Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-14

Left-leaning refers to the tendency to seek political progress and sympathize with working people. Right-leaning, on the other hand, refers to the tendency of political and ideological understanding to lag behind reality, to be unable to change and advance with the changed objective situation, and even to go against the objective law of development. So what is the difference between left-leaning and right-leaning? Do you know?

Both left-leaning and right-leaning are contrary to Marxism and are not conducive to the building of the socialist revolution. But there is an essential difference between the two. Although the rightist trend originates from the correct ideological stream, the tendency of understanding lagging behind reality and not being able to change and advance with the changed objective situation in the face of changes in the situation, or even going against the changed objective law of development, is not conducive to the building of the socialist revolution.

The "left" ideology, on the other hand, is manifested in subjectively exaggerating revolutionary forces, belittling the enemy's strength and objective difficulties, and taking blind and risky actions; or to blur the boundaries between the contradictions between the enemy and ourselves and the contradictions among the people, and adopt a policy of brutal struggle and ruthless attack; Or implement the doctrine of closing the door on the issue of the Revolutionary Alliances and bring down everything. During the construction period, the manifestation of the "left" was, on the one hand, that it was in a hurry to achieve results regardless of the immediate reality and conditions; On the other hand, it is manifested in the fact that it does not use the Marxist stand, viewpoint, and method to analyze the objective reality that has changed, and it is not easy to accept, or even doubt and negate the correct policy of reform and opening up.

Taking class struggle as the key link is the theoretical basis of "leftist" ideology. Opposing class struggle as the key link and persistently shifting the focus of the work of the party and the state to socialist modernization is the ideological forerunner of the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee for bringing about a great turning point of far-reaching significance in the history of the Communist Party of China since the founding of New China. In order for a party, a country, and a nation to move forward with one heart and one mind, they must have a common guiding ideology to unify the thinking and action of the whole party. Building and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a major article, and only by writing this great article closely around the theme and main line can we constantly open up new realms in the development of the cause of the party and the people. Comprehensively summing up the historical experience and lessons, we have come to a deeper understanding that in order to truly solve the major problems of the path, theory, and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics encountered by a big party like ours, it is urgent to be guided by the latest achievements in the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
