Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought constitute the guiding ideology of our Party.
Since the smashing of the Gang, we have restored the scientific character of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought and have guided ourselves by them.
Without the basis of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, without stressing principles, right and wrong, and with a united spirit of harmony, it is impossible to achieve true revolutionary unity.
First, a sound guiding ideology, represented by Mao Zedong Thought.
Comrade Mao Zedong wrote a four-word motto for the Central Party School in Yan'an: "Seek truth from facts."These four words are the quintessence of Mao Zedong Thought.
What we consistently take as our guide to action are the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought or, to put it another way, the scientific system formed by these tenets.
Mao Zedong Thought is the Basis in the Formation of Deng Xiaoping Theory;
Imbued with Mao Zedong Thought, our contingent of scientists and technicians has made truly rapid progress in the last 28 years.
It is exactly because we have had Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory as the guide, is it possible for our Party to lead the people in overcoming all hardships and setbacks and winning one victory after another.
Theoretical and practical values of Mao Zedong Thoughts;
The appraisal of Comrade Mao Zedong and the exposition of Mao Zedong Thought relate not only to Comrade Mao personally but also to the entire history of our Party and our country.
It demonstrates that we are firmly upholding Mao Zedong Thought in our actions.
Basically, we should study Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought and try to integrate the universal principles of Marxism with the concrete practice of our modernization drive.
From the international point of view, Mao Zedong Thought is inseparably linked with the struggle against hegemonism;and the practice of hegemonism under the banner of socialism is a most obvious betrayal of socialist principles on the part of a Marxist-Leninist party after it has come to power.
The draft resolution, however it is written, should also contain a clear exposition of the merits and demerits of Comrade Mao, the content of Mao Zedong Thought and its guiding role in our work both at present and for the future.
