w88 login nihilism once competed with the mainstream ideology of Marxism for several times and then eclipsed it and gradually declined. In recent years, w88 login nihilism has resurfaced and has a tendency to rise and spread. Not only is it an undercurrent in academia, appearing and disappearing, but it has also begun to expand its main battlefield from the academic field to the Internet and new media and other fields. In fact, w88 login nihilism is not "nihility", but is specifically expressed as "something is nihilistic, and something is not nihilistic." It achieves its political demands by borrowing ancient metaphors from the present, and denies reform and opening up and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, in order to achieve comprehensive Westernization. To deal with the erroneous ideological trend and erroneous tendency of w88 login nihilism, we must see the essence through the phenomenon, fully understand its harm, and give a strong counterattack with a scientific view of history.
1. w88 login nihilism is an anti-Marxist trend
w88 login nihilism has not been "nihilistic" since its birth. Nihilism first emerged in18The German ideological circle at the end of the century was formed under the background that Germany, as a late-developing country, had no choice but to choose a new way out in the face of the industrialization success of Britain, France and other countries. Its value goal was to try to use an idealist worldview to change Germany's backwardness. German thinkers of this period, from Jacobi, Fichte, Hegel, Stirner, Nietzsche to Heidegger, all believed that the existence of religion was the fundamental cause of Germany's backwardness. Stirner's "nothing" that denies all gods and Nietzsche's "God is dead" are both classic expressions of nihilism. After w88 login nihilism was introduced to Russia, Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" clearly demonstrated the viewpoint of w88 login nihilism in the form of a novel. Turgenev not only denied the existence value of art and religion, but also wanted to completely destroy Russian traditional values and traditional order.
Chinese Marxists ruthlessly criticized w88 login nihilism from the beginning. Around the May Fourth Movement, Chen Duxiu once criticized "Russian nihilism and German metaphysical philosophy" and wrote in his article "Nihilism": "I have pitiful young people with naive minds who believe that nihilism that does not involve all negation cannot be regarded as the noblest and most thorough. ... I dare to say that the thought of nihilism has been the root of China's disease for many years and is a crisis in the current ideological world."20Century30In the 1990s, w88 login nihilists proposed "total Westernization" and "full globalization". Since then, w88 login nihilism has been closely associated with all-out Westernization, and continues to this day. After the October Revolution, Marxism was introduced into China and gradually became the guiding ideology of China's revolution and construction, and w88 login nihilism subsequently lost its influence.20Century90In the 1990s, the international communist movement entered a low ebb, and w88 login nihilism rose again after proposing the theory of "farewell to the revolution".
In recent years, reform and opening up has entered a critical stage, requiring new theoretical exploration. w88 login nihilists have once again resurrected. Politically, they put forward the "theory of Marxism's obsolescence" and "theory of the immaturity of communism", and regarded the development path of Western society as the "right way of the world"; economically, they used neoliberal Western economic theory to deny the socialist economic system with Chinese characteristics; culturally, they advocated comprehensive Westernization and denied the core values of socialism.
w88 login nihilism is an idealist view of history, which is opposite to the Marxist materialist view of history. In the name of w88 login research, w88 login nihilists dig out tributary issues of history out of context from the perspective of an idealist view of history, and even fabricate w88 login facts to give people a sense of novelty, subtly influence some people who do not know what they are doing, and impact mainstream ideology. w88 login nihilism cloaked in academic guise is even more confusing. Whether tracing the origins of w88 login nihilism or in-depth analysis of its realistic manifestations, it shows that w88 login nihilism is not just a purely academic issue, but has a clear value orientation and strong ideological attributes.
2. w88 login nihilism constantly changes its form to express its demands
w88 login nihilism was originally a social trend mainly limited to academia. It used "academic no-limits area" and "academic democracy" to spread its erroneous theories and erroneous views and confuse the public. It is concentrated in the use of academic research as a cover to deny the mainstream views of modern Chinese history, especially the history of the Communist Party of China. In recent years, w88 login nihilism has expanded from the field of academic research to fields such as the Internet and new media, and from the intellectual class to the general public. It has been fabricated in vulgar and unbearable forms to attract attention. Its influence is expanding day by day, and its methods are more diverse. Although w88 login nihilism comes in many forms, it remains true to its roots, which are nothing more than the following expressions:
First, treat the tributaries as the mainstream. The most important manifestation of w88 login nihilism is to use tributaries to deny the mainstream, use points to cover areas, and use one tendency to deny another tendency. w88 login nihilism opposes the study of w88 login laws and does not pay attention to the analysis and study of the mainstream and w88 login facts of history. Instead, it uses partial generalizations, selects fragmented w88 login stories at will, and cuts them arbitrarily. Through "some things are nihilistic and some are not nihilistic", it achieves its true purpose of denying China's revolution and construction, and negating reform and opening up.
Second, take the default as the premise. The usual method of w88 login nihilism is to use "hypotheses" to deny w88 login facts and "reconstruct history." w88 login nihilists have put forward a series of "hypotheses": "What if the May Fourth Movement did not happen", "What if China did not participate in the Korean War", "What if the Communist Party was not in power". In fact, w88 login research can only be based on objective w88 login facts and will not be based on "hypotheses". There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people. Studying history with "hypotheses" not only loses objectivity, but also provides opportunities for those who fish in troubled waters.
Third, treat romance as history. "Romance" is actually "a perfunctory interpretation based on w88 login facts" and belongs to the category of literary works. There is nothing wrong with the fiction of literary works. For example, most of the plots of "The Romance of the Gods" are fictional, and the influence of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is far greater than that of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". w88 login nihilists take advantage of the general public's lack of understanding of academic research, seek basis from w88 login novels, and disseminate erroneous theories and erroneous views through self-media and the Internet. They have confused many readers and netizens, causing widespread harm and must be taken seriously.
Fourth, treat the gossip as truth. In today's society, popular culture is prevalent, and "gossip" culture has a huge market. w88 login nihilism borrows the new form of entertainment and flattening in the new media era, not only fabricating novel materials, but also raising various questions in a serious manner. In recent years, it has been spread that "Sister Jiang is a second wife", and even the story of Sister Jiang pricking bamboo sticks on her fingers is a fictional story, pointing out that this is not in line with people's "biological common sense", but ignores the great faith and strong will of the Communists. Liu Hulan, who was praised by Mao Zedong as "the greatness of life and the glory of death",15She gave up her young and precious life at the age of 19240_19284|, yet some people indiscriminately fabricated the story that "Liu Hulan was the mistress".
Fifth, make pranks fashionable. There is nothing wrong with pursuing fashion, but pursuing pranks as fashion undoubtedly contains evil intentions. The common practice of w88 login nihilism is to mock nobleness through fashion, ridicule, sensationalize, confuse right and wrong, and confuse right and wrong.2015Year419876_19987
3. We must use a scientific view of history to resist w88 login nihilism
A scientific view of history helps to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. As a correct view of history, w88 login materialism reveals that the basic contradictions of human society are the fundamental driving force for w88 login development, and provides us with an ideological line for correctly understanding social phenomena and the laws of social and w88 login development. According to the perspective of w88 login materialism, the development of history does not depend on human subjective consciousness, but has its own specific laws. The subject of history is the people. w88 login materialism believes that social existence determines social consciousness, adheres to class analysis methods, respects objective laws, is faithful to w88 login facts, and analyzes specific issues in detail. As an idealist view of history, w88 login nihilism often starts from subjective wishes and generalizes. Its methodology is sophistical, absurd and logically confusing. "If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history; if you want to destroy your clan, you must first destroy its culture." All history is contemporary history. To adhere to w88 login materialism to resist w88 login nihilism, we must start from the following aspects:
First, use the w88 login views of dialectical materialism and w88 login materialism to study history and reality comprehensively, systematically, and developmentally. This requires not only providing a relaxed environment for w88 login research, but also presenting the real history in a form that the people like to hear and see. True history means correcting people's hearts. On the one hand, we must criticize w88 login nihilism mercilessly and expose its true demands; on the other hand, we must resolutely put an end to the past forms of propaganda with outdated content and rigid forms, and leave no room for w88 login nihilism to survive.
Second, adhere to the guidance of Marxism, comprehensively summarize and absorb the excellent culture of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and serve the reform and opening up and the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Regarding China's excellent culture, Mao Zedong once pointed out: "From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, we should summarize it and inherit this precious legacy." Xi Jinping also clearly pointed out: "We are not w88 login nihilists, nor are we cultural nihilists. We cannot forget our ancestors and belittle ourselves." Adhering to the core socialist values must give a strong response to w88 login nihilist views such as "theory that aggression is meritorious" and "Chinese civilization comes from the West."
Third, we must not only practice hard on our internal strength and do our own thing well, but also prevent the erosion of decadent Western ideas and the infiltration of hostile forces. After the end of the Cold War, former U.S. President Richard Nixon once proposed that capitalism "wins without a fight" and tried to evolve peacefully. "The seeds of dissatisfaction sown will one day bloom into the flowers of peaceful evolution." Recently, w88 login nihilists have revived the "end of history" view that even founder Fukuyama had abandoned, which shows their good intentions. For this reason, we must be warned that some w88 login nihilists may consciously or unconsciously play the role of the "fifth column."
Fourth, adhere to the "three self-confidences" such as road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence, and system self-confidence, and establish correct ideals and beliefs. The reason why w88 login nihilists dare to ridicule Marxism as a "fashion" and a gimmick is precisely because some Communists also believe that "communism is a vain fantasy" and have begun to "not ask the people but ghosts and gods." As everyone knows, the lack of firm communist beliefs among Communist Party members, especially the party’s leading cadres, also provides ideological space for the existence and development of w88 login nihilism.
Fifth, we must pay full attention to the extreme importance of ideology. We must not only guide w88 login research to adhere to the guidance of w88 login materialism, but also urge and guide the Internet and new media to adopt self-discipline behaviors to prevent the recurrence of things like distorting history and vilifying heroes. At the same time, we must arouse scholars to launch a powerful criticism of w88 login nihilism, and educate young people to study history seriously and understand history correctly. Leading organs must firmly hold "the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in their hands."
