Pay attention to the source and stick to the original intention of struggle
-- Four Talks: Extensively Carrying Out a Great Discussion on the "Concept of Struggle in the New Era" -- The commentators of the People's Liberation Army Daily are getting brighter and brighter, and the reason is becoming clearer and clearer. An important purpose of launching the "outlook on struggle in the new era" is to clarify the source of ideology and correct errors in concepts, and it is necessary to step on the important step of "distinguishing" and guide officers and men to distinguish right from wrong, clear up the fog, and gather consensus in the course of exchanges and confrontations. Discussion is like a stone, and thinking is like a sharp blade, and sharpening the mind will make it sharper. Discussion and analysis is a process of expressing one's own opinions, inspiring each other, and educating oneself, as well as a process of updating thinking concepts, clarifying goals, and forming ideas and measures. The broad masses of officers and men are the main body of strengthening the army, and the more in-depth the discussion and the more thorough the analysis is, the more they will be able to stick to the original intention of struggle and stimulate the spirit of struggle. The history of the development of the people's army is a history of struggle that overcame obstacles and swept up blood and glory, and the spiritual traits such as "not being afraid of two" and "not believing in three" have been nurtured and formed, and have been deeply rooted in the blood genes of officers and men from generation to generation. At the same time, officers and men in the new era are facing the practical influence of various social trends of thought, and they will inevitably encounter ideological confusion in such areas as ideals and reality, self-interest and altruism, and small self and big self, and in particular, some negative factors such as the "lying flat" argument, the "Buddhist" mentality, and the confusion of "involution" are bound to have an impact on the spirit and spirit of struggle of a small number of officers and men. "The original intention is not old with age, and the struggle is always like that of youth. Only by eliminating the "virus" and "impurities" that affect the struggle, and solving the problems of "origin" and "source", can we have a correct ideological understanding, a clear position and attitude, truly polish the original intention of struggle, always maintain the background of struggle, integrate personal dreams into the dream of strengthening the army, and write a colorful military life. In order to discuss the "theory" and distinguish the "deep" analysis, we must aim at the confusion of values, face the contradictions in real work, and respond to the needs of growth and success. For example, how to unify the pursuit of the "big self" and the achievement of the "small self", how to choose whether to build a unit as a "home" or as a "station"; how to treat the courage to "carry the burden" and worry about "smashing the plate", how to distinguish between "fighting" and "rolling"; how to grasp the growth of "squatting seedlings" and "jointing", how to "heart-to-heart" between strict hard work and loving intentions, and so on. These rights and wrongs need to be distinguished well, everyone comes and goes, and speaks freely, the question mark can be straightened, and the strength can be rejuvenated. To do a good job in discussion and analysis, it is not only a matter of method, but also necessary to correct the fundamental attitude, take the mass line, focus on the leadership to take the lead, to participate in all employees, and to value insight. If leading cadres are high-minded and preconceived, and act as both "moderators" and "keynote speakers," the discussion will become a "hall of words"; if they regard discernment and analysis as a "routine matter" and engage in "a gust of wind," deal with it at will, do things perfunctorily, scratch their boots, and make light of some deep-seated issues, the discussion will become a "go through the motions." Really discuss and really work, and distinguish and analyze it. All levels should focus on the conspicuous problems that have been investigated and laid out, set up topics for differentiation and analysis, and use big, correct, and practical truths to control small truths, crooked reasoning, and false propositions. Flexible use of tutoring and teaching, discussion and exchange, role model dialogue, case warning, interactive Q&A and other forms to organize cadres and fighters to debate on the same stage, and two-way interaction at the grassroots level of organs, so as to form a vivid situation in which everyone is an educator and everyone is in education.
