| Mao Zedong’s collectivism thought critically inherits the overall situation view of the integration of the family and the country,the idea of great harmony with the world,the sense of responsibility of the family,the country and the world,and the harmonious realm of benevolence.Continuing the classic Marxist discourse on the social essence of human beings,emphasizing the unity of special interests and universal interests,and achieving a free association of individuals.Mao Zedong put forward the collectivism thought in order to better pool the collective strength of revolution and construction,overcome individual heroism and sectarianism,and provide ideological basis for the implementation of public ownership.Mao Zedong’s collectivism thought has profound connotation.At the level of value pursuit,it emphasizes the overall view of unity,equality,harmony,value,unity and cooperation,and forms a strong cohesive force,centripetal force and combat effectiveness in the whole party by maintaining the unity within the party and the unity between the party and the people;A view of equality without discrimination,opposing hierarchy and eliminating the idea of privilege;A fair view that takes into account the interests of the country,the collective,and individuals,and achieves the unity of national,collective,and individual interests.In terms of moral standards,adhere to Serve the People,emphasize working for the interests of the vast majority of the people,and take the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people as the starting point and foothold;Adhere to the principle of putting the interests of the people above all else;Establish a spirit of dedication that is’ wholehearted ’.At the level of ideals and beliefs,communism is regarded as the highest ideal,with the common goal of eliminating class and exploitation;Emphasizing the social construction concept of common prosperity;Always adhere to the mission of achieving human liberation.Inheriting Mao Zedong’s collectivism thought in the new era faces a series of challenges.Firstly,the pursuit of interests weakens the sense of social belonging,leading individuals to place greater emphasis on competition while neglecting overall unity,emphasizing their own interests while neglecting collective responsibility,and relying on efficiency while neglecting the principles of fairness and justice.Secondly,Western individualism attempts to undermine the social cohesion of our country from various aspects,leading to some people falling into a state of atomization and isolation,triggering conflicts and opposition in values,and separating the symbiosis between individuals and collectives.Finally,the negative effects of the media to a certain extent split the social ideological consensus,diverse information led to a reduction of attention to collectivism,a variety of positions affected the convergence of the sense of consensus of collectivism,and diverse environments led to the fragmentation of the educational field of collectivism.The new era needs to inherit Mao Zedong’s collectivism thought from the aspects of cultural construction,moral quality improvement,and public opinion guidance.First of all,we should inherit the collectivism spirit of "enhancing social synergy" through harmonious culture,inherit the thought of "righteousness before benefit",promote social sharing,carry forward the spirit of solidarity and cooperation,enhance collective synergy,and spread the concept of fairness and justice to coordinate social interests.Secondly,improve the ideological and moral quality,inherit the collectivism spirit of "highlighting moral power",improve the education of dedication spirit,enhance the sense of responsibility to society,strengthen patriotism education,improve the sense of mission to the country,and build the sense of national community with ideal and belief education.Finally,strengthen the guidance of public opinion to inherit the collectivism spirit of "gathering ideological consensus",build ideological and political media to gather social attention of collectivism,adhere to the party’s management of media to build the ideological consensus of collectivism,and purify the public opinion environment to improve the educational field of collectivism. |
