Maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members Building Harmony College
College of Continuing Education Xie Yibin
The proposing of the strategic task of building a harmonious socialist society reflects the new expansion of our party’s understanding of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It shows that with the development of my country's economy and society, the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has become more clearly developed from the trinity of socialist economic construction, political construction, and cultural construction to the four-in-one socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, and social construction. Building a harmonious society is a social system project involving various fields such as economy, politics, and culture.
In the activities of maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members, during the critical period when the w88 casino of Continuing Education, the w88 casino of Distance Education, and the College of Higher Vocational Education were integrated and the strategic transition and a new round of competitive recruitment were officially launched, the college clearly put forward the new proposition of "maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college." Correctly understanding the theoretical and practical issues in the construction of a harmonious society, correctly understanding the theoretical and practical issues in the construction of a harmonious college, and clarifying vague understandings are of great significance for enhancing the consciousness of all Communist Party members and the broad masses of cadres and the masses in building a harmonious college.
1. The new concept of “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college” and its great significance
The "Decision" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stated that one of the goals of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way is to "make society more harmonious" and to "strive to create a situation in which all people can do their best, have their place and live in harmony." At a critical period when the domestic and international situation has undergone profound changes and my country's reform and development has entered a new stage, the new concept of "building a socialist harmonious society" is clearly proposed, requiring the whole party to "adapt to the profound changes in our society and place the construction of a harmonious society in an important position", "continuously improve the ability to build a socialist harmonious society", and "lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to achieve national prosperity, national rejuvenation, social harmony, and people's happiness."
A harmonious society is composed of harmonious social cells, which of course includes schools, including our college. Last year, w88 casino of Continuing Education celebrated its tenth anniversary. It should be said that these ten years have been about advancing with the times, constantly meeting social needs, serving the national development strategy, and constantly innovating the form of continuing education. The college has initially formed the brand characteristics of economic and w88 continuing education with serving the society as its responsibility, talent demand as the guide, resource integration as the basis, standardized management as the guarantee, and w88 casino-running efficiency as the basis for development. It has achieved certain successful experience and good social and economic benefits. Facing the new situation, the strategic transformation we decisively proposed has ushered in the integration of the three colleges into one. Taking the opportunity of educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, we proposed a new concept of "maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college", which is of great significance.
First of all, it keeps pace with the times and is consistent with the current "four-in-one" direction of the construction and development of the motherland.The overall layout of my country's socialist modernization construction has expanded from the "trinity" of developing socialist market economy (material civilization), socialist democracy (political civilization) and socialist advanced culture (spiritual civilization) to the "four-in-one" including a socialist harmonious society. Such an expansion in strategic layout is another major breakthrough and innovation in the development of socialist theory.
Secondly, it keeps pace with the times and is consistent with the current fundamental philosophy of our party’s governance.The proposal of "harmonious society" has brought about a major change in the fundamental concept of our party's governance, marking that our party has changed from being good at destroying the old world to being good at building a new world; from "revolution for the people" to "governing for the people"; from using class as a "social screening mechanism" to "social incentive mechanism"; from "struggle philosophy" to "harmony philosophy". These major changes will surely make the theory and practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics more concrete and full, more humane, rational and realistic, and become another guideline for our country to update its system and inspire people to forge ahead.
Thirdly, it keeps pace with the times and is consistent with the core link of adhering to the implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development."Harmonious society" is the core link in the implementation of the people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable scientific development concept proposed by the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee. It has very important theoretical and practical significance for us to integrate social forces, coordinate the interests of all parties, reduce social conflicts, maintain social stability, consolidate the party's ruling status, and promote economic development and social progress.
2. The main basis for “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college”
What is the main basis for the new concept of “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college”? We can cite at least four here.
First, it is an urgent need to build a well-off society in an all-round way and promote the leap-forward development of the college.Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, my country's economic strength and comprehensive national strength have been significantly enhanced. Reforms in the economy, politics, and culture have made major historic breakthroughs. People's living standards have greatly improved, and have generally reached a moderately prosperous level. The construction of socialist democratic politics, the construction of spiritual civilization, and various undertakings have all developed comprehensively, and achieved world-renowned achievements. However, the level of moderate prosperity we have achieved is still low, incomplete, and development is very unbalanced. The contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production is still the main contradiction in our society. “Over the years, while our country has experienced rapid economic development, it has also accumulated many contradictions and problems. The main ones are that the urban-rural gap, regional gap, and residents’ income gap have continued to expand. The pressure on employment and social security has increased. The development of social undertakings such as education, health, and culture has lagged behind. The contradiction between population growth and economic development and the ecological environment and natural resources has intensified. The economic growth model has fallen behind. The overall quality of the economy is low and competition is low. We must attach great importance to these problems and cannot avoid them. They must be solved gradually and cannot be allowed to develop. "At the same time, our society is also facing the historical task of "double transformation". It must not only realize the modernization that developed countries have already experienced, but also create a new type of socialist modernization; it must not only transform from a traditional society to a modern society, but also realize the special mission entrusted by socialism through modernization. This urgently requires us to adjust the strategic layout of modernization, achieve a major change in governing concepts, and build a socialist harmonious society to consolidate the social foundation of the ruling party and realize the tasks of the ruling party.
Second, it is a reference and absorption of the experience of international modernization construction and modern w88 casino running.The law of the world's modernization development process shows that during the development stage when a country's per capita GDP is from US$1,000 to US$3,000, as variables such as economic development, social structure, and interest relationships increase, conflicts, frictions, and impacts will increase, and various social trends of thought will also violently agitate. Some scholars summarize it as: "a critical period when the economy is prone to imbalance, society is prone to disorder, psychology is prone to imbalance, and social ethics need to be adjusted and reconstructed." If the leaders of the party and the country fully understand this and take effective precautions, they can make this period a "golden development period." On the contrary, it will become a "period of prominent contradictions", which may even lead to turmoil and twists and turns. We are currently in such a critical period. In order to avoid possible social problems, consolidate the results of reform, and promote sustainable economic development, we must take precautions, respect and grasp the laws of modern development, include building a harmonious socialist society on the important agenda, and strive to achieve coordinated development of our country's economy and society.
Third, this is the proper meaning of socialist theory, this isThe construction of colleges and universities and the development of continuing education in the 21st century are what they should be.Fourier, the French utopian socialist who wrote "Harmony throughout the World" (1803), the first modern Westerner, believed that the existing unreasonable and unfair system would be replaced by a new "harmonious system" or "harmonious society". In 1842, in his book "The Guarantee of Harmony and Freedom", the utopian socialist Weitling called capitalism a "sick society" and socialism directly as a "harmonious and free" society. He believed that the "harmony" of the new society was not "personal harmony" but "whole harmony." Marx critically absorbed the useful ideas in the utopian socialist theory and envisioned a future harmonious social model of the "union of free men". Marx and Engels clearly stated in the "Communist Manifesto": "What will replace the old bourgeois society where classes and class antagonisms exist will be a union where the free development of each person is the condition for the free development of all people." Marx's expression of "the union of free people" or "a society with the comprehensive and free development of people" undoubtedly refers to an advanced harmonious society. We are now in the primary stage of socialism, which is the process of moving towards a society with comprehensive and free development of people. To build a harmonious socialist society is to gradually turn Marx's ideal of scientific socialism into reality. This is exactly the persistence and development of scientific socialism.
Fourth, this is the inheritance and promotion of the excellent traditions of the Chinese nation.In my country’s excellent culture and philosophical thought, there has always been a strong concept of harmony and a longing for a harmonious social state. The "Book of Changes" said "to achieve harmony", Confucius said "to achieve neutrality", "gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are homogeneous but not harmonious", Taoism advocated "harmony of differences to become the same", "the relationship between heaven and man, merge into one" contained in "Chun Qiu Fan Lu", and Zhang Zai's straightforward expression of "the unity of nature and man", etc., all show that the concept of harmony has always been an important embodiment of the excellent tradition of the Chinese nation. In China's rich philosophical cognition, "noble harmony", "symbiosis", "double fortune" and "harmony" are similar categories. Proposing a new concept of building a harmonious socialist society just shows that we have always insisted on carrying forward and cultivating the great spirit of the Chinese nation.
To sum up, the new concept of building a harmonious socialist society is proposed, which is a major adjustment of the strategic layout of socialist modernization on the basis of summarizing the experience and lessons of the modernization construction of our country and other international countries, a major sublimation of the governing concept, and a further expansion and deepening of the understanding of the contemporary issues of "what is socialism and how to build socialism" and "what kind of party to build and how to build this party." The new concept of "maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college" is proposed during the strategic transition period of our college. Summarizing the past spirit of "working together, seeking innovation, selfless struggle, and selfless dedication" in the college, we will further expand and deepen our understanding of "what is a harmonious college, what kind of harmonious college to build, and how to build a harmonious college", which is related to the transition and development plan of the college.
3. The basic idea of “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college”
What should the harmonious college we build at this stage of "maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college" look like? How to build it? In this regard, we refer to the overall discussion made in the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the "Decision" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, that is, the harmonious college we want to build is "a new college where everyone does his best, everyone gets his place and lives in harmony." This is an overall description of our current stage of “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college.” It can also be said to be the three specific measures for us to build a harmonious college. Here I will give a detailed elaboration and explanation respectively:
"From each according to his or her ability" means giving full play to the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of all party members and the broad masses of cadres and the masses, that is, each subject, and cannot suppress it.This is in terms of the motivation and vitality of the development of the college. To this end, it is necessary to continuously stimulate the vitality of the college, fully implement the policy of respecting labor, respecting knowledge, respecting talents, and respecting creation, further deepening reforms, promoting transition, updating concepts, and resolutely breaking down all obstacles that hinder and constrain the vitality of the college in terms of systems, systems, and mechanisms, so that all creative aspirations that are conducive to the progress and development of the college are respected, creative activities are supported, creative talents are exerted, and creative achievements are affirmed. The vitality of all labor, knowledge, technology, management, and capital bursts out, and all sources of social wealth are fully flowing.
“Everyone gets what he deserves” refers to the party members and the broad masses of cadres and the masses, that is, each subject can enjoy the rights and interests that he deserves, and cannot be indifferent to it.With the development of reform and opening up and the socialist market economy, social and economic components, organizational forms, employment methods, interest relationships and distribution methods have become increasingly diversified. The rights and interest relationships of various social subjects have also become increasingly complex, and the gap is widening. This requires us to promote fairness and justice in the college (fairness and justice are important signs of social civilization and progress. Equality of opportunity is an important manifestation of social fairness and justice, and a crucial condition for achieving social harmony), enhance the legal awareness and integrity awareness of the entire college, care for and help vulnerable groups in the college, and conscientiously solve specific and practical problems such as jobs and social security.
"Harmonious coexistence" refers to the party members and the broad masses of cadres and the masses in the hospital, who must vigorously promote the good customs of unity, mutual assistance, poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation throughout the hospital, and form an equal, friendly, harmonious and harmonious interpersonal environment.The most important thing is to properly handle the interest relationships between different positions, different departments, different positions, and different groups, so that when each subject pursues its own interests, it does not harm the interests of other subjects, or it cannot realize its own interests in a way that harms the interests of other subjects. This requires us to properly coordinate the interests of all parties and correctly handle internal conflicts within the college; strengthen the construction and management of the college and promote innovation in the management system; improve the working mechanism and maintain the stability of the college; adhere to the party's mass line and strengthen and improve mass work under the new situation.
These three specific standards have different focuses, but they all run through a red line, which is to adhere to the people-oriented approach and achieve the all-round development of the college, cadres and employees. Engels said that everything people strive for is for their own interests. Adhering to a people-oriented approach means respecting people, caring for people, liberating people, and developing people. We must always maintain, realize, and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and foothold of all work, and constantly meet people's diverse needs and promote people's all-round development.
4. Main features of “maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members and building a harmonious college”
1. People-oriented, the comprehensive development of the college and its cadres and employees, and the creation of a college whose vitality is fully exerted;
2. A college that regards fairness and justice as its core value orientation and where the interests of all parties are constantly and effectively coordinated;
3. A college with sound systems and orderly management that minimizes management costs and social risks as much as possible;
4. Rely on the joint efforts of all cadres and employees of the college to continuously deepen reforms, promote transition, reform certain aspects and links of the superstructure that are not suitable for the development of the college, and establish and improve the system, culture and other aspects of the college that are suitable for the development of the college.
5. To “maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members and build a harmonious college”, we must correctly handle five major relationships
First, correctly handle the relationship between economic benefits and social benefits, and fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development.The goal of building a harmonious college is comprehensive and systematic. It cannot be isolated. It must focus on social benefits and follow the requirements of "producing more talents and producing good talents" to promote the realization of the college's goal of cultivating talents. At the same time, economic benefits are the basis for the development of the college, and economic benefits are an important purpose and powerful guarantee for the development of the college. Just like a country, technology is a multiplier for economic development, education is tomorrow's economy, and culture is the cradle of development, the invisible head of a nation. It is impossible to ignore any of these aspects.
The second is to correctly handle the relationship between activating the vitality of the college and maintaining its stability, so as to create a good external environment and internal atmosphere for strategic transition.Not only through reform, the creative vitality of each unit, department, and subject of the college is activated, and the vitality of all labor, knowledge, technology, management, and capital is allowed to burst out, so that all sources of social wealth can fully flow, but also the intensity of reform, the speed of development, and the degree of endurance of the college are unified, and the harmony and stability of the college order is sought while maintaining vitality and vitality. Attach great importance to and properly resolve conflicts caused by interest adjustments during reforms to avoid intensification of conflicts.
The third is to correctly handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness, and between getting rich first and getting rich together.Achieving common prosperity and social equity are the two cornerstones of building a harmonious society. It is necessary to deepen reforms and improve the market system, improve resource allocation and utilization efficiency, and maintain social equity in secondary distribution through macro-control. It is necessary to reflect labor differences and different values, and to prevent polarization. While accelerating development, it is necessary to put the maintenance of fairness in the college in a more prominent position, comprehensively use financial, legal aid and other means to gradually establish a college fairness guarantee mechanism that meets the goals of Harmony College and focuses on fair rights, fair opportunities, fair rules, fair distribution and humanitarian fairness, so that all cadres and employees of the college can share the fruits of development.
The fourth is to correctly handle the relationship between administrative management and college self-management.While further improving the management efficiency of the party branch and the college, we should be good at forming the overall synergy of college management through w88 union meetings, branch meetings, faculty representative meetings, etc. There is a complementary and interactive relationship between the market, colleges and mass organizations.
The fifth is to correctly handle the relationship between giving full play to traditional political advantages and innovating mass work mechanisms, and strengthen and improve mass work under the new situation.To correctly handle the internal contradictions in the college under the new situation, we must not only give full play to the organizational advantages of the party organization’s close contact with the people, but also give full play to the traditional political advantages of ideological and political work. We must also pay attention to innovating the operating mechanism of mass work and establishing a set of mechanisms to ensure that our party We must always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, and always realize, safeguard and develop long-term mechanisms for the fundamental interests of the people, such as public opinion communication mechanisms, effective conflict resolution mechanisms, service mechanisms that are convenient and beneficial to the people, fair judicial mechanisms, complete supervision mechanisms and strict accountability mechanisms, etc.
6. To “maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members and build a harmonious college”, we must pay special attention to understanding three issues
First, harmony is not a peaceful atmosphere.Social harmony is an important condition for promoting economic, political, and cultural development and improving people's living standards. It is an important feature of socialist society and embodies the essential requirements of socialism. However, harmony is not without contradictions, and a harmonious society is not a paradise. Similarly, if the college wants to develop, contradictions will always accompany it. The development process of human society is a dynamic process of constantly generating and resolving contradictions. For the college to develop and progress, it means constantly breaking the original "harmony" and forming a new harmony at a higher level. Therefore, harmony is a state achieved on the basis of acknowledging contradictions and constantly resolving them. At present, with the development of my country's socialist market economy, the changes in my country's social organization form, employment structure, and social structure are accelerating. Social interest subjects are becoming increasingly diversified, social interest relationships are more complex, and many outstanding contradictions and problems have emerged that need to be resolved urgently. To build a harmonious society is to properly resolve various contradictions, coordinate interest relationships, and establish and improve mechanisms to continuously resolve contradictions and resolve conflicts, including smooth social mobility mechanisms, reasonable interest coordination mechanisms, safe social security mechanisms, and effective conflict resolution mechanisms, so that all members of society can do their best, get their place, and live in harmony.
Second, fairness is not egalitarianism.Maintaining and realizing fairness in the college involves the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of cadres and the masses. It is an inevitable requirement for our party to build the party for the public and govern for the people. It also reflects the essential requirements of socialism. It should be acknowledged that there are still varying degrees of inequality in various fields of social life in our country, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between urban and rural areas, the widening of regional gaps, and uncoordinated economic and social development. This affects social harmony to a certain extent. Therefore, promoting social equity has become an important task in building a harmonious society. This requires us to insist on realizing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the basic focus in formulating and implementing various principles and policies, correctly reflecting and taking into account the interests of the people in different positions, different departments, and different aspects. While promoting development, we should put the maintenance of college fairness in a more prominent position, comprehensively use a variety of means, and gradually establish a college fairness guarantee system in accordance with the law with fair rights, fair opportunities, fair rules, fair distribution, etc. as the main content, so that all cadres and the masses of the whole college can share the fruits of reform and development. However, this fairness is by no means egalitarian. In the primary stage of socialism, we must strive to achieve social fairness, but this fairness can only adapt to the current level of productivity development and cannot transcend the historical development stage. We should establish a scientific concept of fairness and see the historicity and relativity of fairness. Fairness is always relative to a certain rule or to an unfair situation. Emphasizing fairness does not mean denying differences, nor does it pursue egalitarianism. At present, in building a harmonious society in our country, we must proceed from the reality that the productive forces are still underdeveloped in the primary stage of socialism, and we must do our best to vigorously promote social fairness; we must also act within our capabilities and effectively maintain social fairness according to actual possibilities. Likewise, Our college also proceeds from the current reality, treating students fairly and reflecting differences.
Third, it is both an urgent task and a long-term task.Harmony is concrete and historical, not absolute and achieved overnight. At different stages, the construction of Harmony College has different specific goals and tasks. Currently, my country's reform and development is in a critical period, facing both rare opportunities and severe challenges. Our country's economy and society are undergoing transformation. The social and economic components, organizational forms, interest relationships and distribution methods are becoming increasingly diversified. Many new situations and new problems have emerged in economic and social life. The problems of unbalanced urban and rural development, unbalanced regional development, and unbalanced economic and social development are prominent, and the task of narrowing the gap and promoting coordination is very arduous; social interest relationships are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, making overall planning and maintaining social equity more difficult while maintaining vitality; with the development of the multi-ownership economy and the diversification of employment forms, more and more members of society have changed from "unit people" to "social people" , social management has become more difficult; under the conditions of reform and opening up, people's ideological activities have been unprecedentedly active, and their independence, selectivity, variability, and differences have increased significantly, making it more difficult to unify their minds in emancipating their minds; negative corruption and various criminal activities have had a serious negative impact on social stability and harmony; the complex and ever-changing international situation requires us to effectively strengthen national security; and so on. Faced with these new situations and problems, how to coordinate social interest relationships, integrate social resources, mediate social conflicts, maintain social stability, and promote social harmony has become an urgent task at present. At the same time, we must also realize that building a harmonious society, realizing democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, integrity and friendliness, full of vitality, stability and order, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature, is a long-term process that requires our long-term efforts and unremitting efforts. Therefore, in this sense, to build a harmonious college, we must not only be based on the current situation, but also have a long-term perspective, adhere to one step at a time, and move forward in a down-to-earth manner.
