| From the beginning of its birth,the police exists to safeguard the rule of the ruling class.Marx and Engels’ theory of the State analyzed the role of the police in class struggle,revealed the origin of the police,demonstrated the dialectical unity of the class and sociality of the police,criticized the police under the capitalist system to the proletarian legitimate rights and laws,and pointed out that the police will eventually perish with the disappearance of the class and the demise of the state.In the practice of the new democratic revolution and socialist revolution led by the Communist Party of China,it has fully absorbed the spirit of Marx and Engels’ relevant treatises on the police,and inherited Marx and Engels’ views that the police is a state machine to maintain state rule,that the police is a unity of class and society,and that the police must carry out their work according to law.It develops Marx and Engels’ view that police work serves the people,opens up a new field of police team construction,and establishes a police law enforcement supervision system.A force of proletarian police,guided by Marxism,was formed to represent the will of the Party and the people,to carry out dictatorship against hostile forces,safeguard the newly born people’s power and consolidate the achievements of the socialist revolution.Since the reform and opening up,the overall economic level of our country has been developing rapidly,and the functional focus of the police has gradually shifted from class struggle to service economy construction.In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,building a great modern socialist country in an all-round way has become the central task of our Party.The people’s yearning for a better life contains their spiritual needs for the rule of law,freedom,democracy,fairness and justice,and the police work has also established a people-centered work purpose.In the face of the complicated domestic and international situation in the new era,the Communist Party of China constantly combines the relevant discourse of Marx and Engels on the police with the actual situation of China,carries forward the fine quality of keeping pace with The Times of Marxism,continues to strengthen the political position,optimize the function of the police,improve the level of the rule of law,and organically combines the police work with the construction of a socialist country under the rule of law. |
