The October Revolution brought us Marxism-Leninism with the sound of a cannon. The October Revolution helped the advanced elements of the whole world and also in China to reconsider their own problems by using the proletarian cosmology as a tool for observing the fate of the country.

Marx said, "Philosophers only explain the world in different ways, and the problem is to change the world." "The Chinese Communists have found Marxism, and since then they have possessed a scientific world outlook and methodology, and have possessed a powerful ideological weapon for understanding and transforming the world. No matter how the times change and how science progresses, Marxism still shows the great power of scientific thought in China and still occupies the commanding heights of truth and morality.
Why the Communist Party of China can, why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, is because of Marxism! Why does Marxism work? It is because Marxism is the theory of the people. From Marx's proposal to "serve the people organized in the commune", to Lenin's "serving thousands of working people", to Mao Zedong's "serving the people wholeheartedly", and Xi Jinping's "people-centered", all fully embody the people's nature of Marxism. The people's nature is the most shining theoretical quality of contemporary Chinese Marxism. Why does Marxism work? It is because Marxism has profoundly changed not only the world, but also China. Over the past 100 years, under the guidance of Marxism and its theory of sinicization and innovation, the Communist Party of China has united and led the people to victory in the revolutionary war, carried out the construction of socialism in full swing, carried out magnificent reform and opening up, and entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Practice has proved that history and the people's choice of Marxism is completely correct, the Communist Party of China is completely correct in writing Marxism on its banner, and it is completely correct to persist in integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and constantly promoting the sinicization of Marxism into the times! Why does Marxism work? This is because Marxism is not an abstract dogma, but a scientific theory. In 1938, Comrade Mao Zedong made his first profound exposition on the sinification of Marxism, pointing out: "Talking about Marxism apart from Chinese characteristics is only abstract and empty Marxism... The foreign eight strands must be abolished, the empty and abstract tunes must be sung less, and dogmatism must rest and be replaced by a fresh and lively Chinese style and Chinese style that is popular with the Chinese people. In the process of sinicizing Marxism, the Chinese Communists founded Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, formed the important thinking of "three represents" and the scientific concept of development, and created Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era.
Count the popular characters, and look at the present dynasty. Standing at the historical crossroads of the "two hundred years" goal of struggle, we must feel the power of truth from the history of the party's century-old struggle, illuminate our way forward with the light of Marxist truth, unswervingly adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, unswervingly promote the sinification of Marxism, never forget our original intention, keep firmly in mind our mission, and continuously make new achievements in the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country!
