A heavy snowfall not only reveals the purity of snowflakes, but also reveals the true face of some people, and highlights the current situation of our public service detachment from the masses.
Recently, the issue of "public officials raising flags to clear the snow" has aroused widespread discussion on the Internet. Originally, the public service expected to promote themselves through this snow-clearing incident, but unexpectedly, it attracted strong opposition and criticism.
Some netizens pointed out that this kind of behavior is more like hyping up their own image and brushing up their sense of existence, rather than really serving the masses, which is a typical manifestation of hypocrisy and formalism.
Other netizens believe that this move is likely to cope with the assessment of superiors and complete task indicators, rather than taking the initiative to take responsibility and solve practical problems, showing the typical characteristics of perfunctory and bureaucracy.
There are also some people who believe that this kind of behavior may be aimed at occupying public resources and wasting manpower and material resources, rather than using them sparingly and making reasonable arrangements, and that it is a manifestation of disrespect for the interests of the masses and irresponsibility.
This phenomenon of formalism seems to have become a common phenomenon in the ranks of the civil service.
Not long ago, the incident of a member of the CPPCC in Shangqiu dragging the elderly carrying Chinese cabbage to take pictures under the banner in the cold wind became a hot search, once again highlighting this pathology. Public servants seem to be happy to put their actions on the table, pursuing formal excitement while ignoring the depth and effectiveness of the actual work.
Why is the civil service so keen on formalism?
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon:
First of all, subjectivism and utilitarianism play a leading role in it, which is rooted in the dislocation of the concept of political performance and the lack of responsibility. This is mainly manifested in the disconnection between action and concept, the lack of focus on practical results, and the overemphasis on form rather than substance. This runs counter to the party's ideological line of seeking truth from facts and damages the prestige of the party and the party.
Formalism is mainly embodied in the contempt for investigation and research and the indifference to the actual situation, which leads to information failure and decision-making errors. This practice wastes human, material, financial and time resources.
How can the civil service break out of formalism?
First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of party spirit, establish the concept of serving the people wholeheartedly, keep in mind the nature and purpose of the party, consciously resist formalism, and practice what we do.
Second, establish and improve a long-term mechanism for theoretical Xi, examine problems, and grasp rectification and reform, and incorporate the system of vigorously guarding against formalism into the system of not forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind, so as to create a clean and healthy political ecology to achieve the great goal of struggle in the new era.
