Why does Marxism work
In May 1818, in Trier, Germany, Karl Marx was born; in February 1848, in London, England, the "Communist Manifesto" was published and Marxism began to spread in the world.
At that time, no one thought about how closely the fate of China, a great eastern country, would be related to the glorious name of Marx in the future.
In May 2018, the Great Hall of the People in Beijing held a grand ceremony to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth.
General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the meeting, in which he profoundly pointed out: "The destiny of Marxism has long been closely linked with the destiny of the Communist Party of China, the destiny of the Chinese people, and the destiny of the Chinese nation. Its scientificity and truthfulness have been obtained in China. After being fully tested, its people's character and practicality have been fully implemented in China, and its openness and modernity have been fully demonstrated in China!"
Why does Marxism work?
The successful practice and rich development of Marxism in China is the most powerful answer.
——Scientific truth with strong vitality.
Although Marxism was born in Europe in the 19th century, its influence spans time and space.
It is a scientific theory that creatively reveals the laws of human social development; it is a theory of the people, which created the ideological system for the people to realize their own liberation for the first time; it is a practical theory that guides the people’s actions to transform the world; it is constantly evolving An open theory has always been at the forefront of the times, constantly exploring new issues raised by the development of the times, and responding to new challenges faced by human society.
It is precisely because of its powerful truth power that Marxism has profoundly changed the world and greatly promoted the progress of human civilization.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "In the history of human thought, no ideological theory has had such a wide and profound impact on mankind as Marxism."
Soon after the founding of the Communist Party of China, it founded the People's Publishing House to widely disseminate Marxist theories.
On June 30, 1922, Chen Duxiu reported to the People’s Publishing House that the People’s Publishing House had printed two types of "The Complete Works of Marx", five types of "The Complete Works of Lenin", and five types of "Comminist Series".

-Marxism has profoundly changed China.
In modern times, in the painstaking pursuit of various national salvation plans, the Chinese people have experienced the rise and failure of various "isms."
The blast of the October Revolution sent China Marxism-Leninism, like a glow in the darkness that pointed out the direction for China, and since then turned the Chinese people from passive to active in spirit.
From the moment it stepped onto the stage of Chinese history, the Communist Party of China has written Marxism on its banner, and has consistently held high this banner.
In the past 100 years, under the guidance of Marxism and its Sinicization and innovation theory, the Communist Party of China has united and led the people to victory in a magnificent revolutionary war, carried out enthusiastic socialist construction, carried out magnificent reforms and opening up, and marched into socialism with Chinese characteristics. New Era.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "Marxism has provided a powerful ideological weapon for China's revolution, construction, and reform, and enabled China, an ancient oriental country, to create an unprecedented development miracle in human history. History and the people's choice of Marxism is completely correct. The Communist Party of China is completely correct to write Marxism on its own banner. It is completely correct to insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of China and to continuously promote the modernization of Marxism in China!"
- China has greatly enriched and developed Marxism.
As a theory that continues to develop with the development of the times, practice, and science, Marxism does not end the truth, but opens up the road to the truth.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly, "The history of our party is a history of continuously advancing the sinicization of Marxism, a history of continuously advancing theoretical innovation and theoretical creation."
The Communist Party of China insists on integrating the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of Chinese revolution and construction, the specific reality of reform and opening up, and the specific reality of China in the new era. It has constantly opened up a new realm of Marxism and produced Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, and the "Three The important thought of "representative" and the scientific outlook on development gave birth to Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era.
Marxism and its development in China provide scientific guidance for the development of the cause of the party and the people, which is in line with the times and keeps pace with the times. It also demonstrates the powerful vitality of Marxism with its vivid and fresh theoretical and practical innovations. A new realm for the development of Marxism.
-In-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the historical achievements and historic changes of the party and the country have been based on the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. .
Xi Jinping’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era was forged in the great struggle of the new era and demonstrated majestic power in the great practice of guiding the new era. It is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism, and is the most realistic of the current era. , The most vivid Marxism.

Build a common ideological foundation for the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to unite and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Why is socialism with Chinese characteristics good
"After these years of development, China's post-70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s have gone abroad and can already look at the world. This is self-confidence."
During the National Two Sessions in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping explained the profound truth in vivid language: We successfully defeated the epidemic, and took the lead in turning the economy from negative to positive, and withstood severe tests.
This is not just luck. We have confidence in our road, theory, system, and culture.
Is socialism with Chinese characteristics good, and why is it good?
The facts are the most convincing, and the Chinese people have the most say. The words of General Secretary Xi Jinping provide us with the "key" to find the answer to this question.
-Fundamental achievements made by the party and people in long-term practice.
"What kind of doctrine a country implements depends on whether this doctrine can solve the historical issues facing the country." Socialism with Chinese characteristics does not fall from the sky, but the party and the people have gone through untold hardships and paid a lot of effort. The fundamental achievement achieved at the price is extremely hard to come by.
It is obtained from the great practice of more than 40 years of reform and opening up, from the continuous exploration of more than 70 years since the founding of New China, and from the 100-year practice of our party leading the people in the great social revolution. It was obtained during the 180-odd years of history of the Chinese nation from its decline to its prosperity in modern times, from the inheritance and development of the Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and also from the evolution of the socialist movement in the world for more than 500 years. It embodies the blood, life, diligence and wisdom of countless Chinese Communists and hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
The vivid practice and great success of socialism with Chinese characteristics fully prove that socialism has not failed China, nor has China failed.
Only socialism can save China, only socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China, and only by upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics can the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized. This is the conclusion of history and the people's choice.
-Firm "Four Confidences".
Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an all-round development of socialism, which is a close combination of road, theory, system, and culture.
The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize socialist modernization and create a better life for the people.
