interpretation
Chinese "sectarian" the term originally referred to this branch Yan sent inside the ancient clan distinguish Dishu size, used to refer to the religious, political, academic, cultural and other fields of different genres. Mao Zedong once said: "sectarian, our ancestors called the 'clique' Now people also called 'circle' also known as 'stall', we hear very familiar." In the history of the Chinese Communist Party, sectarian specifically refers to "the party violation of political and organizational principles of the party, the party split, small-organizational activities, to assert independence party, the party of the collective behavior of individuals on top of. " Chinese Communist Party from the date of birth, breed sectarian on the development of the party's growth process, continue to disrupt the party's unity and health of the body. Mao Zedong criticized the "sectarian" thinking is the emergence and development of this historical background.
1929 Nian 12 Yue Mao Zedong in the "correct erroneous ideas about the party," an article critical of the party "selfishness" and "small group mentality" error phenomenon. He pointed out that "cliquism only pay attention to the interests of their own small groups, pay attention to the interests of the whole, not as individuals on the surface, actually contains a very narrow individualism, also has a strong corrosive and centrifugal effect." On small group critique is opposed to the initial development of the party of Mao Zedong thought "sectarian."
According to the information now to be investigated, the first official mention of Mao Zedong "sectarianism" in May 1937. At the time of the National Conference of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong pointed out: "Our party in the mass movements, there is a serious closed-door, high-slow 'sectarianism' and adventurism traditional tendencies." "Sectarian" He mentioned here mainly it refers to some people in the united front to repel non-Party people and the attitude of contempt. After Mao Zedong began on different occasions and different meetings on "sectarian" as a false ideological tendencies and behavior critically.
1941 Mao Zedong made a report against "subjectivism" and "sectarianism" in the center of the September meeting, he pointed out that " 'sectarianism' is a trend crowding out non-Party cadres, namely xenophobia At the same time also ranked within. assertion of independence, does not obey the resolution, undisciplined phenomenon, we must rectify. "February 1942, Mao Zedong as" rectify the Party's work style "speech on the" sectarian nature ", the performance and harm made of induction and harsh criticism of the system. Reports indicate "sectarian" nature is "an expression of subjectivism in organizational relations," and cited "factionalism" in the party outside the party's performance. The first is in the party "assert independence", resulting in foreign cadres and local cadres are not united, army officers and local officials disunity between the "army of several parts, the relationship between several departments between several places, the same is true. "followed by the non-party '' for the performance of" many of our comrades, like non-Party personnel arrogant sectarianism, can not afford to see people, and despised others, this is the 'sectarianism' tendencies. "Mao also profound analysis a "sectarian" harm, stating that "the internal 'sectarianism' tendency to produce internal row resistance, hinder the party's unity and solidarity; external 'sectarianism' tendency to produce exclusivity, hinder the cause of party unity of the people. eradicate the seeds of these two aspects can the Party advance unimpeded in its unity and solidarity of the National people's Party comrades in the great cause. "
1942 Nian 7 14, Ren Bishi at the central Party School as" on strengthening the Party decision "in the title of the report, some of which were devoted to oppose sectarianism. He said: sectarianism is a manifestation of impure party spirit. Sectarianism was referred to our party can completely isolate, can our party was referred to the internal disunity, and even the disintegration of our party. What is called sectarianism? For the next perfect definition of sectarianism is very difficult, in general, the party's interests, the interests of the revolution brought to obey the local interests of the few, which in general is a kind of sectarianism. In other words, their personal interests and the interests of the party and the interests of the local and overall interests of the opposition, noting that only individuals and local interests, then, this situation is likely to form sectarian tendencies or sectarianism. Sectarianism mainly, is to produce exclusive of non-Party, resulting in the discharge of the party.
He said: exclusivity sectarian, often make some comrades to show our party is very brilliant, look down on others, if only the people inside our party is the best, most revolutionary, the other our people can not keep up, do not deserve the same with us. Such exclusivity to the formation of our party outside the closed doors that closed the door and start a revolution to be successful. Sectarian exclusivity so that our party and the basic masses - the workers and peasants are not close, and we sympathize with people who are less close, isolated with them. Our basic molecular masses there are many progressive consciousness, and sectarians do not want them to be added to our Party, to close them, they did not think the benefits for us. These people are the basic requirements of life of the masses is not a big concern, not to fight for their demands. Sectarian sympathy for the revolutionaries outside the Party is the attitude of contempt that only our party is revolutionary, the other class of people is not necessarily revolutionary, even counter-revolutionary. This allows our party from our basic masses, rejected all possible allies.
He said: within the row of sectarianism have a variety of manifestations. Some showed selfishness, is the only pay attention to the interests of this sector of their work, the local interests and the interests of the whole of the opposition; some showed small group mentality, or minority small group activities. Sectarian clique mostly by the relationship between fellow students, formed the same family. If you have a certain base is a branch of the family arranged for other family who are repelled. Some are students, fellow, even with the country in which to study, a number of such relationships to combine. There is also a performance is even more powerful, fighting for independence doctrine the party opposite, anti-concentration of decentralization trouble, trouble unprincipled disputes; some even combine a few open defiance of the party's resolution, and public opposition to the party's line and policies, become the politics of anti-party factionalism. Such fighting for independence, the result of trouble faction, resulting in disorganized state of the party, the party divided this part, that part can not become a cohesive unit. Some sectarian trouble such people, although there are a variety of performance, but the basic point of departure or individualism, selfish individuals, part of the overall interests of the interests of the party's opposition, some have attempted to political .
