第一,马克思主义理论功底。江泽民同志在国庆40周年大会上的讲话中指出:“一个缺乏马克思主义理论素养,不善于运用正确的立场、观点、方法分析和解决问题的共产党员,不可能发挥应有的作用,更不可能成为党的合格的领导干部。”跨世纪领导干部只有认真学习、研究、宣传和运用马列主义、毛泽东思想,才能明辨是非,站稳立场,驾驭全局。第二,坚持四项基本原则,反对资产阶级自由化。能否坚持四项基本原则是跨世纪领导干部政治素质高低的重要标志。坚持四项基本原则,必须反对资产阶级自由化。因为,顽固坚持资产阶级自由化的人拼命反对的就是四项基本原则。他们美化资本主义,鼓吹政治多元化,大肆宣扬资产阶级世界观、人生观、价值观、个人主义、利己主义、拜金主义和唯利 First, the foundation of Marxist theory. Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out in his speech at the 40th anniversary of the National Day: “A Communist member who lacks theoretical knowledge of Marxism and who is not good at using correct positions, opinions and methods to analyze and solve problems can not play its due role, Become qualified cadres of the party. ”Only by earnestly studying, studying, propagandizing and using Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought can the leading cadres of the 21st century ascertain right and wrong and stand firm and control the overall situation. Second, we must uphold the four cardinal principles and oppose the liberalization of the bourgeoisie. Whether the four basic principles can be adhered to or not is an important symbol of the political quality of leading cadres across the centuries. Adhere to the four cardinal principles, we must oppose bourgeois liberalization. For those who stubbornly persist in their opposition to bourgeois liberalization are the four basic principles. They beautified capitalism, advocated political pluralism, and vigorously promoted the bourgeois world outlook, outlook on life, values, individualism, egoism, money worship and mercenaryism
