“中国共产党和中国人民”的文明意义

The Civilization Significance of “the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese People”

作为领导者、组织者的中国共产党,与作为组织、动员对象的中国人民,二者是一体相生的休戚与共的关系。中国共产党如果脱离了人民,就不成其为中国共产党;同样,脱离了中国共产党的领导,中国人民就是一盘散沙,也就不成其为政治学意义上的中国人民。毛泽东在党的七大预备会议上作出“从古以来没有这样的人民,从古以来没有这样的共产党”的论断,最好地说明了中国共产党锻造了从古以来没有的“党组织”,同时也锻造了从古以来没有的全面组织动员起来的“中国人民”,这就是“中国共产党和中国人民”的文明意义和政治学意义。“中国共产党和中国人民”可谓共同建构了中国文明的新的政治秩序与政治原理。

The Chinese Communist Party, as leader and organizer, and the Chinese people, as the object of organization and mobilization, are actually outgrowths of the same body, and the two always stand together through thick and thin. If the Chinese Communist Party is divorced from the people, it will become nil. On the other hand, without the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese people will be like a sheet of loose sand and will no longer be the Chinese people in the strict political sense. Mao Zedong’s assertion at the preparatory meeting for the Seventh National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party that“there has never been such a people since ancient times, and there has never been such a communist party since ancient times”best highlights the fact that the Chinese Communist Party has forged the strongest ever organization and has consequently brought the Chinese together as a people so fully organized and mobilized. This is the political significance of“the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.”The two can be said to have jointly constructed a new political order and a new political principle of Chinese civilization.
