The general secretary's important thinking on the party's self-revolution has scientifically answered the major questions of why the party should carry out self-revolution, why it can self-revolution, and how to promote self-revolution, and clearly put forward the practical requirements of the "nine points", which is the fundamental principle for the new era and new journey to further promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, the building of a clean and honest party style, and the anti-corruption struggle. How to understand the connotation of the "nine to" practical requirements is related to the in-depth study and implementation of the important ideas of the general secretary on the party's self-revolution and the in-depth promotion of the party's self-revolution in the new era.
Adhere to the first centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee. In the practical requirements of the "nine to", the most important thing is to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee. The Communist Party of China is a Marxist political party, and the major principle of the Marxist theory of party building is to adhere to centralized and unified leadership. Since its birth, the Communist Party of China has always taken the adherence to centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee for coping with the severe test of the living environment, and has won a great victory in the new democratic revolution. In the glorious history of New China for more than 70 years, the reason why we have overcome various risks and challenges and promoted the continuous progress of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics is fundamentally that we have always adhered to the centralized and unified leadership. In particular, the cause of Chinese-style modernization in the new era is extremely arduous and very urgent, and only by adhering to the centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee can we continuously improve the new realm of self-revolution in the theoretical and practical exploration of strengthening the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, and ensure the steady and far-reaching development of the party's cause.
The fundamental purpose is to lead the great social revolution. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has shouldered this important historical mission related to the destiny of the nation, and finally pushed the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process, and China has undergone the most profound and extensive great social revolution in human history. Looking back at this magnificent history, the party has always attached great importance to self-construction, and the party should manage the party and govern the party strictly throughout the party's struggle, never slack off in good times, and not be discouraged in adversity, showing the unique prosperity of the century-old party with a high-spirited attitude, leading the social revolution to achieve one major victory after another. The arduous tasks, complex contents, and grim situation of the great social revolution mean that our party must face up to problems, have the courage to revolutionize itself, and lead the great social revolution to continue to deepen with firmer ideals and beliefs, a clearer political character, and stronger vitality.
It is fundamentally followed by the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era contains a profound world outlook and approach, and the ability to transform its positions, views and methods into problems is the internal demand for the party's innovative theory to be effectively transformed into a powerful driving force for promoting self-revolution. The course of the party's struggle, especially the historic achievements and historic changes in the new era, proves that theoretical innovation is the source of the party's eternal vitality and continuous advancement of the party's cause. Self-revolution is the greatest advantage of our party, and it is the unswerving political mission of party members and cadres. We must take the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era as the fundamental follow, promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party while constantly strengthening the theoretical armament, and constantly promote the far-reaching and vivid practice of the party's self-revolution.
The strategic goal is to jump out of the historical cycle rate. The history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries proves that the rise and fall of "its rise and fall is also sudden" is not alarmist. How to jump out of the historical cycle rate is something that a political party that does not forget its original intention and keeps its mission in mind must always think about and explore. The "cave pair" gave the first answer to the people's democratic supervision, which was a summary of the party's valuable experience on the revolutionary road, and has been continuously confirmed in the party's cause since then. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party has been comprehensively and strictly governed into the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and major arrangements have been made to promote the construction of party style and clean government and the fight against corruption in depth. Self-revolution is the second answer to jumping out of the historical cycle, and jumping out of the historical cycle rate is the strategic goal of self-revolution.
The main direction of attack is to solve the problems unique to the big party. The unique problem of the big party, which is embodied in the "six how to always be" is related to the correct direction and core content of the party's leadership and party building, and is the key to whether our party, as the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, can always win the support of the people and consolidate its long-term ruling position. How to solve the problems unique to the big party? Self-revolution gives the genetic code for problem solving. The courage to carry out self-revolution is the most distinctive character of our party and is also the greatest advantage of our party. This unique and remarkable character and advantage can not only solve the problems that have been wanted to be solved for a long time but have not been able to solve, but also can discover or even predict the existing problems in time, and then put forward practical solutions, so that the party can always maintain self-confidence, calmness and sobriety. As a big party, the Communist Party of China has its own big appearance, but it also has big difficulties. But it is precisely because we face up to and continue to solve the big difficulties that the big appearance is more attractive and advantageous.
It is an effective way to improve the system of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. How to promote the Party's self-revolution? In the end, it is necessary to improve the effective way of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. The distinctive theme of party building in the new era is to comprehensively and strictly govern the party, and in the practice of promoting the great project of party building, a system of comprehensive and strict governance of the party has been built. The system of comprehensively and strictly administering the party is a dynamic system that is constantly developing and changing, and the great practice of taking the party's political construction as the party's fundamental construction, the ideological construction as the party's basic construction, the discipline building being incorporated into the overall layout of party building, and the system building running through all aspects of the party's construction has taken place. To improve the system of administering the party strictly in an all-round way is to constantly deepen our understanding of the law of self-revolution, so that "the century-old party will continue to radiate vigorous vitality in the course of self-revolution and always become the most reliable and strongest backbone of the Chinese people." It will become more sober and firm on the new road of catching up with the examination.
It is important to forge a strong organization and build a strong team. The party's organization is the important strength of the party, the party's team is an important guarantee for the implementation of the party's cause, and self-revolution is an important focus on forging a strong organization and building a strong team, which is the essential requirement for building the party into a stronger and more powerful force. In the face of the new journey and new tests, we will focus on improving organizational strength, highlight political functions, strengthen political beliefs with the main line of learning and implementing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhere to the party's political leadership by continuously improving political judgment, political comprehension and political execution, and take the political life of the party seriously by continuously enhancing the political, principled and combative nature of the party's political life, and consolidate the political foundation with people-centered development ideas and practical actions. By strengthening the tempering of party spirit and organizational concepts, we should forge a contingent of cadres who can stand the test. This is precisely to promote self-revolution in the forging of the organization and the construction of the ranks of party members, and the organization and party members will be stronger and more powerful in the tempering of self-revolution, so as to provide a strong organizational and cadre guarantee for the party's cause.
It is important to take the right style, discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point. Corruption is the greatest cancer that endangers the party's vitality and combat effectiveness, and the fight against corruption is the most thorough self-revolution. As long as there is the soil and conditions for the problem of corruption to arise, the anti-corruption struggle cannot be stopped for a moment, and we must constantly push forward the self-revolution in depth. Persevering in upright conduct, discipline and anti-corruption embodies the party's nature, purpose, and fine traditions, and is to resolutely struggle against all ugly and backward phenomena that shake the party's ruling foundation and hinder the party's cause, eliminate all rotten flesh that has deteriorated on the party's body, and ensure that the party will never change its quality, color, or flavor on the new journey. The party's self-revolution takes uprightness, discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point, and adheres to the strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere for a long time, so as to achieve continuous self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement, and provide an indispensable and important guarantee for the party's great cause for a thousand years.
The combination of self-supervision and people's supervision is a powerful driving force. The self-revolution is driven by the combination of self-supervision and people's supervision, which is based on the internal logical consistency between the two. In essence, both self-supervision and people's supervision are about a deep understanding of the laws governing the party for a long time; In principle, both self-supervision and people's supervision are based on "what kind of Marxist political party to build for a long time and how to build a Marxist political party for a long time." In terms of purpose, both self-supervision and people's supervision are answers to how to jump out of the historical cycle; Practically speaking, both self-supervision and people's supervision come from the summing up of experience in striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The powerful driving force generated by the combination of self-supervision and people's supervision has promoted the continuous deepening of self-revolution and ensured that the party will always be at the forefront of the times.
