Essence and Position of People-First Politics
The revolutionary idea of the respected General Secretary
The essence of the people-first politics is that it is the political mode to absolutely protect the people’s dignity, rights and interests, solve all the problems thoroughly depending on the popular masses and serve the people.
The people-first politics totally accords with the people-first political idea on the points of character and content. This means the people-first principle is our Party’s political idea and political mode.
The position of the people-first politics is the basic political mode under socialism.
The people-first politics is the political mode which integrates the demands of independent politics, democratic politics and benevolent politics and thoroughly realizes them.
The people-first politics is the political mode of correctly embodying and materializing the demand of independent politics. It is the politics fully realizing the demand of the independent politics by safeguarding the safety of the state and people and achieving prosperity and development of the state with self-support and self-efforts. Here is the reason that the people-first politics is the basic political mode under socialism.
The people-first politics is the political mode which correctly embodies and realizes the demand of the democratic politics. It is the politics which thoroughly materializes the demand of the democratic politics by putting forward the popular masses as the masters of politics, providing the masses with genuine freedom, rights and worthwhile and happy life and realizing their ideals and desires depending on them. Here is another reason that the people-first politics becomes the basic political mode under socialism.
The people-first politics is the political mode which embodies the demand of the benevolent politics on the noblest level.
The people-first politics is also the political mode which should be held fast to during the whole period of carrying out socialist cause.
Socialist system is the society based on collectivism and success or failure of the socialist construction depends on how to defend and sustain the original feature and advantages of socialist collectivism.
The people-first politics realizes the Party’s monolithic leadership and the state’s integrated guidance, thoroughly sustains the principle of collectivism in all the sectors of social life, protects the people’s health and safety and steadily increases popular policies so that all the people can enjoy equal and stable life.
The main driving force for development of socialist society is the high revolutionary enthusiasm and creative ingenuity of the people who are equipped with independent consciousness and closely rallied around the Party.
The people-first politics surely realizes modeling the Party and the revolutionary ranks on the monolithic idea, its organizational unity and moral obligation unity and leads the revolution and construction to victory by dint of single-hearted unity and harmonious whole of the people.
