Reporter: How to understand the social appeal? How to understand the social appeal of a political party?
Deng Chundong: Social appeal refers to the influence and mobilization ability of a certain subject on the object. Under certain social conditions, specific organizations, including political parties, groups, enterprises or individuals, can obtain and use this appeal in a certain sense. For a political party, its social appeal refers to the party's ability to influence, gather, mobilize, and guide the whole society.
Xun Qingzhi: Generally speaking, the social appeal of a political party, especially the ruling party, is its social and political mobilization ability against different groups, classes and forces in society, that is, the ability to unite and put into action different social groups, classes and forces around certain values, political goals and social visions, which is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is the scope of its impact on society that it can achieve, and the other is the intensity of its mobilization of the target group or class.
It should be pointed out that the Communist Party of China is the largest political party in the world. To enhance the social appeal of political parties, there are often obvious differences between large political parties and small political parties. The former should pay more attention to the political responsibility in the sense of governing the country, while the latter pays more attention to how to express and safeguard the interests of the class or group represented.
Strengthen the party's social appeal and ensure that our party will always maintain its vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness.
Reporter: Why does the Chinese Communist Party have a strong social appeal?
Deng Chundong: the social appeal of the Communist Party of China is determined by the party's nature, purpose, program, line and its own image. In the era of revolutionary war, the party constantly possessed and strengthened its own social appeal among the broad masses of the people, and led the people of the whole country to win the victory of the new democratic revolution. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, our party has always adhered to its own nature and purpose, seeking happiness for the Chinese people, seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and constantly creating a new situation of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is in line with its strong social appeal. Inseparable.
Xun Qingzhi: It can be said that after nearly a hundred years of the founding of the party and nearly 70 years of the founding of New China, the Communist Party of China has accumulated sufficient self-confidence and experience in enhancing its social appeal. Of course, for a big party that has been in power for a long time, we also need to keep pace with the times and constantly improve the level and ability to enhance social appeal.
Reporter: Why did the Secondary specialized school of the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China propose to continuously strengthen the party's social appeal?
Xun Qingzhi: In fact, the report on this question has already given a clear answer: to ensure that our party will always maintain its vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness. On the one hand, from the perspective of the party's own construction, it is imperative and urgent to enhance the party's social appeal; on the other hand, the importance and urgency of enhancing the social appeal lies in the fact that if we can not build a Marxist ruling party with correct political direction, excellent leadership ability and high quality, it is impossible to carry out great struggle, promote great cause and realize great dream.
Deng Chundong: it is the party that strengthens its ideals and beliefs, insists on serving the people wholeheartedly, establishes the lofty image of the ruling party in the hearts of the people, and becomes the leader of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people to create a better future, so that it has a strong appeal among all the people. Only when the party itself is purer, more advanced, and stronger, can we continue to win new victories in socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Firmly believe in ideals, persist in keeping pace with the times, and jointly create a bright prospect for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Reporter: in the new era, how to continuously enhance the party's social appeal?
Deng Chundong: judging from the party's historical experience, to enhance the party's social appeal, we must not forget our original ideals and aspirations, bear in mind our mission, strengthen our ideals and beliefs, and persist in carrying forward the party's fine traditions. First of all, we must strengthen our ideals and beliefs, arm the minds of all party members with Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and enable the majority of party members and cadres to master powerful ideological weapons. Secondly, we should adhere to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, carry forward the party's traditional style of keeping close ties with the masses, and constantly strengthen the close ties between the party and the masses. Third, it is necessary to comprehensively improve the advanced nature and purity of the party organization, enhance the party spirit of all party members, and let the party organization and party members and cadres reflect the vanguard and exemplary role in various tasks, display a good image, and win more trust and support among the masses.
Xun Qingzhi: To strengthen the party's social appeal, we must work from two aspects.
On the one hand, it is necessary to analyze China's reality in the new era more scientifically and comprehensively and respond to the demands of the broad masses of the people more accurately. In this regard, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made a systematic and in-depth comprehensive exposition: decisively build a well-off society in an all-round way, and start a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Obviously, such a blueprint is in line with the needs and pursuit of the vast majority of the people for a better life, so that our party has a stronger social appeal.
On the other hand, in contemporary society, under the condition of rapid development of new technology, the embodiment of social appeal has more forms and possibilities. With the rapid development of information technology and artificial intelligence, there are both opportunities and challenges to enhance social appeal, which requires our party to actively adapt to and actively lead this change, and constantly promote the innovation of ideas and technical means, so as to ensure that it has the social appeal of keeping pace with the times.
