Research On Engels’ Proletarian Party Political Construction Thought And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

Political nature is the fundamental attribute of political parties,and political construction is the basic construction of political parties.Under the circumstances of fierce class struggle,mixed wrong thoughts and complex international environment,Engels guided the proletarian political party to carry out political construction and formed the rich proletarian political construction thought.This thought reveals the general law of the political construction of the proletarian party and is the action guide for the practice of the political construction of the proletarian party all over the world.In the new era,the systematic study and reference of Engels’ proletarian party political construction thought is helpful for our Party to further promote the new great project of Party building in the new era,to comprehensively build a modern socialist country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Engels thought of proletarian party political construction is the product of history.In the 19 th century,with the rapid development of capitalist economy,the proletariat grew and the labor movement rose one after another.These objective realities laid the economic foundation and class foundation for the formation of Engels’ proletarian party political thought.In addition to the shaping of the objective environment,the formation of Engels’ proletarian party political construction thought also has a deep ideological origin,including the reference to the Utopian socialist proletarian unity thought,the critical absorption of the bourgeois party construction thought and the summary of the practice of workers’ organization construction,and inevitably influenced by Marx’s proletarian party political construction thought.Engels’ proletarian party political construction thought has a clear development course.By observing the political parties of various classes in Britain,examining the miserable fate of workers and thinking about the workers’ movement,Engels began to realize the historical inevitability of establishing proletarian political parties and the importance of building proletarian political parties,and his thought of building proletarian political parties began to sprouting.With his participation in founding and guiding the construction of the Communist League,Engels gradually clarified the "party spirit" of the proletarian party,the basic content of the party program and the principle of implementing democracy within the party,and his thoughts on the construction of the proletarian party politics gradually took shape.In the process of guiding the construction of the international Workers’ Association,in the face of the changing international and domestic environment,Engels believed that each country should establish the proletarian party in line with the national reality,emphasized that the political party should maintain independence and revolution,and draw a clear line with the bourgeoisie faction,promoting the development of his proletarian party political construction thought.In his later years,Engels put forward corresponding measures to deal with the phenomenon of Marxism dogmatism,contradictions and differences in political parties and the sudden increase in the number of people joining proletarian political parties,and realized the perfection of his thought of party political construction.Engels’ thought of proletarian party political construction is a complete system with rich content,which is mainly embodied in four aspects: ensuring political direction,ensuring centralization and democracy,enhancing political ability and maintaining the vitality of political parties.In order to ensure the political direction,Engels advocated adhering to the scientific guiding ideology,formulating the correct party program,adhering to the class position of the proletarian party,and making a clear line with the bourgeoisie faction.On the guarantee of centralization and democracy,Engels advocated not only maintaining the authority and centralization of political parties,but also implementing intra-party democracy,and believed that the two are complementary dialectical relationship.In terms of improving political ability,Engels advocated improving the political ability of Party organizations and cadres at all levels and giving full play to the advantages of the perfect system,so as to promote the political ability of the party.In order to maintain the vitality of the party,Engels emphasized the importance of serious style and observance of discipline for the proletarian party,and proposed to take the corresponding supervision mechanism as the guarantee.In the new era,it is of great practical significance and value to study Engels’ thought of proletarian party political construction in depth.First,we must adhere to the guidance of Marxism in China and The Times,and use this as an ideological weapon to strengthen our ideals and beliefs,enhance our theoretical confidence,and maintain theoretical consciousness.Second,we must strengthen the Party’s political leadership,take democratic centralism as the organizational principle,promote intra-party democracy,safeguard the party’s authority and centralized and unified leadership,and safeguard the authority of party leaders.Third,we must enhance the political capacity of the Party,with the construction of party members and cadres as the starting point,and improve the political judgment,political understanding and political execution of party members and cadres.Fourth,we need to create a positive and clean political environment within the Party,focus on building political discipline,improve the legal system,optimize the oversight mechanism,and develop a positive and healthy political culture within the party.
