically understand that party activists, party member development targets, probationary party members and formal party members are completely different identities, establish a targeted voting system, and mainly use differential voting when voting for party activists, party member development targets, and probationary party members. Ensure the fairness of the party member voting system; when voting for probationary party members to become regular members, adopt the form of equal voting to test the actual maturity and comprehensive quality of probationary party members. The third is to establish and improve the accountability system for party member development. The author is Mo Xinhua, political commissar of the Third Brigade of the Jiangsu Coast Guard Detachment
