Through studying, clarifying that the party’s discipline is an important advantage of the Communist Party of China, is an important guarantee for realizing the unified will and action of the whole party, and giving full play to the advantages of the party in other aspects. Communists must abide by discipline.
[Key points of this chapter]
Strict organization and iron discipline are an important advantage of the Communist Party of China. It is an important guarantee for realizing the unified will and action of the whole party, and giving full play to the advantages of the party in other aspects.
In October 2015, the central government promulgated and implemented the newly revised Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China. This is a major measure to implement party governance in accordance with regulations and strengthen internal party supervision under the conditions of the party’s long-term governance and comprehensive rule of law. The results of the practice of administering the party strictly in an all-round way. Party organizations must strictly enforce and maintain party discipline, and party members must consciously accept the constraints of party discipline.
- The content of party discipline
Party discipline is the general term for various party regulations and laws established by the party in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism, in accordance with the nature of the party, program, process of revolutionary development, and the need to realize the party’s line, principles and policies. It is the party’s organization and party members. Rules of conduct that must be followed.
The party’s discipline has the following characteristics: One is objectivity. Party discipline is not a manifestation of subjective will, but a product of historical development. The discipline of the proletariat is formed by the proletariat in the material conditions of large-scale capitalist production and is the inevitable result of the development of large-scale social production. The discipline of the proletarian party is a concentrated expression of the discipline of the proletariat. The second is seriousness. The strength of the proletariat and its party lies in the tightly organized unity.
The effective display of this organizational role depends on the implementation of extremely strict iron discipline within the proletarian party. Once a certain proposal and opinion is discussed and passed at a party meeting, a resolution is formed, which is applicable to the entire party organization and party members and has the same binding force, and each party organization and party member must implement it. Whoever violates discipline will be punished by discipline. The third is self-consciousness. The members of the Communist Party of China are advanced members of the working class armed with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the “Three Represents”, the scientific outlook on development and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of important speeches. ,
The dialectical relationship between freedom and inevitable, the observance of party discipline is regarded as an obligation to the party, as the observance of the objective laws of revolution and construction. At the same time, party discipline is premised on allowing free discussion and free criticism within the party. Party members have full democratic rights within the party, and they are both the executor and the maker of party discipline. Any discipline of the party is formulated on the basis of full free discussion and criticism by party members or through their representatives. It not only conforms to the party’s fundamental interests, but also embodies the personal will of most party members.
In October 2015, the central government promulgated and implemented the newly revised Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China. The new “Regulations” follow the principle of separation of discipline and law, based on the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and combined with the theory and practice of the party’s discipline construction, the 10 categories of violations stipulated in the original “Regulations”
The types are re-integrated into six categories, namely, violations of political discipline, violations of organizational discipline, violations of integrity and discipline, violations of mass discipline, violations of work discipline, and violations of life discipline. To this end, we divide the party’s discipline into six disciplines: political discipline, organizational discipline, integrity discipline, mass discipline, work discipline, and life discipline.
Political discipline is a code of conduct that must be observed by the party’s organizations at all levels and all party members in terms of political direction, political stand, political speech, and political behavior. It is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining the party’s unity and unity. Political discipline is the most important and fundamental discipline. It is the discipline of leading and managing directors. Observing the political discipline of the party is an important basis for observing all the disciplines of the party.
Organizational discipline is a behavioral rule that regulates and handles the relationship between party organizations at all levels, between party organizations and party members, and between party members and party members. It is an important guarantee for maintaining the party’s centrality and unity and maintaining the party’s combat effectiveness.
Integrity and discipline are the rules of conduct that party organizations and party members should abide by when they are engaged in official activities or other activities related to the exercise of their powers. It is an important guarantee for achieving cadres’ integrity, government integrity, and political clarity.
Mass discipline is a rule of conduct that party organizations and party members must follow in the process of implementing the party’s mass line and handling the relationship between the party and the masses. Mass discipline is a manifestation of the nature and purpose of the party, an important guarantee for the close ties between the party and the masses, and it has the characteristics of the discipline of the ruling party. The new “Regulations” set a single category of behaviors that violate mass discipline, restoring the fine tradition of mass discipline in the “Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention” in order to maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the masses.
Work discipline is the behavioral rules that party organizations and party members must follow in various specific work of the party, and it is an important guarantee for party organizations and party members to carry out various tasks in accordance with regulations.
Life discipline is a rule of conduct that party members should abide by in daily life and social interactions. It involves party members’ personal morality, family virtues, social ethics and other aspects, and is related to the party’s image.
What needs special explanation is that our party is a Marxist party. Among all party disciplines, political discipline is in the lead and governs. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The party’s discipline is multifaceted, but political discipline is the most important, fundamental, and critical discipline.” Regardless of which discipline is violated, allowing it to develop will eventually erode the party’s ruling foundation and ability to govern. , What is undermining is the political discipline of the party.
- Importance of Party Discipline
Party discipline is the guarantee for the implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies, a powerful weapon for maintaining the unity and unity of the party, and an important condition for consolidating the close ties between the party and the masses.
First, the party’s discipline is the guarantee for the implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies. The line, principles, and policies of a party were formulated by the party in a certain historical period in order to achieve its political tasks. The implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies is a basic political requirement for every party member. Practice has proved that after the correct line, principles and policies are formulated, it is not an easy task to truly ensure that they are fully implemented. It requires the party’s organizational line and the vanguard and exemplary role of party members as a guarantee. . Party discipline plays an important role in maintaining the unified will and actions of the whole party and maintaining a strong fighting capacity. Mao Zedong has a famous saying: Strengthen discipline, and revolution is invincible. He also said that discipline is a guarantee for the execution of the line. All this shows the extreme importance of party discipline in the implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies.
Second, party discipline is a powerful weapon to maintain the unity and unity of the party. The strength of the party is not only that it is armed with advanced theories and that it has a unified will based on its political program, but also that it is an organization as a whole, organized by the principles of democratic centralism. For the unity and unity of the party, we need to take up the weapon of discipline and fight resolutely against the activities of factions and small groups within the party, as well as all activities to split the party and disintegrate the party.
Third, party discipline is an important condition for consolidating the close ties between the party and the masses. To consolidate the relationship between the party and the masses, the most important issue is to ensure that decisions and their implementation conform to the interests of the people. At the same time, we must rely on all party members, especially party leading cadres, to consciously and exemplary abide by the party’s mass discipline. Only by strictly implementing the party’s discipline can we maintain the party’s fine traditions and style of work, safeguard the interests of the masses, and improve the party’s status among the masses. The long-term struggle history of the Chinese Communist Party proves that wherever the party maintains and promotes the party’s fine style of work with strict discipline, the party maintains flesh-and-blood ties with the masses, it has won the people’s sincere support for the party; wherever the party’s discipline is breached, When unhealthy trends prevail, the relationship between the party and the masses will become tense, and the party’s image will be damaged.
- Disciplinary actions by the party
The Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China stipulate that party organizations and party members who violate the party constitution and other internal party regulations, violate national laws and regulations, violate party and state policies, violate socialist morality, and endanger the interests of the party, the state, and the people shall be subject to regulations. Anyone who is given disciplinary or sanctions must be held accountable. This provides a basis for the correct implementation of the party’s disciplinary sanctions.
- Disciplinary punishment of party members
According to the “Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Measures Regulations,” the types of disciplinary sanctions imposed on party members who violated the party’s disciplines are divided into five categories: warning, serious warning, revocation of party positions, and party probation based on the severity of the violation. , Expelled from the party.
The warning is the slightest disciplinary action in the party. It is a warning to party members who have made mistakes, making them pay attention and vigilant. In general, in work, due to lack of experience or momentary negligence, occasionally violated party discipline, or although the error belongs to the ideological quality, but the nature of the error and the consequences are not serious, such disciplinary sanctions can be given.
A serious warning is a serious warning for party members who violate party discipline. Generally, the nature and extent of the mistakes made by party members is more serious than the warning sanctions, but if they do not constitute more serious internal party disciplinary sanctions, severe warning sanctions may be given.
Party members shall not be promoted within the party or recommended to non-party organizations for non-party positions higher than their original positions within one year of the warning or severe warning for one and a half years.
The sanction of revocation of an intra-party position refers to the removal of an intra-party position elected by the party or appointed by an organization by the disciplinary party member. For those who hold two or more positions in the party, the party organization shall clarify whether to remove all their positions or a certain position when making a sanction decision. If one decides to remove one of his positions, the highest position he held must be removed. If it is decided to remove two or more positions, they must be removed in order starting from the highest position they held. For those who hold positions in non-party organizations, they should advise non-party organizations to deal with them accordingly. Those who should be subject to the sanctions of removal of their posts within the party, but who do not hold any posts within the party themselves, shall be given serious warnings. Among them, those who hold positions in non-party organizations should recommend the non-party organizations to remove their non-party positions. Party members who have been punished by removal of their posts within the party, or have received severe warnings in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, shall not serve within the party and recommend to non-party organizations to hold posts equal to or higher than their original posts within two years.
Staying in the party for probation is to temporarily stay in the party for party members who have seriously violated party discipline to observe their future performance. There are two types of staying party for probation: staying for one year and staying for two years. For party members who have been subject to disciplinary action by staying in party probation for one year, after the expiration of the term, they still do not meet the conditions for restoring party members’ rights.
The period of staying in the party for probation should be extended for one year. The maximum period of staying in the party for probation shall not exceed two years. Party members have no right to vote, to vote, or to be elected during the sanctions when they are subject to probation by the party. During the period of staying in the party for probation, if there is indeed a manifestation of repentance, the party member’s rights shall be restored after the expiration of the term; those who insist on not changing or discover other violations that should be subject to party disciplinary sanctions shall be expelled from the party. Party members were punished by staying in the party for probation, and their posts within the party were naturally removed. For those who hold non-party positions, non-party organizations should be recommended to remove their non-party positions. Party members who have been punished by staying in the party for probation, within two years after their rights are restored, may not hold positions within the party and recommend to non-party organizations to hold positions equal to or higher than their original positions. Where representatives of the Party’s congresses at all levels are punished by staying for party probation or above (including staying for party probation), the party organization shall terminate their representative qualifications.
Expulsion from the party means that a party member’s mistakes seriously violate the party’s discipline, and it is the highest disciplinary action in the party to be expelled from the party. Party members who have been expelled from the party for disciplinary sanctions will naturally be revoked from their posts in the party, and they are not allowed to re-enter the party within five years. If there are other regulations that are not allowed to re-enter the party, it shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant regulations.
- Disciplinary measures for party organizations that seriously violate party discipline
According to the “Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Measures Regulations,” the disciplinary measures for party organizations that seriously violate party discipline are divided into two types: reorganization and dissolution.
Party organizations that have seriously violated party discipline and cannot be corrected by themselves should be reorganized. Members of the leading body of the party organization that are subject to the reorganization process, except for those who should be sanctioned by the removal of internal party positions (including removal of internal party positions), are naturally removed.
Party organizations that have severely violated party discipline by all or most party members shall be dissolved. Party members in party organizations that are subject to dissolution should be reviewed one by one. Among them, those who meet the requirements of party members should re-register and join a new organization to live the party life; those who do not meet the requirements of party members should be educated and corrected within a specified period of time. If there is no change after education, they should be dismissed or removed; Violation of discipline shall be investigated in accordance with regulations.
- The basic principles of the party’s disciplinary action
First, uphold the principle that the party must manage the party and govern the party strictly. The Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China stipulate: Strengthen the education, management, and supervision of the party’s organizations at all levels and all party members, put discipline in the forefront, and pay attention to catching the early and catching the small. “Strictly governing the party” is not only our party’s fine tradition and valuable experience, but also our party’s consistent policy. The unswerving implementation of this policy is an important guarantee for maintaining the party’s advanced nature and purity and enhancing the party’s cohesion and combat effectiveness. To implement the party’s policy of managing the party and governing the party strictly, it is necessary to emphasize strictly abiding by the party’s constitution, act in accordance with the party’s system and regulations, and resolutely safeguard the authority of the party constitution and party regulations and laws.
Second, uphold the principle of equality before party discipline. The Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China stipulates that: Party organizations and party members that violate party discipline must be disciplined in a serious and fair manner. Party organizations and party members who are not subject to discipline are not allowed within the party. The basic meaning of equality before party discipline is that no matter what level of party organization, no matter how high the position is, party members and leading cadres must abide by party discipline; as long as party discipline is violated, they must be given in accordance with the nature of the error and the severity of the circumstances. Criticize, educate and disciplinary actions, up to expulsion from the party. Party members are equal before discipline. That is to say, any party member, regardless of party age, position, or merit, will abide by party discipline without exception; whoever violates party discipline must be held accountable and follow the same principles. Deal with it; no special party members who are not subject to discipline and who are above the party organization are not allowed in the party. Persistence in ensuring that all party members are equal before discipline is one of the main signs of strict discipline and a Marxist principle for serious party discipline.
Third, adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts. The Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China stipulate that the violations of party discipline by party organizations and party members shall be based on facts, and the party constitution, other party regulations and national laws and regulations shall be used as the criterion to accurately determine the nature of the violation, distinguish between different situations, and be appropriate Be dealt with. When punishing party members who have made mistakes, we must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts and be highly responsible for the party’s cause and party members themselves.
Fourth, adhere to the principle of democratic centralism. The “Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Measures Regulations” stipulate that the implementation of party disciplinary sanctions shall be decided through collective discussion by the party organization in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and no individual or a small number of people shall make decisions and approvals without authorization. Decisions made by higher-level party organizations to deal with party organizations and party members that violate party discipline must be implemented by lower-level party organizations. The punishment of party members must be discussed and decided by the branch assembly, and resolutions must be passed in strict accordance with the principle of minority submission to the majority, and submitted to the party’s grass-roots committee for approval. Individuals are not allowed to decide the punishment of party members. Party members subject to punishment should attend the meeting and allow themselves to explain the situation and defend themselves. The factual materials on the basis of the punishment decision and the punishment decision must meet with me. I am dissatisfied with the punishment decision and allow reservations. I can appeal to the higher organization up to the Central Committee .
Fifth, adhere to the principle of punishing the past, treating the sick and saving people. The Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China stipulates that in the handling of party organizations and party members who violate party discipline, discipline and education should be combined to achieve both leniency and strictness. “Punishing before and after, treating illnesses and saving people” is our party’s consistent policy towards comrades who have committed mistakes. According to this policy, the goals of clarifying thinking, correcting mistakes, serious discipline, educating, and uniting comrades can be achieved. “Before punishment” means that you must expose the mistakes you have made in the past and show no mercy. “Waihou” means that comrades who have made mistakes must first be educated to recognize their own mistakes and find the root cause of the mistakes, so that I can learn from them, take a warning, and do not make or make fewer similar mistakes in the future; For those party members who have made serious mistakes and must be disciplined, it is also to make them accept the lesson and not repeat them again, and to educate the majority of party members. “Cure and save people” means to help comrades who have made mistakes recognize their mistakes, find out the root causes of their mistakes, and completely correct them, just like doctors “curing diseases”, it is entirely for “saving people”, not for killing people. Therefore, we must not engage in cruel struggles and ruthless attacks against comrades who have made mistakes, and it is strictly forbidden to treat party members who have made mistakes by violating party discipline and national laws.
- The scope of the party’s disciplinary sanctions
The applicable scope of party discipline sanctions is party organizations and party members who violate party discipline and should be held accountable. Specifically, it refers to the behaviors of party organizations and party members that violate the party constitution and other internal party regulations, state laws and regulations, violate party and state policies, violate socialist morals, endanger the interests of the party, state and the people, and shall be subject to disciplinary or sanctions in accordance with regulations. Accordingly, the concept of “violating party discipline” has the following four meanings:
First, the main body that violates party discipline is the Chinese Communist Party members and party organizations, and other personnel and organizations cannot become the main body that violates party discipline. However, it cannot be said that all party members and party organizations are subjects that violate party discipline. Only when a party member or party organization violates party discipline can it become a subject that violates party discipline.
Second, violations of party discipline are acts that violate the party constitution and other internal party regulations, violate national laws and regulations, violate party and state policies, and violate socialist morals. The party constitution is the fundamental law within the party and the general constitution governing the party and governing the party. The party constitution has the highest authority and the strongest binding force within the party. To administer the party strictly in an all-round way, we must first follow the party constitution, maintain the party constitution with strict discipline, and establish the authority of the party constitution. Therefore, if a party member violates the party constitution, it also violates party discipline. The party and state policies are guided by Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the “Three Represents”, the scientific outlook on development and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s series of important speeches, and are based on the objective needs and development of China’s socialist revolution and construction. The interests of the people are the main means for the party to exercise leadership over the country and society, and it is an important basis and code of conduct for the entire party to carry out various tasks. The violation of party and state policies by party members or party organizations also violates party discipline.
The laws and regulations of the country are the will of the broad masses of people who have been elevated to the will of the country through state institutions. It is formulated on the basis of party policies that have been repeatedly tested and proven to be correct in practice. The party’s correct policy is fixed through the national legislative process and becomes law. The party constitution stipulates: “The party must operate within the scope of the Constitution and laws.” Party members violate national laws and regulations and are not allowed by party discipline.
Third, violation of party discipline is an act that endangers the interests of the party, the country, and the people. The behavior of a party member or a certain party organization is deemed to have violated party discipline because such behavior has caused a certain amount of harm to the party, and behavior without harm cannot be deemed as a violation of discipline. The party is a loyal representative of the interests of the people of all ethnic groups, and acts that endanger the interests of the country and the people are also a violation of party discipline.
Fourth, violations of party discipline are behaviors that should be disciplinary or sanctioned in accordance with regulations. The wrong behaviors of party members are of all kinds and manifested in all aspects. Not all wrong behaviors of party members can constitute mistakes that violate the nature of party discipline. The violations stipulated in the Party Disciplinary Regulations are behaviors that should be subject to disciplinary investigation and disciplinary action. For other violations of discipline in a broad sense, non-party disciplinary sanctions can be adopted, such as criticism and education, ordering review, and reporting criticism.
- Investigation of Party Discipline Responsibility for Party Members’ Illegal and Criminal Behaviors
The party constitution stipulates that party members are obliged to abide by national laws and regulations in an exemplary manner. Any violation of national laws and regulations is a violation of discipline. While adhering to the principle of the separation of discipline and law, the “Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China” has achieved an effective connection between party disciplinary actions and state law through the establishment of special clauses, making the system of party disciplinary actions more scientific and avoiding the separation of discipline and law. Indulge in illegal and criminal acts of party members.
The first is to stipulate that when party organizations find that party members have committed corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty, and other criminal laws that are suspected of crimes during disciplinary review, they shall be given sanctions of removal from party positions, party probation, or party membership.
Second, the party organization discovered during the disciplinary review that a party member had committed an act stipulated by the criminal law. Although it did not involve a crime but the party disciplinary responsibility must be investigated, it should be given a warning or expelled from the party according to the specific circumstances.
Third, if party organizations discover other illegal acts by party members during disciplinary review, which affect the image of the party and harm the interests of the party, the country, and the people, they should be given party disciplinary sanctions based on the severity of the circumstances. Those who have lost the qualifications for party membership and seriously corrupted the party’s image shall be expelled from the party.
Fourth, if the circumstances of a party member’s crime are minor and the People’s Procuratorate makes a decision not to prosecute in accordance with the law, or the People’s Court makes a guilty verdict and exempts criminal punishment, and a party member commits a crime with a fine, the party member shall be revoked from the party’s post, stay in party probation, or be expelled Sanction.
Fifth, party members
In any of the following circumstances, the party should be expelled from the party: for deliberate crimes and sentenced to the main sentence (including probation) stipulated in the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China; for single or additional deprivation of political rights; for negligent crimes, Was sentenced to more than three years (excluding three years) fixed-term imprisonment according to law. Those who have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years (including three years) for negligent crimes or sentenced to surveillance or criminal detention shall generally be expelled from the party. For individuals who may not be expelled from the party, they should report to the party organization at the next higher level for approval in accordance with the provisions on the authority to approve the punishment of party members.
- Strictly administer the party in an all-round way, and put discipline and rules in the forefront
Discipline is the life of the party. The party’s discipline guarantees ideals, beliefs and purposes, reflects the fine traditional style of work, and guarantees routes, principles and policies. Numerous cases have proved that the “breaking of the law” by party members all begin with the “breaking of discipline.” Party members who abide by discipline will not slip into the abyss of crimes. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “If discipline is not strict, it is impossible to talk about administering the party strictly.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it has shifted from emphasizing political discipline and political rules to the implementation of the eight central regulations, from intensifying efforts to punish corruption, to strengthening inspections and supervision, and managing the party’s governance and discipline. Combination boxing, facing the problem of “losing to lenient, losing to looseness, and losing to softness”, pointed out the direction for the party’s governance.
The state has national laws, the party has party regulations, the country is governed by law, and the party is strong due to regulations. Under the new situation, the party’s governance test, reform and opening-up test, market economy test, and external environmental test are long-term, complex, and severe. The danger of mental slack, insufficient ability, danger of isolation from the masses, and danger of negative corruption are more acute. In front of the whole party. In the face of severe and complex situations, arduous and onerous tasks, and the expectations of the people, the party’s own problems have become more prominent. The party’s indifferent concept, lax organization, lax discipline, weakening of the party’s leadership, lax governance of the party, and lack of accountability are the biggest threats to the party. If it is allowed to develop, it will weaken the party’s ability to govern and shake the party’s ruling foundation. To govern the country, the party must be governed first, and the party must be governed strictly. To administer the party strictly in an all-round way is to put the discipline and rules up front, and insist that discipline is before the law and stricter than the law.
The party is a political organization. Party rules and discipline guarantee the ideals, beliefs and purposes of the party, and are the bottom line of the ruling Communist Party of China; the law reflects the will of the country and is the bottom line of all citizens. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Party regulations and other party regulations have higher requirements for party members than the law. Party members must not only strictly abide by the laws and regulations, but also strictly abide by the party regulations and other party regulations, and set higher requirements on themselves.” If you retreat to the legal line of defense, only the leading cadres who seriously violate the law and discipline will be punished, and most party members will be “out of control” and not disciplined. Taking the rules seriously, administering the party strictly in an all-round way will become empty talk. The nature and purpose of the party determine that party discipline must precede and be stricter than the national law. To put party discipline in front of the national law is to put higher demands on party members and cadres, and always maintain the vanguard nature of our party in setting an example.
Law is the most important tool for governing the country, and discipline is the ruler for governing the party. To put power in the cage of the system, from the perspective of the country, is to govern the country according to law, and from the perspective of the political party, it is to govern the party in accordance with the rules. Relying on the law to punish the very small number of corruption and relying on party discipline to control the majority of party members and cadres is an inherent requirement for strict governance of the party. Only by adhering to the separation of discipline and law, can party regulations and national laws not only perform their duties, divide labor and cooperate, but also coordinate and complement each other, forming a joint force for party style and clean government building and anti-corruption; only by insisting that discipline is in front of the law, can discipline management be used. Live in the majority, eliminate “viruses” and “insect pests” in their budding state, and prevent small mistakes of party members and leading cadres from causing major disasters; only by insisting on strict discipline and law, can we highlight the political responsibilities of party members and party organizations that are different from ordinary citizens. Arouse the awareness of the party constitution, party rules and party discipline of the whole party, especially the leading cadres of party members.
Party organizations and party members must uphold discipline before the law and be stricter than the law. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once pointed out, “Without party regulations and party laws, national laws are difficult to guarantee.” What he meant was to put party discipline in front of national laws, use discipline and rules to measure the behavior of party members and cadres, control the majority, and ensure the unity and unity of the party. , Maintain the health and purity of the party’s body. At present, only by engraving the party’s discipline on the hearts of all party members, especially party members and leading cadres, can we continuously create a new realm of comprehensive and strict governance of the party and give play to the party’s key role in coordinating and advancing the “four comprehensive” strategic layout.
- Activists who join the party must strengthen their sense of discipline and the rule of law
Persisting in abiding by party discipline and maintaining the unity of the party is one of the basic responsibilities of party members and one of the basic requirements for the advanced nature of party members. Activists who join the party should study party discipline, be familiar with party discipline, strengthen the concept of discipline and the rule of law, and lay the foundation for consciously abiding by party discipline and maintaining party unity after joining the party.
- Resolutely abide by political discipline
Among all disciplines of the party, political discipline comes first. No matter what discipline is violated, letting it develop will eventually erode the party’s ruling foundation and destroy the party’s political discipline. Strengthen the construction of discipline, and strictly observe political discipline and political rules will always rank first. To stress the rules, we must first stress the political rules; to observe the rules, we must first abide by the political disciplines. Grasping the principle of serious political discipline and political rules, and bringing serious other disciplines together, is the fundamental strategy for governing the party.
To abide by political discipline means to adhere to the party’s basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience, and to unswervingly implement the party’s line, principles, and policies at this stage. This is where the party and the people’s highest interest lies. It is never allowed to adopt an attitude of “policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom” to the party’s policies and major decisions. carried out.
- Effectively enhance the sense of discipline and the rule of law
Effectively enhancing the concept of discipline and the awareness of the rule of law is the ideological basis for the majority of party activists to consciously abide by discipline and law. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out in-depth discipline education and legal education among activists who join the party, and learn to act in accordance with discipline and law. At the same time, it must be fully estimated that the enhancement of the concept of discipline and the rule of law is a gradual development process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Learning a certain amount of legal knowledge does not mean that you have a sense of law, nor does it mean that you have learned to act in accordance with the law. Only by applying the learned legal knowledge to practice, continuously absorbing, accumulating, and sublimating, and realizing the combination of theory and practice, can it gradually rise to legal consciousness and form a relatively firm concept of the rule of law. In recent years, the extensive education of law popularization has achieved certain results, but there is still a problem that the mastery of legal knowledge is not rich and comprehensive enough, and it is not easy to use it, and it is far from being able to meet the needs of young people’s growth. Therefore, education on discipline and the rule of law must be carried out unremittingly, deeply and down-to-earth.
Discipline and rule of law education should adhere to the principle of being close to reality, adapt to the characteristics of the educated in content, and suit the taste of the educated in form. In this way, disciplinary education and legal education can be full of vitality, attractiveness and appeal, and can also enhance pertinence and practical effects. In practice, various localities have created a variety of discipline education and rule of law education, and have received good results. It is necessary to continuously sum up experience and keep innovating to further improve the effectiveness of discipline education and education on the rule of law.
- Bravely fight against all kinds of violations of party discipline and national laws
In practice, most comrades are able to consciously abide by party discipline and state laws. However, there are also individual violations of law and discipline, and even some violations of law and discipline cannot be effectively corrected and punished. There are many reasons for this situation, and the main reason is that these people’s own political and ideological quality is not high, the awareness of obeying the law is not strong, and they lack a high degree of organizational discipline. However, some people turn a blind eye to violations of party discipline and national laws. There is also a certain relationship between closing one eye and not being able or daring to fight resolutely.
