President Xi profoundly pointed out: "The courage to self-revolution is the most distinctive character of our Party and the greatest advantage of our Party. "An advanced Marxist party is not born, but is tempered in the course of constant self-revolution. At present, we are making great strides towards comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization. Achieving the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army and speeding up the building of the people's army into a world-class army are the strategic requirements for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. We must always remain sober and firm in solving the problems unique to the big party, win the historical initiative in the courage of self-revolution, and constantly open up a new situation in the cause of strengthening the military.
Deeply understand the historical significance of having the courage to revolutionize yourself
The courage to self-revolution is not only a conspicuous sign that distinguishes our party from other political parties, but also the key to our party's ability to always remain unchanged from its quality, color, and taste, to always maintain its vigor and vigor, and to always become a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The winning code for the Party to achieve revolutionary forging. Along the way, why has our party been able to stand out in the repeated contests of various political forces in modern China? Why has it always been able to march in the forefront of the times and become the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation? The fundamental reason is that our party has always maintained the spirit of self-revolution, maintained the courage to admit and correct mistakes, picked up the scalpel again and again to eliminate its own diseases, solved its own problems on its own again and again, and become stronger and more powerful in the revolutionary forging.
The party has the unique advantage of jumping out of the historical cycle rate. The issue of jumping out of the historical cycle rate is a major issue that has a bearing on the party's great cause for a thousand years, on the life and death of the party, and on the success or failure of the socialist system on the mainland. Comrade Mao Zedong gave the first answer in the cave in Yan'an, which was to "let the people supervise the government". After several generations of unremitting struggle, especially the new practice since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has given a second answer, which is self-revolution. Over the past 100 years, our party has relied on developing people's democracy and accepting the people's supervision externally, and on comprehensively and strictly governing the party internally, promoting self-revolution, having the courage to uphold the truth, correcting mistakes, and having the courage to turn inward and scrape the bones to cure the poison, and constantly exploring effective ways to jump out of the historical cycle, thus ensuring the party's long-term prosperity and continuous development and growth.
The party's confidence in facing risks and challenges head-on. To carry out self-revolution, we need to face difficulties and forge ahead. At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and if our party wants to make every effort to overcome all kinds of risks and challenges on the way forward, it must continuously enhance its ability to self-purify, self-improve, self-innovate and self-improve, so as to grasp the initiative in the struggle and be invincible in the fierce international competition and the strategic game of major powers, and accumulate strong potential energy and shape a favorable situation for Chinese-style modernization.
The party and the army always maintain the inherent requirements of their advanced nature and purity. On the new journey, if we want to build the party into a Marxist ruling party that always walks in the forefront of the times, is wholeheartedly supported by the people, has the courage to self-revolution, can withstand the test of all kinds of storms, and is full of vigor, we must keep in mind our original aspiration and mission, and continue to deepen the party's self-revolution in the new era. Our army is a people's army under the party's absolute leadership, and the party's vanguard nature has forged the advanced nature of the people's army. In the face of the missions and tasks of the new era, we must continue to deepen self-revolution, scientifically solve the contradictions in development with a long-term strategic vision, overcome the contradictions existing in ourselves with a selfless and fearless mind, undertake the historical mission entrusted by the party and the people with the courage to take responsibility, and strive to move forward towards the Chinese dream and the dream of strengthening the army.
Strengthen the historical consciousness of having the courage to revolutionize themselves
The greatness of the Communist Party of China lies not in not making mistakes, but in never shying away from medical treatment, daring to face problems head-on, having the courage to revolutionize itself, and having a strong ability to repair itself. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the comprehensive and strict governance of the party has made historic and pioneering achievements, which have produced all-round and deep-seated impacts, and must be adhered to and continuously advanced for a long time.
Grasp the arduousness of self-revolution from shouldering the historical mission. Comprehensively and strictly administering the party is the only way for the party to always maintain its vitality and take a new road to catch up with the examination. "It seems to be the most ordinary and strange, but it is easy but hard. "What we are now in is a time when the boat is more urgent and the road to the middle of the mountain is steeper, and it is a time when it is more and more difficult to advance, and it is more and more dangerous to advance, and if we do not advance, we must retreat, and we must use greater determination, greater courage, and greater strength to promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party and the army to develop in depth, so as to provide a strong political guarantee for the realization of the goal of the centenary of the founding of the army.
Grasp the initiative of self-revolution by solving the problems unique to the big party. At the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, President Xi Jinping made an in-depth analysis of the unique problems of the big party with the "six hows". In the face of the lofty mission of building China into a great modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization, in the face of the major challenges of high winds and turbulent waves on the road ahead, and in the face of the long-standing "four major tests" and "four dangers", solving the problems unique to the big party is bound to be a long-term process, which determines that the comprehensive and strict governance of the party will always be on the road and the party's self-revolution will always be on the road. In the new era and new journey, we must always adhere to the problem orientation, maintain strategic focus, and carry out the party's self-revolution to the end with tenacity and perseverance on the road.
Grasp the necessity of self-revolution from the promotion of the great social revolution. Leading the great social revolution with the party's self-revolution fully demonstrates the original aspiration and mission, historical consciousness and political responsibility of the Chinese communists. It is necessary to further promote the practice of the party's self-revolution, so that the century-old party will continue to radiate vigor and vitality, and always become the vanguard of the times and the backbone of the nation, so as to lead the people to promote the great social revolution and create new historical causes.
Grasp the fighting nature of self-revolution from a situation of all-round strictness. President Xi pointed out: "The struggle of our communists has always been driven by contradictions, risks and challenges. "Corruption is the greatest cancer that endangers the party's vitality and combat effectiveness, and fighting corruption is the most thorough self-revolution. We must adhere to the strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere, take the upright style, discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point, lead with a fine style, ensure with strict discipline, and punish evil with anti-corruption, and promote the party's self-revolution to be interlocking and progressive at all levels, so that the party can achieve self-promotion and self-transcendence in the process of reforming and reforming the new.
Shoulder the historical responsibility of having the courage to revolutionize ourselves
The courage to carry out self-revolution is not only the secret of our party's prosperity after more than 100 years of vicissitudes, but also the heirloom magic weapon for our army to continuously advance from victory to victory. In the new journey of forging ahead to strengthen the army and rejuvenate the army, we must, as always, carry forward the spirit of self-revolution and gather the majestic force to achieve the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army.
Temper the spirit of self-revolution in forging ideals and beliefs. To have the courage to revolutionize ourselves, we must firmly establish a solid foundation of faith and nourish the spiritual source. It is necessary to continue to strengthen the theoretical armament, deeply study Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, give prominence to the study of Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, conscientiously read the original works, learn the original texts, understand the principles, comprehensively comprehend and systematically grasp them, and lay a solid ideological foundation for officers and soldiers to maintain the core and obey the command; Absolutely.
Deepen the practice of self-revolution in improving the ability to win. Being able to fight and win wars is the mission and responsibility of the army, and it is also the practical direction of the people's army to promote self-revolution in the new era and new journey. It is necessary to focus on the battle to achieve the goal of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army, refine and implement the target map, road map, and construction drawings for training and preparation, and use the standards for fighting a war to guide all fields of transformation and construction, and pay attention to the entire process of training and preparing for war; it is necessary to keep a close eye on the changes in science and technology, the changes in war, and the changes in the opponents, and make real efforts and exert real strength in innovating training methods and tactics, speeding up the transformation and upgrading of training, and building and strengthening combat forces in new domains and new qualities, so as to temper bloody courage, strengthen the sense of crisis, and forge a fighting spirit. It is necessary to closely follow the ideological reality of officers and men, give full play to the role of ideological and political education, tempering the tasks of war building and preparation, and shaping party discipline, state law, and military regulations, so as to constantly arouse the morale of the soldiers, the sharpness of war, and the confidence to win.
Sharpen the will to self-revolution in the process of strengthening the ability to struggle. The will to self-revolution is not innate, but needs to be tempered in complex struggles. It is necessary to have the confidence that "in striking iron, we must be hard ourselves," constantly strengthen the spirit of struggle and the cultivation of fighting skills, and in the course of effectively coping with major challenges, resisting major risks, overcoming major obstacles, and resolving major contradictions, we must refine "the body of King Kong is not bad"; we must have the consciousness that "there is no need to raise the whip and work oneself," muster up the spirit and spirit to dare to fight, come up with a winning strategy for good fighting, and exert great efforts to tackle tough problems in areas where problems frequently occur and in areas where stubborn diseases occur, and promote the in-depth development of the military's building of a clean and honest party style and the anti-corruption struggle with the determination and tenacity of not winning a complete victory and not withdrawing troops; Don't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool", always internalize compliance with rules and disciplines as a code of words and deeds, act in strict accordance with rules and regulations and laws and regulations, resolutely break the luck psychology and paralyzing thoughts, and do not be afraid, warn of words, and stop in deeds.
It is necessary to unite the forces of self-revolution in the course of taking the mass line. The mass line is the lifeline and fundamental work line of our party, and it requires the party's self-revolution to take "people-centered" as its value pursuit. It is necessary to always keep our eyes downward and our steps downward, engage in more "taking off our shoes and going to the fields" style of squatting and "solving cattle from the stock" type of investigation, understand in our hearts and minds the various contradictions that restrict the building of the troops, such as the shortcomings in preparing for war and fighting, the blocking points in planning and construction, and the problems in innovation and development, and tackle tough problems with courage and perseverance in the spirit of self-revolution. It is necessary to carry forward the fine tradition of the "three major democracies," fully arouse the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of officers and men at the grassroots level, and constantly unite the powerful force of the officers and men to start a business.
