I. The Basic Connotation of the Party’s Self-Revolution
The concepts of revolution and self-revolution. Revolution means to change; destiny means heavenly destiny. Revolution can be classified as “self-revolution”, “revolution of others”, “social revolution”, etc. Marxism believes that revolution is the inevitable product of the intensification of class contradictions, conflicts and confrontations in class society, as well as an important way and means to resolve class contradictions and social contradictions. It is the highest action of political struggle in class society.
In a general sense, self-revolution refers to a proactive transformation behavior of a specific subject to self-awareness, self-reflection, self-denial and self-transcendence.
The connotation of the party’s self-revolution.
On May 5, 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping used the concept of “self-revolution” for the first time in his speech at the 12th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, emphasizing that “we must consciously obey the overall situation of reform, serve the overall situation of reform, have the courage to self-revolution, dare to face problems, and work together to do a good job in comprehensively deepening reform.”
In a narrow sense, our party’s self-revolution mainly includes three meanings:
Firstly, carry forward the spirit of self-reform, have the courage to break through the obstacles of ideas and concepts, and have the courage to break through the barriers of established interests.
Secondly, have the consciousness to face problems and the courage to turn the knife inward, and thoroughly eradicate the cancer of the party’s body and the various prominent problems it faces.
Thirdly, realize the party’s self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement. In a broad sense, the party’s self-revolution is related to party building and strict party governance, and also includes the party’s political, ideological, organizational, style, discipline, institutional revolution and innovation, as well as in-depth anti-corruption struggle.
