A Study On The Trade Union Theory Of The Communist Party Of China In The Period Of New Democratic Revolution

Since its birth,the Communist Party of China always attaches importance to the workers’ movement and treats the trade union cause as an extremely important issue.The CPC had combined Marxist trade union theory with the practice of trade union work and the workers’ movement during the New Democratic Revolution to form a series of strategic guidelines and theoretical policies.The theory of trade unions of the CPC during the New Democratic Revolution was an important ideological and theoretical achievement formed in the process of the Sinicization of Marxism,and was an important part of the Sinicized Marxist theory of trade unions.The scientific study of the theory of trade unions of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution is an essential part of the study of Chinese Marxism.This topic takes the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution as the main object of research.The study of this topic has important academic values and practical significances.At the theoretical level,it helps to correctly grasp the history of the development of the CPC’s trade union theory,and to appreciate the relationship between the inheritance and development of the CPC’s trade union theory and Marxist-Leninist trade union theory.At the practical level,it provides historical references for the practice of the Chinese workers’ movement in the new era,and provides necessary references for trade union construction and decision-making.The study of this topic covers the theoretical origins,practical basis,evolutionary process,main contents and basic features,value implications and practical inspiration of the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the Democratic Revolution.The text is divided into three parts: the introduction,the body and the conclusion.In the introductory part,the origin and basis of the topic,the value and significance of the research,the current status of research on trade union-related issues in the academic and theoretical fields at home and abroad,and the research ideas and methods are mainly explained.The main text consists of five chapters.The first chapter traces and clarifies the ideological and theoretical origins of the CPC’s trade union theory during the New Democratic Revolution.It is argued that the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution was based on the important expositions on the working class and trade union work by the classic Marxist writers Marx,Engels and Lenin,and was the inevitable result of the combination of Marxist trade union theory and the practice of the Chinese workers’ movement.Chapter 2 sets out the practical basis for the formation and development of the CPC’s trade union theory during the New Democratic Revolution.The CPC’s active founding of revolutionary trade unions and its series of revolutionary struggles against the reactionary laid the practical foundation for the formation and development of the CPC’s trade union theory.The trade union theory of the Party during the New Democratic Revolution originated from the struggles of the Chinese workers’ movement,returned to practice to guide the Chinese workers’ movement,proved its truth in the practice of the Chinese workers’ movement and continued to be enriched and developed.Chapter 3 clarifies and sorts out the formation and development of the trade union ideology of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution in accordance with historical and logical clues,which is an inevitable part of the study for a complete and accurate grasp of the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution.At different stages in the history of the New Democratic Revolution,the CPC put forward many theoretical principles and views on trade union issues.The trade union theory of the Communist Party of China had undergone a process of continuous development and improvement.It was conceived at the time of the founding of the CPC and during the period of Great Revolution,was basically formed during the Agrarian Revolutionary War,continued to develop during the Total Resistance against Japanese Aggression and matured during the Liberation War.Chapter 4 examines the quintessential content and core elements of the CPC’s trade union ideology during the New Democratic Revolution,distils and summarises the consistent ideological ideas and propositions put forward by the Communist Party of China around the workers’ movement and trade union work during the New Democratic Revolution,and then analyses the basic features of the CPC’s trade union theory during the Democratic Revolution.Chapter 5 analyses the value implications of the CPC’s trade union theory during the New Democratic Revolution and its realistic enlightenments for furthering the building of trade unions in China in the new era.One of the objectives of studying and researching the trade union theory formed and constructed by the CPC during the New Democratic Revolution is to perpetuate the Party’s excellent tradition of consistently attaching importance to trade union work and to better serve the Party’s cause with the unique advantages of trade unions.The painstaking exploration of the trade union cause by the CPC during the New Democratic Revolution and its outstanding achievements in theory and practice,especially the trade union principles and working methods contained therein,are of great inspiration for the development of the trade union cause in the new era in China,and provide useful supports for the innovation of trade union work and the construction of harmonious labour relations in the new era.The conclusion section summarises the whole text.The thesis mainly has the following tentative innovations and theoretical perspectives: Firstly,it is argued that the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution was based on the trade union theory of Marx,Engels,Lenin and other classical writers as its ideological sources.Secondly,it is argued that the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution was a process of gradual formation.In the course of the study,the author insists on using historical materials as the basis for theories and analyses,and combines history and theory to focus on analysing and sorting out the formation process of the trade union theory of the Communist Party of China during the New Democratic Revolution,dividing its development and evolution into four stages,namely the period of conception and germination,the period of basic formation,the period of continued development and the period of increasing maturity.Thirdly,it summarises the main contents of the CPC’s trade union theory during the New Democratic Revolution in a more objective and comprehensive manner,arguing that the CPC’s trade union theory during the New Democratic Revolution was rich in content and that its core elements included the orientation of the nature of trade union,trade union mobilisation,rights protection by trade union,trade union education,trade union united front and trade union construction.On the basis of a systematic examination and analysis of the trade union theory of the CPC during the New Democratic Revolution,a distillation and summary of its theoretical qualities and basic features is made,and it is concluded that the trade union theory of the CPC during the New Democratic Revolution was a unity of theory and practice,inheritance and creativity,and unity of stages and wholeness.
