[Guide to this chapter]
Through learning, activists who join the party must clarify the rights enjoyed by party members, grasp their spiritual essence and the importance of correctly exercising party members’ democratic rights, and strive to become qualified party members as soon as possible.
[Key points of this chapter]
The Party Constitution and the “Regulations on the Protection of the Rights of Party Members of the Communist Party of China” clearly stipulate the eight rights enjoyed by party members. Every party member and party activist must learn to correctly exercise the democratic rights of party members so as to be able to actively participate in party work, jointly manage party affairs, safeguard party interests, and ensure the healthy development of party undertakings.
- Contents of Party Member Rights
In 1864, Marx pointed out in the “Interim Constitution of the International Workers’ Association” drafted for the First International, “There are no rights without obligations, and no obligations without rights.” This incisive argument tells us that the rights and obligations of party members are unified. If there is no obligation, there is no right; if there is no right, there is no obligation.
While the Party Constitution stipulates that Party members must perform eight obligations, it also specifies the eight rights enjoyed by Party members. The “Regulations on the Protection of the Rights of Party Members of the Communist Party of China” promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on September 22, 2004 also clearly stipulated the rights enjoyed by party members. Combining the Party Constitution and the Regulations on the Protection of the Rights of Party Members of the Communist Party of China, the rights enjoyed by party members mainly include:
First, attend relevant party meetings, read relevant party documents, and receive party education and training. This right is the minimum right of a party member, and it is also an effective way for party members to improve their political consciousness, ideological level, and professional ability.
Party members have the right to participate in relevant party meetings. Relevant party meetings mainly include party group meetings, branch party member conferences, and relevant meetings that should be attended according to the party positions and representative qualifications they hold. Participation of party members in relevant party meetings is an important part of party members’ acceptance of party education, management, and supervision, and participation in the party’s normal organizational life. It is an important form of party members’ exercise and management of party affairs and an important manifestation of the party’s democratic system.
Party members have the right to read relevant party documents. Only by allowing party members to read the party’s documents can they enable them to understand and understand the party’s spirit in a timely and accurate manner, reduce blindness in work, enhance the effectiveness of work, and ensure the implementation of the party’s propositions and intentions in practice. Therefore, the party organization should provide party members with the necessary conditions for reading party documents.
Communists receive education and training from the party. For Communist Party members, in order to continuously develop and progress, improve their own quality in an all-round way, actively study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the “Three Represents”, the scientific development concept, and earnestly study the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches , “Four comprehensive” strategic layout, earnestly study the party’s line, guidelines, policies and resolutions, earnestly learn the party’s basic knowledge and scientific, cultural, legal and business knowledge, it is very important. Party organizations must also create conditions for the education and training of party members. They must take a variety of forms in a planned way, regularly educate and train party members, and continuously improve their ideological and political quality and professional level, so that party members can better play their vanguard and exemplary role. . Party members must obey the arrangements of the party organization, participate in the education and training of the party organization, and receive the education and training of the party organization.
Second, participate in discussions on party policy issues at party meetings and party newspapers and periodicals. The stipulation on this right enjoyed by party members is an important guarantee for party members to participate in the political life of the party, and it is also an important measure to prevent “one word” mistakes from occurring within the party.
Party members have the right to participate in discussions on party policy issues at party meetings. Party meetings are the basic form of formulating party policies. The party’s policy is also the party’s proposition and the will of party members. The correctness of the party’s policies is directly related to the success and failure of the party’s leadership. Therefore, Mao Zedong warned the whole party long ago that policies and strategies are the life of the party. In order for the party to formulate correct policies and achieve effective leadership, it must ensure the scientific and democratic decision-making, and must enable party members to have the right to participate in discussions on party policy issues at party meetings, and enable party members to participate in party meetings. Put forward your own views and provide a basis for the party to formulate policies and make correct decisions.
Party members have the right to participate in discussions on party policy issues in party newspapers and magazines. Party newspapers and journals are the mouthpiece of the party, an important position for propagating party policies, an effective carrier for party members to express their views on party policy issues, and one of the important forms for party members to participate in discussions on party policy issues. In the discussion, manuscripts submitted by party members in their personal name do not need to be reviewed or approved by their party organization. In doing so, firstly, we can pool our ideas and make the party’s leading organs better listen to the opinions and requirements of the broad masses of party members, and make the formulation of the party’s line, guidelines, and policies more in line with objective reality, and more in line with the requirements of the people. Second, it can enable party members to deepen their understanding of the party’s line, principles, and policies during discussions, and increase their awareness and determination in their implementation.
Third, put forward suggestions and suggestions on the work of the party. The regulation of this basic right enjoyed by party members is an important measure to give full play to the initiative and creativity of party members and enhance the party’s cohesion and combat effectiveness.
As one of the basic rights of party members, making suggestions and suggestions on the work of the party is determined by the nature of the party and the fundamental principles of democratic centralism. The nature of the party requires that the party’s work must conform to the interests of the whole party and the people. Democratic centralism requires that when making work decisions, the party must fully promote inner-party democracy and follow the principle of minority subordination to the majority. Opinions, therefore, suggestions and suggestions made by party members on the work of the party have become the inevitable meaning of the nature of the party and the principle of democratic centralism. When Communist Party members make suggestions and suggestions on the work of the Party, they may report them to the Party organization orally or in writing in accordance with certain organizational procedures. Generally speaking, you should first report to your primary party organization, and when necessary, report to the party’s superior organization through the primary party organization. However, in special circumstances, party members can also make a proposal to the party’s superior organization up to the central organization.
Party organizations must support and encourage party members to put forward suggestions and initiatives on the work of the party. Party organizations should carefully study the suggestions and proposals put forward by party members, and should reasonably adopt them and inform the party members who made the suggestions and proposals. If it is of great help to improve the party’s work, the party organization shall give commendations or rewards.
Fourth, criticize any party organization and any party member on a basis in party meetings, expose and report to the party any party organization and any party member’s violations of laws and disciplines, demand the punishment of party members who violate the law and discipline, and call for removal or replacement Incompetent party members and leading cadres. The stipulation on this basic right enjoyed by party members is an important guarantee for the party to correctly resolve intra-party contradictions, launch intra-party struggles, and ensure the health of the party’s body.
Party members have the right to criticize any party organization and any party member on a basis in party meetings. Criticism and self-criticism are one of the party’s fine styles, and they are powerful weapons for resolving intra-party contradictions and launching intra-party struggles. Party members believe that the party organization and party members have shortcomings and mistakes on a certain issue, and they cannot ignore or turn a blind eye. Otherwise, it is an act of being irresponsible to the party, and it is not the character that a party member should have. If party members find shortcomings and mistakes in the party organization and party members, they should have a high sense of responsibility and professionalism. No matter which level of party organization they are or which party member they are, they should bravely raise their shortcomings and mistakes. Criticize them in order to urge them to overcome their shortcomings, correct their mistakes, and avoid causing greater harm to the party and the people. The main point here is to emphasize that party members are the subject of criticism. There are no restrictions on the object of criticism or the object of criticism. It is any party organization and any party member, not some party organizations and party members can be criticized, and some party organizations and party members. Cannot be criticized. Party members criticize the shortcomings and mistakes of the party organization and party members. They should not adopt methods of private discussion, let alone illegal methods. Instead, they should express their views at party meetings in accordance with our party’s organizational procedures and organizational life system. It is not allowed to say nothing at the meeting or talk nonsense. This is a manifestation of liberalism and is not allowed by party discipline.
Party members have the right to responsibly expose and report to the party any party organization and any party members’ violations of law and discipline. Party members must responsibly expose and report violations of laws and disciplines by any party organization and any party member. This is a practical action by party members to help party organizations and party members abide by discipline and law, and to supervise party organizations and party members in party discipline and national laws. Important measures for activities within the scope. Party members have the right to verbally or in writing to the party organizations at all levels up to the central government to seriously and responsibly expose and report any party organization and any party members’ violations of laws and disciplines. The forms of disclosure and reporting are diverse and can be used. The form of party meetings can be in the form of writing letters (including signed or unsigned), and can also be used in the form of reporting to the party organization. The purpose of exposing and reporting should be to be responsible to the party, and not to vent private anger or attempt to retaliate. The content of the reports and reports must be true and not baseless. Of course, because all violations of law and discipline are relatively concealed, it is impossible for party members to be very clear on the details. Therefore, when exposing and reporting violations of law and discipline, as long as there is a real violation of law and discipline, they can be exposed and reported.
Party members have the right to demand the punishment of party members who violate the law and discipline, and demand the removal or replacement of incompetent cadres. Party members have the right to demand corresponding disciplinary and legal punishments for party members who violate the law and discipline. This is an important method to help, educate and rescue Party members who violate the law and discipline, and is an important measure to maintain the party’s discipline and the majesty of national laws. It is a deterrent and deterrent. An important form of educating other party members. Party discipline must be abided by party members, and national laws are the will of the state, the will of the people, and the citizens of society must abide by it. The compulsion of discipline and law determines that all violations of law and discipline cannot be accommodated, and all those who violate the law and discipline must be treated equally, and they must be held accountable accordingly. Therefore, it is not only necessary for party members to request punishment of party members who violate the law and discipline, but also very necessary. Party members have the right to demand the removal or replacement of incompetent cadres, because cadres are public servants of the people and cadres are the backbone of the party’s cause. Only competent cadres can consciously serve the people and lead the masses to advance the party’s cause. If incompetent cadres are in their positions and in power, they will inevitably cause losses to the interests of the party and the people. Therefore, Communist Party members should use the party’s cadre standards to measure whether a cadre is qualified, and use the cadre’s actual performance in practice to judge whether a cadre is qualified. The incompetent cadres have the right to request the removal or replacement. In this way, it is not only a relief for incompetent cadres, but more importantly, it is beneficial to party cadres.
The implementation of the principles and cadre line is conducive to stimulating the sense of responsibility and professionalism of cadres, and is conducive to the development of the party’s cause and the realization of the people’s interests.
Party organizations at all levels must support party members in carrying out criticism and self-criticism within the party, and support party members in fighting against various violations of laws and disciplines and unhealthy practices. The party organization shall promptly accept the criticism, disclosure, report, and accusation of party members, as well as the relevant sanctions, recall, and removal requirements, and establish and improve the system to protect the rights and interests of the whistleblower and whistleblower. The whistleblower and the content of the whistleblower must be kept strictly confidential, and it is strictly forbidden to transfer the whistleblower and accusation materials to the reported or accused organization and personnel. Discrimination, creation of difficulties, and suppression of whistleblowers and accusers are strictly prohibited, and various forms of retaliation are strictly prohibited. Party organizations shall return visits or reply letters in appropriate ways and inform them of the results of the disclosure and reporting of the real name of the agency; if the disclosure and reporting of serious violations of laws and disciplines are verified to be true, they shall be praised or rewarded. Party organizations shall give criticism and education to those who irresponsibly expose, report, accuse, and request sanctions, dismissal, or replacement; those who fabricate facts, falsely accuse others and frame others shall be dealt with strictly in accordance with disciplines and laws. For party members who have received false or false accusations, the facts should be clarified and announced within a certain range.
Fifth, exercise the right to vote, vote, and have the right to be elected. The provision of this basic right enjoyed by party members is an important foundation for embodying the will of party members in the life of the party and giving play to the role of party members in managing party affairs. It is an important manifestation of the democratic system within the party.
The right to vote refers to the right of party members to express their views on issues and candidates that require voting to make decisions at party meetings. All formal party members who have the right to vote at the meeting can vote for, against and abstain from voting. This is a specific form for party members to participate in party leadership and management of party affairs, and an important form for promoting intra-party democracy and correct concentration. Every Communist must take the spirit of being highly responsible for the party, take it seriously and correctly exercise his democratic rights.
The right to vote refers to the right of party members to express their will when participating in party elections. That is, the right to learn about candidates, criticize candidates and suggest replacement candidates, and have the right to elect or not elect a party member as a leading member of a party organization and a representative to attend a party congress at a certain level.
The right to be elected means that party members have the right to be elected as leading members of party organizations at all levels and representatives of party congresses at all levels.
It is worth emphasizing that when party members exercise their right to vote, they must fully embody the will of the electors. The party constitution stipulates that the representatives and committees of the party’s congresses at all levels must be elected and must reflect the will of the electors. The basic requirement that reflects the will of the electors is: the list of candidates must be fully discussed and discussed by the party organization and the electors; the electors have the right to understand the situation of the electees, request candidates to be re-elected, not elect any one candidate, and elect others ; No organization or individual may force the elector to elect or not elect a person in any way; if an individual needs to be recommended by the organization, it must also obtain the consent of the majority of electors. In order to ensure that the will of the electors is truly reflected in the elections, the party constitution also stipulates the election methods. The elections adopt secret ballots and differential elections. If a violation of the party constitution occurs during the election, the higher-level party committee shall, after investigation and verification, make a decision to invalidate the election and take corresponding measures, and then report it to the higher-level party committee for review and approval, and formally announce its implementation.
Sixth, when the party organization discusses and decides on party disciplinary sanctions or appraisal of party members, I have the right to participate in and defend him, and other party members can testify and defend for him. Plea, testimony, and defense must be truthful from facts. The regulation of this basic right enjoyed by party members is an important foundation for the correct conduct of party disciplinary sanctions and party member appraisal. This is an important form of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of party members. It is an important guarantee for proper and reasonable party discipline sanctions, avoiding and preventing injustice, falsehood, and mistakes in the party member appraisal work. It is also an important guarantee for party members who have been appraised or subject to party discipline. An important method of education.
When the party organization discusses and decides on party discipline sanctions or appraisal of party members, I have the right to participate in and make a defense. This emphasizes what the party member should do when the party organization discusses disciplinary sanctions or appraisal of party members, that is, the right to participate in and defend themselves. Party discipline sanctions refer to the punishment decisions made by the party organization in accordance with the seriousness of the circumstances and the provisions of the party constitution on the party members who have made mistakes; the identification of party members is the written evaluation made by the party organization on the individual party members, and the party organization’s comprehensive understanding and inspection of the party members According to the material. When party disciplinary sanctions or appraisals are made against party members, I have the right to defend. This is because, on the one hand, the Communist Party is a selfless and pragmatic party, and all the behaviors of the Communist Party are open and democratic; on the other hand, disciplinary sanctions or appraisal of party members is an organizational behavior rather than a personal behavior. The resolution passed by the branch party member assembly must be submitted to the higher-level party organization for approval before it can take effect.
When the party organization discusses and decides to punish a party member for party discipline or make an appraisal, other party members can testify and defend for him. This emphasizes what other party members should do when the party organization is discussing and deciding on disciplinary sanctions or appraisal of party members, that is, other party members can testify and defend for him. With regard to the defenses made by the punished party member or the party member who has been identified at the meeting, if other party members believe that it is a fact and understand the facts in this regard, they have the right to testify for him; if other party members believe that the party member has been punished or has been identified The party members of the party made reasonable defenses for themselves at the meeting, and they can defend them if they agree with them. The party organization must allow other party members to testify and defend.
The party organization must not only notify the punished party member or the appraised party member to participate in the meeting to discuss the decision on time, but also allow the party member to defend himself and other party members to testify and defend him. It should be noted that the party organization must listen carefully to the defenses of party members and the proofs and defenses made by other party members, verify them further, and adopt their reasonable opinions. For those opinions that were not accepted, the reasons for not being accepted should be explained to me, so that the party members who were punished would be convinced. Party members shall not be held accountable for their pragmatic defenses, testimony, and defenses.
Seventh, if there are disagreements on the party’s resolutions and policies, under the premise of resolute implementation, they can declare their reservations at party meetings or to the party organization, and they can reflect their opinions to the party’s superior organizations and the central government. The provision of this basic right enjoyed by party members is an effective method and way for the party to uphold the truth, correct mistakes, give full play to the initiative and creativity of party members, and enhance the party’s cohesion and combat effectiveness.
If party members have different opinions on party resolutions and policies, they shall declare reservations on the premise of resolute implementation. This is a kind of action that party members can take. The members of the Chinese Communist Party are communist-conscious vanguard fighters of the Chinese working class. This is the commonality of party members. However, because individual party members have certain personalities in various aspects such as study, work, and life, they tend to respond to certain problems or even respond to certain problems. The party’s resolutions and policies produced different views. Since the party’s resolutions and policies are formulated in accordance with the principle that the minority of party members obey the majority, it is not difficult to understand that the minority of party members have different views on the resolutions and policies. However, once a party organization has made a resolution and policy on a certain issue or event in accordance with legal procedures, individual party members must resolutely obey and implement it in accordance with the party’s organizational principles and organizational discipline. This is the basic prerequisite for ensuring that party members do what they order and stop when they are banned.
Party members have different opinions on the party’s resolutions and policies. Under the premise of resolute implementation, they should reflect their opinions to the party’s superior organization and the central government. This is another action that party members can take. Party members’ disagreements on the party’s resolutions and policies can be reported to the party’s superior organization up to the Central Committee in written or oral form under the premise of resolute implementation of the party’s organizational procedures and normal channels. In this way, the party’s superior organizations up to the central government can conduct a comprehensive review on the different opinions of individual party members, the resolutions and policies made on the organization at a higher level, and make correct judgments and rulings on who is right and who is wrong, and who is wrong. Who corrected it.
No party organization or party member should force party members to give up their reservations. At the same time, party organizations must be good at listening to different opinions. For party members who hold different opinions, as long as they resolutely implement the party’s resolutions and policies, they should not be subject to discipline. For party members who have reserved opinions or party organizations that have made resolutions and policies, when practice proves that they are indeed wrong, they should be practical and brave to correct them.
Eighth, to submit requests, appeals, and accusations to the party organization, higher-level party organizations, and the central government, and require relevant party organizations to respond to their requests, appeals, and accusations. The stipulation on this basic right enjoyed by Communist Party members is an important measure to promote righteousness, uphold justice, and strengthen the determination and confidence of Party members to uphold the truth and fight against unhealthy practices within the Party. It is also an important guarantee for preventing the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases. .
The right to petition of a party member refers to the right of a party member to request support, help, or investigation from the party organization, higher-level party organization, or even the central government, with regard to the relevant situation or problem encountered by the party member; the right to petition refers to the party member’s right to be exposed or I have made a mistake and have been reviewed or punished by the organization. I believe that the organization’s decision or handling opinions are inconsistent with the facts, inaccurate in characterization, improper handling, etc., and have the right to appeal the facts and reasons to the party organization level by level until the central government, and propose re-examination or The right of handling; the right of a party member to sue, mainly refers to the right of a party member to file a complaint with the party organization, higher party organization, and the central government when the legitimate rights and interests of the party member are infringed by the party organization or other party members, and demand justice. Party members’ requests, appeals, and accusations can be submitted to the party’s superior organization up to the central government, because party members’ right to request, appeal, and accuse are prerequisites. The right of petition is generally a right exercised when a party member does not receive the support and help of the party organization at the same level; the right of appeal is generally a right exercised when a party member thinks that the organization’s decision and handling are problematic; the right to sue It is generally a right exercised when a party member believes that he has been wronged. Under such a premise, in order to achieve the desired effect of party members’ requests, appeals, and accusations, party members can seek the support of the party’s superior organization.
Requests, appeals, and accusations made by the party organization, higher-level organizations, and even the central government, and require the relevant organizations to give responsible answers. Party organizations’ requests to party members should be resolved in a serious and timely manner if they are reasonable and can be resolved. For those requests that are reasonable but cannot be resolved at the moment, they should explain the situation and actively create conditions to strive for an early resolution;
Unreasonable requirements should be explained patiently, persuaded and educated, and ideological work should be done well. At the same time, the party organization must seriously handle complaints from party members. The appeals of party members shall be reviewed or reconsidered by the party organization that has made or approved sanctions, appraisals, review conclusions, or other handling. When the higher-level party organization deems it necessary, it may directly or designate the relevant party organization to conduct a review or reconsideration. Party organizations must respond promptly to requests, appeals, and accusations from party members, act in strict accordance with relevant policies, take party discipline as the criterion, and use facts as the basis to handle problems in a timely and appropriate manner. It should be dealt with in a pragmatic manner in accordance with the principle of all corrections and all corrections, partial corrections and partial corrections, and no corrections. In this way, the higher-level party organizations and the central government can understand the situation in time, improve their work, and effectively prevent and avoid the occurrence of unjust, false and wrong cases and retaliation. Therefore, party members have the right to demand a responsible response from the relevant organization.
The above-mentioned democratic rights of party members are granted by the party constitution and are further clarified by the Regulations on the Protection of the Rights of Party Members of the Communist Party of China. The exercise of democratic rights by party members is a political right that party members should enjoy and an important guarantee for party members to perform their duties. Therefore, every party member must carefully study and understand one by one, grasp its spiritual essence, and correctly exercise democratic rights; no first-level party organization up to the central government has the right to deprive party members of the above-mentioned rights.
- Correctly exercise the rights of party members
As the true subject of the exercise of rights, if a party member wants to correctly exercise the rights of party members, he must:
First, it is necessary to clarify the purpose of exercising the right. The exercise of party membership rights by party members is fundamentally for the interests of the party and the people. Therefore, obedience to the party’s current tasks and ultimate goals must be the prerequisite for exercising party membership rights. The rights of party members are by no means personal privileges, but the political rights necessary to ensure that party members give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role, safeguard the party’s interests, and fulfill the party’s tasks.
Second, we must uphold the principle that everyone is equal before party discipline. Communists, regardless of their position, length of party age, or contribution, are not allowed to enjoy any privileges beyond the eight rights granted and further clarified by the Party Constitution and the Regulations on the Protection of the Rights of Party Members of the Communist Party of China. Every party member must place himself under the supervision of the party organization, consciously accept the constraints of the party’s discipline, and exercise his rights equally and fully within the scope permitted by the party’s discipline.
Finally, we must adhere to the principle of unity of rights and obligations. No special party members who “only enjoy rights and do not fulfill their obligations” are not allowed in the party. The process by which party members exercise their rights is also the process of fulfilling their obligations. Each party member must exercise his rights in accordance with the regulations and perform activities within the scope prescribed by the Constitution and laws; at the same time, he must fulfill the obligations stipulated by the party constitution, work hard for the party, strictly abide by party discipline, and not infringe the rights of other party members. We must overcome the bad tendency of talking about rights but not duties, and freedom but not discipline. The conscientious performance of party members’ obligations has laid a good foundation for the full exercise of party members’ rights.
The development of inner-party democracy and the protection of the rights of party members are the common responsibility of the entire party and the obligation of party organizations at all levels and every leading cadre. In order to ensure that party members correctly exercise their rights, all levels of party organizations must:
First of all, we must attach great importance to safeguarding the rights of party members, protecting the political enthusiasm of party members to participate in party affairs, and continuously promoting the overall development of democratic construction within the party.
Second, it is necessary to actively promote and explore practices and experience in safeguarding party members’ democratic rights and developing inner-party democracy, so that the exercise of party members’ rights can be institutionalized and standardized, and a reliable system guarantee for the realization of party members’ rights should be provided.
Finally, it is necessary to improve the procedures for party members to exercise their rights, clarify the basic principles of correct exercise of rights, and help party members to exercise their rights correctly on the basis of strict performance of their obligations, so as to achieve the unity of rights and obligations.
Party committees at all levels should be responsible for ensuring the rights of party members in the party organization at the corresponding level; all departments of the party committee should combine their own functions and actual work to ensure the rights of party members within the scope of their duties; leading cadres at all levels should model and strictly enforce party members The provisions on the protection of rights fully respect and care about the rights of party members, and attach importance to handling and solving practical problems in the protection of party members’ rights. Disciplinary committees at all levels should also strengthen supervision and inspection, strictly abide by relevant regulations, and strictly investigate and deal with violations of the rights of party members in accordance with discipline and law.
Only by earnestly developing inner-party democracy and giving full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of the majority of party members and party organizations at all levels can our party continue to consolidate and develop with concentration and democracy, discipline and freedom, unified will and individuality. A comfortable, lively and lively political situation provides a guarantee for continuous victory in revolution, construction and reform.
- The dialectical relationship between party members’ obligations and rights
As mentioned earlier, the obligations of Communist Party members are the responsibilities that Party members should undertake or perform, which are expressed as a series of rules that Party members should do or prohibit certain behaviors. The obligation of party members is a compulsory code of conduct, and party members must strictly abide by and strictly implement it. Party members who fail to fulfill their obligations or violate their obligations will be punished by party discipline. The object of party members’ obligations is all party members. Every party member, regardless of his position, party age, or contribution, must conscientiously fulfill his obligations as a party member. The party has never had a special party member beyond the obligations of a party member. The obligations of party members are relatively stable in content, while embodying the spirit of advancing with the times, and constantly improving with the development of the party’s cause and changes in practice. However, it must be noted that no party organization or its leading cadres may expand or reduce the scope of party members’ obligations or change the content of party members’ obligations.
The rights of party members are the rights and interests that party members should enjoy, which are manifested in a series of rules that stipulate and grant party members to participate in or engage in certain matters or activities within the party. The rights of party members belong to the authorized code of conduct. Party members must exercise their rights. If they do not exercise or cannot properly exercise their rights, they are also not qualified party members. If you exercise your rights, you must take responsibility for your actions. If you wrongly exercise or abuse the rights of party members, you will also be punished by party discipline. The object of party members’ rights is still all party members, and no organization may deprive party members of their rights without authorization, and all party members are completely equal in the exercise of their rights. The rights of party members are an important manifestation of democracy within the party. Its normal exercise and full development play an important role in promoting and guiding the construction of the entire socialist political civilization. The more fully and correctly the party members can exercise their democratic rights, the more fully the inner-party democracy will be, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the party’s cause, and the more smoothly the construction of socialist democratic politics will move forward.
The obligations that Party members must perform and the rights that Party members must enjoy, although each has its own specific content and characteristics, are two aspects that are interrelated and complementary. As Marx said, “There are no rights without obligations, and no obligations without rights.”
On the one hand, in order to fulfill obligations, one must enjoy rights. For example, to require party members to implement the party’s basic line and various principles and policies, party members must have the right to participate in relevant party meetings and read relevant party documents; party members are given the right to discuss party policies and declare reservations if they have different opinions. , Can report to the party’s superior organization to the central government and other rights, so that party members can more consciously and effectively fulfill their obligations to implement the party’s line, guidelines, and policies; to require party members to resolutely fight against negative corruption, party members must Have the right to report, expose and democratically supervise. If party members cannot be provided with democratic rights, the fulfillment of party members’ obligations can only be empty talk.
On the other hand, if you want to exercise your rights, you must fulfill your obligations. For example, if a party member wants to participate in the party’s policy and theoretical discussions, he must earnestly study the basic theories of Marxism and deeply understand the party’s line, principles, and policies; party members have the right to vote, but if they cannot fulfill their obligations, their right to vote is limited. It won’t really be realized.
In short, if party members want to fully enjoy their rights, they must faithfully fulfill their obligations as party members and must fully exercise their rights. Anything that opposes and separates the rights and obligations of party members, attempts to only enjoy their rights and fails to fulfill their obligations, or as long as party members perform their duties and ignore party members’ rights, is wrong in theory and very harmful in practice. Every activist who joins the party must earnestly study the relevant regulations on the obligations and rights of party members so that they can actively perform their duties and correctly exercise their rights after joining the party. However, from the perspective of the closeness of party membership obligations and party membership rights to party activists, the most important and urgent thing is to earnestly study and practice the eight obligations that party members must perform. Because these eight obligations are specific conditions for party membership. Only when those activists who join the party have these conditions can they turn their wish into a reality and become a great, glorious, and correct member of the Communist Party of China.
