Description
I. The Fundamental Characteristics of Marxism Scientific Character: It creatively reveals the laws governing the development of human society. People-Centeredness: For the first time in history, it established an ideological system for the people to realize their own liberation. Standing on the side of the people, it pioneered the quest for the path to human freedom and liberation, and, with scientific theory, pointed out the direction toward the ultimate establishment of an ideal society characterized by no oppression, no exploitation, universal equality, and universal freedom. Practicality: It guides the people's actions to transform the world. Openness to Development: It consistently stands at the forefront of the times. "Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it." Scientifically "interpret the world," actively "change the world." II. The Contemporary Value of Marxism It is a scientific truth that guides the progress of human society by continuously exploring new topics posed by the times and responding to new challenges facing humanity. It serves as a guide for contemporary China's development by integrating the fundamental principles of Marxism with China's concrete realities and with China's fine traditional culture—the "Two Integrations." Mastery of Marxism's fundamental stance, viewpoints, and methods, and grasp of its essence and core principles—these serve as epistemological tools for observing changes in the contemporary world.
