Abstract:

It is proposed in the Resolution Approved at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the CPC: “The continuous success of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism has showed a brand-new image of Marxism in the front of the world.” The “brand-new image” means the feelings that Marxism brings to people in terms of values. It is a new notion that marks our understanding of Marxism has entered a new realm. We must study deeply, cherish, protect and develop this new image of Marxism by combining the history of Marxism and that of the Party. The issue of the image of Marxism is about different types of Marxism. To put it in MAO Ze-dong’s words, the good image of Marxism can be called fragrant and vibrant Marxism, that is, correct and scientific Marxism that can be tested by practice and be accepted by common people, rather than flagrant or dead Marxism. By comparing the value of the Soviet-mode of socialist movements in the world with false and true versions of Marxism in the Party’s history, we can get the conclusion that the CPC is brave enough to free our mind, carries out theoretical innovation continuously and answers in a scientific way the issue of China, the issue of the world, the issue of people and that of the time in order to strive the cause of the Party and the nation to march forward continuously and to maintain the vitality and persuasion of Marxism endlessly.

Key words: Resolution Approved at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the CPC, the brand-new image of Marxism, Soviet-mode
