Whether or not to recognize the people as the determining force of social development, that is, the creators of history, is one of the fundamental differences between historical materialism and historical idealism. *** The characteristic and contribution of thought is that it applies the principle that the people are the creators of history to the practical activities of revolution and construction and forms a systematic mass line. In the new period, the Party's mass line is of great significance for us to firmly establish the scientific concept of development, strengthen the close contact between the Party and the people, and realize the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.
First, the people are the basic subject of the Party's mass line
(a) The people are a historical category
The people refer to the broadest social groups (including certain classes, strata, social groups, etc.) that play a role in promoting social development, which includes a double meaning: first, it refers to the progressive forces of society, which is relative to the reactionary forces. The first is the progressive forces of society, as opposed to the reactionary forces, which do not belong to the masses; the second is the group of progressive forces, which always consists of a large number of individuals, but the group as a whole is qualitatively different from the individual, and the masses of the people are often referred to simply as the people or the masses. The masses are a historical category with different connotations in different countries and different historical periods. As far as our country is concerned, in the period of the new democratic revolution, all classes, strata and social groups that favored, participated in and supported our new democratic revolution belonged to the category of the people; in the period of the socialist revolution, all classes, strata and social groups that favored, participated in and supported our socialist revolution belonged to the category of the people. At the present stage of our country's development, all socialist workers, patriots who support socialism and patriots who support the unification of the motherland belong to the category of the people. Since China's reform and opening up more than 20 years ago, many new changes have taken place in the composition of the people. First of all, with the development of productive forces, the progress of science and technology, and the adjustment of economic and industrial structure, the working class includes not only industrial workers but also skilled workers; not only employees in traditional industries but also those in non-traditional industries; not only physical laborers but also mental laborers, and intellectuals and administrators who have mastered modern science and technology are the bearers of advanced productive forces and an intellectuals and managers in possession of modern science and technology are bearers of advanced productive forces and are an important part of the working class in China. Secondly, the peasant class, which is the ally of our working class, is also changing. With the acceleration of China's urbanization procedure, which has led to the transfer of surplus rural labour to other industries; and with the development of agricultural science and technology, the acceleration of the procedure of industrialization of agriculture, and the transformation of traditional agriculture into modern agriculture, the situation of China's peasant class has become very different from that of the peasants in the traditional sense. Again, with the development of the market economy and the restructuring of the ownership system, many non-public economies have been created, and a large number of private entrepreneurs and practitioners have appeared, as well as managerial and technical personnel employed in foreign-funded enterprises, self-employed persons, private entrepreneurs, practitioners in intermediary organizations, freelancers and other social strata. These new social strata have contributed to the cause of China's socialist modernization and construction through lawful business and honest labour, and they are just as much the builders of China's socialism as its workers, peasants, intellectuals, cadres and PLA commanders. These classes, strata and social groups, as builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics, undoubtedly all belong to the category of the people in our contemporary society. Therefore, by the interests of the people, we mean the interests of the builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
(2) The people are the main body of development
The interests and demands of the people determine the general trend of historical development. The development and progress of society is mainly manifested in the increasing material and spiritual wealth of society and the alternation of the old and new social systems, and the people are the creators of the material wealth of society, the creators of the spiritual wealth of society, and the basic subject of the change of the social system.
First, the people are the creators of social material wealth. The material means of living on which human society depends is created by the laborers with their own minds and hands. The hard work of the working masses creates an ever-increasing amount of social material wealth, nurtures all members of society, and becomes the basis for the survival of mankind. In the process of material production, people constantly interact with nature, thus gradually deepening their understanding of natural and social phenomena and their laws, improving their ability to transform nature and society, and developing human beings themselves. In the course of history, in addition to material production activities, people have to engage in political science, literature and art, and other social activities. All these social activities, however, are provided and created by the development of material production. In short, the material productive labor of the workers forms the basis of all social activities and supports the whole edifice of social life, thus becoming the basic condition for social and economic development.
Secondly, the people are the creators of the spiritual wealth of society. The material production and other practical activities of the people are the source of scientific and cultural development. The people directly create the spiritual wealth of society, a large number of folk songs, folk tales and even literary masterpieces, are condensed with the hard work and wisdom of countless ordinary people and folk artists. Among the working masses, many great scientists, inventors, thinkers and artists have emerged, who have made great contributions to the development of human science and culture and played a driving role in the development of the society, and the people have provided inexhaustible raw materials for the creation of science and culture. The needs of the people are a powerful driving force and a broad market for the development of scientific and cultural endeavors. In contemporary society, the proportion of mental laborers in the people's masses is increasing, thus also showing more and more the historical role of the people in the direct creation of social and spiritual wealth.
Thirdly, the masses are the decisive force for the change of the social system. The needs and interests of the people are the root cause of the change of the social system, the social system is in the final analysis determined by the production, the deep root of the change of the social system is the development of the productive forces, and the people are the embodiment of the development of the requirements of the productive forces and the representatives of the people, the people are the basic force to realize the change of the social system. One of the basic conditions for changing the social system is that it must have the social forces to realize it, and the people are the basic social forces. Who the masses follow and which path they choose determine which social system becomes a reality. The breadth and depth of all changes in the social system depend on the breadth and depth of the people's participation; the people determine the success or failure of changes in the social system; and the people determine the basic direction of changes in the social system. The people are the main body of history, and their interests and demands determine the general trend of historical development. Whether it is the destruction of the old system, or the creation of a new system, or the long-term evolution of the social system, the productive forces and the masses play a decisive role.
Second, the mass point of view is the theoretical cornerstone of the Party's mass line
The mass point of view is a fundamental point of view of Marxism. How the *** members and cadres of the Party treat the masses is not a question of general method or style, but a fundamental question of position, worldview, and party character. The basic content of the view of the masses is the basic principles of historical materialism on the role of the masses and the individual in history, that is, the principle that the masses are the creators of history, the principle that the individual plays a role in history, and the principle that the mass class political parties and leaders are related to each other. On the basis of these basic principles, the mass point of view can be further materialized into six aspects: first, the point of view that the people are the creators of history. This is the fundamental point of the mass point of view, and the other elements of the mass point of view are all expansions and supplements of this point of view. Second, the viewpoint of learning from the people. All true knowledge comes from practice, and the people are the broadest subject of social practice, they have accumulated rich experience in practice, nurturing great wisdom. Therefore, *** people must be full of enthusiasm, sincere learning from the people. Third, the point of view of serving the people wholeheartedly. The people are the masters of society, *** people are only the people's servants, wholeheartedly serving the people is the centralized expression of the advanced nature of the proletarian party. Fourth, the power of cadres is given by the people. All cadres of our party and country work for the benefit of the people, the basis of the power and authority of the cadres is the people, and the cadres of the party can get the support of the masses and become qualified servants of the people only if they sincerely work for the benefit of the people. Fifth, the point of view that responsibility to the Party is consistent with responsibility to the people. Party cadres must be responsible to the party, but the party is the tool of the people, the party does everything for the benefit of the people, the party's decisions and instructions are the embodiment of the people's interests. Therefore, being responsible to the Party and being responsible to the people are fundamentally unified, that is, unified to be responsible to the people. Sixth, the view that the Party must rely on the masses and guide them forward. This is determined by the nature of the Party as the vanguard of the proletariat, its purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly and the complex structure of the people. The people are the creators of history, they possess endless wisdom and power, and the Party must fully believe in the masses if it is to realize its goals. At the same time, the masses of the people always contain different components, and there are advanced, intermediate and backward people, and in a class society, there are even different classes, strata and social groups, whose opinions and actions are not exactly the same, and therefore it cannot be said that they are all "naturally reasonable" and correct. Even the people as a whole have the problem of constantly improving their scientific, cultural, ideological and moral qualities. Therefore, as the vanguard of the proletariat, the Party must educate and guide the masses according to their different levels of enlightenment, and in accordance with the fundamental interests of the masses and the requirements of the law of social development, which is an important responsibility of the Party.
Third, the profound meaning of the Party's mass line
The mass line is the fundamental working line of the Party. The Chinese *** people, mainly represented by ***, have creatively applied the basic principles of the Marxist view of the masses to all the activities of the Party, forming a complete mass line, that is, "all for the masses, all relying on the masses, from the masses, to the masses." The center of the mass line is the correct handling of the relationship between the proletarian party and the masses.
"All for the masses" is determined by the historical position of the people and the nature of our party. The people are the creators of history, the broadest body of society, representing the requirements of the development of the productive forces and embodying the trend of social development. To be a progressive social force, any individual, political party or class must objectively stand on the side of the people and work for their interests, regardless of whether they consciously realize this subjectively. The Party, as a Marxist-guided proletarian vanguard, is able to recognize this general trend in history, consciously reflecting the interests and demands of the people without seeking any special interests, and taking "all for the masses" as its founding principle. This is the centralized expression of the advanced nature of our party, is the fundamental difference between our party and all other political parties, is our party can win the heartfelt support of the masses of the people, so as to become the nucleus of the leadership of the Chinese people is the fundamental reason.
The basic basis for "relying on the masses for everything" is still that the people are the creators of history and the greatness of the cause in which our party is engaged. The people harbor infinite wisdom and power, and compared with the people, the wisdom and power of any individual, political party or group is always weak. Therefore, whoever relies on the people will have immense power and will be able to win in practice; whoever is detached from the masses will be alone and will suffer setbacks and failures in practice. Especially our party is "all for the masses", to liberate all mankind as its mission, such a great cause, it is impossible to rely only on a few people to replace the masses to fight the world, but must fully mobilize and organize the masses, relying on the strength of the masses, in order to achieve success. So: "all rely on the masses" is our party's source of strength, is "all for the masses" of the fundamental guarantee.
"From the masses, to the masses" is the fundamental method of our party's correct leadership, "all rely on the masses" in the party's leadership and working methods of the concrete embodiment. On the one hand, to come from the masses and to go to the masses is a process based on the practice of the masses, from practice to understanding, from perceptual understanding to rational understanding, and then from understanding to practice, to test the truth and develop the truth through the practice of the masses. This is a complete embodiment of Marxist epistemology. On the other hand, coming from the masses and going to the masses is again a process based on the masses, the subject of practice, from the masses to the leadership and then from the leadership to the masses, realizing the organic combination of the masses and the leadership. This fully embodies the historical materialist view of the masses. From this, it can be seen that the leadership method of the mass line, the Marxist epistemology and the mass point of view through, fused into one furnace, to achieve their organic unity.
The masses are the creators of historyThis is the historical materialist view.
Historical materialism reveals that material production is the basis for the existence and development of human society, and the mode of production is the determining force of social development. The history of the development of human society is first and foremost the history of the development of production, and the history of the development and alternation of the mode of production from the lower to the higher orders, which lays a solid foundation for the establishment of the principle that the people create history. Since the history of human society is first and foremost the history of material production, the history of human society is also first and foremost the history of the material producers; and since the mode of production is the decisive force in the development of society, the activities of the working masses as the main body of the masses of people play a decisive role in the development of society. This
fundamentally reveals that the masses are the driving force of historical development.
Historical materialism indicates that the masses of people create history first of all through material production activities, and
also through class struggle, social revolution, social
reforms, and activities in the spiritual sphere carried out on this basis.
First, the masses of people are the creators of the material wealth of society. The masses of the people have created human material civilization by supplying the world with food, clothing, and other means of social material life.
Second, the masses are the creators of the spiritual wealth of society. Not only do they provide an inexhaustible source of spiritual wealth through their practical activities, but they also provide human society with an inexhaustible number of finished products of spiritual wealth through the great power and wisdom of their millions of creators.
Thirdly, they are the creators of the world's material and social life.
Third, the masses are the decisive
force of social change. The evolution of human society from a slave society to a feudal society, a capitalist society and a socialist society must be achieved through the conscious
revolutionary struggle of the masses, and the working people are the main force of the revolutionary struggle.
In short, historical
activity is the cause of the masses, and the masses of the people are the main body of history, the creators of history
. It is the activities of the masses, not the activities of any one individual, that
embody the law of historical development and the trend of historical development, and determine the direction of historical development
and the end of history. The masses of the people are the decisive
force that drives historical development and are the real driving force of historical development. As *** pointed out, "The people, and the people alone, are the driving force behind the creation of world history." (*** Selected
Collected Works, Vol. 3, p. 1031) The people are the creators of history, but this is not
the same as saying that the role of the people in creating history can be unrestricted by socio-historical
conditions. The masses can only create history under established historical conditions, on the basis of existing
social relations, and in accordance with the laws of social development.
Historical materialism recognizes the masses as the creators of history, and at the same time fully
affirms the role of individuals, especially outstanding figures, in history, and affirms that the leaders of the proletariat
class are capable of playing a significant role in promoting the development of society.
The idea that the people are the creators of history is one of the most basic elements of the mass concept
and the theoretical basis of China's *** mass line.
Why the people are the creators of history essay
The people are the decisive force driving the development of history, and are the real driving force of historical development.
First, the people are the creators of the material wealth of society. The masses of the people supply the whole world with food, clothing and other
social material means of life and create the material civilization of mankind.
Second, the masses are the creators of the spiritual wealth of society. The people not only provide an inexhaustible source of spiritual wealth with their practical activities, but also provide human society with countless finished products of spiritual wealth with the great power and wisdom of their millions of creators.
Third, the people are the decisive force of social change. The evolution of human society from a slave society to a feudal society, a capitalist society and a socialist society must be realized through the conscious revolutionary struggle of the people, and the working people are the main force of the revolutionary struggle.
In short, historical activity is the cause of the masses, and the masses are the main body of history, the creators of history.
(1) The people are the creators of the material wealth of society, and thus fundamentally promote the development of society, should be understood from the following three points.
First, in order to be able to create history, people must live. But in order to live, they first need the means of subsistence such as clothing, food, and shelter. Therefore, people must engage in the production of material wealth. This is the basis for the existence and development of human society. "Any nation that ceases to labor, needless to say for a year, or even for a few weeks, will perish." Without the production of material goods, there would be no way to carry out all other activities at all, and there would be no human social life or human history. The material means of life on which human society depends is precisely what the masses of people create through their own labor, in which the working masses are the main body of social production, and their activities create material wealth, which provides the material basis for human survival and social development.
Secondly, the productive labor of the people to create material wealth is not only the basis for the existence of human society, but also the determining force of social development. The development of any society is based on the development of productive forces, and the people are the embodiment of the productive forces of society and the direct bearers of the production of material goods. The development of the productive forces cannot be separated from the masses. In their productive labor, the masses of the people continuously accumulate experience, improve their production skills and improve the means of production, thus promoting the development of production, changes in the mode of production, and the development and progress of society as a whole from the lower to the higher orders. Therefore, the masses of the people, who are engaged in and contribute to productive activities in different forms, inevitably play a decisive role in the development of society.
Thirdly, the working masses include manual and intellectual workers, but the material wealth is created by both manual and intellectual workers*** together, in the modern mass production. The role of intellectuals is growing.
(2) The masses are the creators of the spiritual wealth of society, thus promoting the overall progress of society.
This is the key and difficult content of this box. It can be grasped from the following three points.
First, the people want to engage in science, culture, art and other spiritual activities, it is necessary to obtain a certain material means of subsistence, but also to have instruments and devices to engage in scientific and cultural activities of the material means. These material means of life and material means are provided by the working people through material production activities.
The people's practical production activities not only create the material basis for the generation of spiritual wealth, but also become the cognitive power of the formation of spiritual wealth. For example, natural science, it is in the working masses of production practice on the basis of the emergence and development. Production practice provides natural science with rich experience and research topics, and constantly promotes the forward development of natural science.
Second, the practical activities of the people are the source of all spiritual wealth.
The rich experience accumulated by people in practice constitutes the raw materials or semi-finished products of human spiritual wealth. Invention and creation is mainly engaged in mental labor scientists, engineers and other intellectuals of creative activities. The reason why they can play a great role in the activity of creating spiritual wealth lies not only in the fact that they take part in the social practice of the working masses to varying degrees, but also in the fact that they correctly concentrate and summarize the practical experience of the working people. The practical activities of the people are the source from which all spiritual wealth is generated. The experience and wisdom of the people is the treasure trove of all scientific and cultural creations. Without the practical experience of the masses, any individual's "creative" activity is water without a source, wood without a root, and it is impossible to achieve valuable results.
Third, the working masses also directly create spiritual wealth.
First of all, the material results created by the working masses are always condensed with people's wisdom. For example, one of the four great inventions of ancient China, movable type printing, was invented by Bisheng, a craftsman of the Northern Song Dynasty. Huang Daobao, the textile innovator of the Southern Song Dynasty, was an ordinary working woman. It can be seen that the working masses in the process of creating material achievements condensed a lot of wisdom, therefore, these material achievements itself is a kind of spiritual wealth.
Secondly, the working masses also directly create spiritual wealth in practice.
The working masses have created many sculptures and paintings in practice, which are an important part of the treasure house of human art. As for the folk music, dance, it is the direct creation of the working masses. Such as "Blind Bing" as a folk musician and "clay man Zhang" as a folk artist.
(3) The masses are the decisive force for social change.
First, the movement of the basic contradictions in society, that is, the contradictions between productive forces and relations of production, and between the economic base and superstructure, inevitably lead to the replacement of social forms, resulting in the demise of the old system and the emergence of a new one. In a class society, class struggle is the direct driving force for social development. Social change must be realized through the struggle of the revolutionary class against the reactionary class and through the revolution of the masses of the people to overthrow the reactionary ruling class. All genuine revolutionary movements are essentially struggles in which the working people themselves rise up to destroy the corrupt social system. In class society, the great role of the masses of the people in the making of history is particularly prominent in the period of social change, in the stormy period of the revolution, when they are always at the forefront of the struggle, and fully display their creative power with the air of the masters of society and the creators of history.
Secondly, in the socialist period, the role of the people's masses in social change is realized by carrying out reforms, consolidating and improving the socialist system. For example, the reform of the "Dagang Gan" in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, was adapted to the productivity situation at that time, and the reform of the two-tier management system based on family contracting and combining the unification and division of labor was later implemented throughout the country, which greatly consolidated and perfected the collectivist economy in rural areas of our country, and promoted the development of the rural productive forces. The reform of the economic and political systems in China is a ****together undertaking of hundreds of millions of people. At present, the masses of our people are devoting themselves to reform, deepening reform and accelerating the pace of reform with great enthusiasm, which will surely become a powerful driving force for the rapid development of our society.
Thesis Why the people are the creators of historyThe people are the decisive force that drives the development of history, and are the real driving force of historical development.
First, the people are the creators of the material wealth of society. The masses supply the world with food, clothing, and other
social material means of life, and create the material civilization of mankind.
Second, the masses are the creators of the spiritual wealth of society. The people not only provide an inexhaustible source of spiritual wealth with their practical activities, but also provide human society with countless finished products of spiritual wealth with the great power and wisdom of their millions of creators.
Third, the people are the decisive force of social change. The evolution of human society from a slave society to a feudal society, a capitalist society and a socialist society must be realized through the conscious revolutionary struggle of the people, and the working people are the main force of the revolutionary struggle.
In short, historical activity is the cause of the masses, and the masses are the main body of history, the creators of history
Because the masses are the creators of material civilization and spiritual civilization,
And without an era of material civilization and spiritual civilization is not an era of history!
Judgment: 35, the people are the creators of historyCorrect
The people are the creators of history, historical figures belong to the creators of history?History is the sum total of human activities. People create their own history.
But the people are the real creators of history, because it is the activities of countless people that condition each other and drive each other that make up the colorfulness of history. Here is the emphasis on the participation of mankind as a whole in the making of history.
However, the human group is composed of one active individual. Individuals can be divided into ordinary individuals and historical figures (great men or "big bads"). History is the sum of the activities of countless ordinary individuals and many historical figures.
Historical figures are the product of their time. They also belong to the creators of history, but they can only accelerate or delay the program of history, not determine the fundamental direction of its development. The fundamental driving force of historical development is the continuous development of productive forces, which is ultimately the result of the participation of human beings as a whole in production. So it is the people who are the creators of history.
What theory do the masses of people are the creators of history belong toThe three main components of Marxism: Marxist philosophy, Marxist political economy, and scientific socialism. Marxist philosophy includes dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and "the masses are the creators of history" belongs to the historical materialist view of Marxism. The process and trajectory of their development and progress are recorded as the so-called history. In this way, history is created by the people.
