In recent years, with the popularity of the TV series "I Am a High Mountain", there has once again been a wave of discussion between the "extreme left" and the "extreme right" on the Internet. These words have not only become a hot topic on the Internet, but also become a sharp weapon for some people to attack and tear each other apart, leading to the deterioration of online public opinion, becoming a catalyst for distraction, and causing fatal damage to national cohesion. This is a serious social problem that urgently needs to be paid close attention to by the official and national propaganda departments.
Looking back at history, we can find that similar phenomena have occurred many times in Chinese history. From the late Qing Dynasty, China gradually declined, especially after the Opium War, in the face of the invasion of Western powers, some people did not unite with the outside world, but became the ** of foreign powers. When the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, there were people who led the way for foreign powers to help them invade China. This internal ** led to the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the Opium Wars, which eventually led to the cession of a large amount of territory. As Sun Yat-sen said, China became fragmented. The root cause of this internal division lies in the lack of common ideas and beliefs about right and wrong, and the lack of cohesion, which is the root cause of the failure of a country.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the face of foreign aggression, why did there be so many traitors and lackeys? During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the total number of Japanese invaders was only more than one million, but the number of traitors was more than 4 million. Why is that? Because some people only care about their personal interests and completely forget about national hatred. These people only care about whether they can eat enough, and they don't care about the survival of the country. This phenomenon is extremely serious and requires us to be highly vigilant.
The Communist Party of China has achieved revolutionary success under the guidance of the ideology, and one of the important lessons is to unite forces. In the early stage of socialism, the Communist Party of China succeeded in uniting the people of the whole country and forming a tremendous force. Unity is strength, this is an undeniable truth. However, the antagonism between the "ultra-left" and the "ultra-right" that has emerged today is bound to seriously affect social progress and development. Therefore, we must clearly define the "left" and the "right", especially the "extreme left" and the "extreme right", so as not to fall into the quagmire of blind conformism.
As for how to define "ultra-left" and "ultra-right", I believe that the most fundamental criterion should be the national constitution and the party's constitution. The constitution of the Communist Party of China clearly stipulates the importance of adhering to the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, as well as adhering to the socialist system. The Constitution of the People's Republic of China also clearly stipulates that China is a socialist country and adheres to the socialist system. Therefore, any speech and action that goes beyond these two norms should be considered "far left" or far right".
On the question of the class struggle, the country's constitution clearly states that although the exploiting class has been eliminated, the class struggle will continue to exist for a long time. This means that we cannot ignore the existence of the class struggle just because the state has abolished classes. References to the class struggle should not be regarded as "ultra-left", otherwise it would be a misunderstanding of the country's constitution.
Common prosperity is the goal of the Communist Party of China and the common aspiration of all Chinese. Therefore, advocating common prosperity is by no means an "ultra-leftist" act, but is in line with the national constitution and the party's constitution.
However, in the current period of socialist construction, some people's denial of Marxism-Leninism, deviation from the socialist system, and denial of the concept of common prosperity are the real "ultra-left". We should remain vigilant in this regard.
In contrast, the far right is more harmful. The extreme right often leads directly to the regression and degradation of the country. Therefore, we must remain vigilant, unswervingly defend the country's constitution and the party's constitution, and ensure that the socialist cause advances along the correct road.
