1, ① People are the creators of social material wealth. The social material wealth created by people is the material guarantee for the existence and development of society. This creative role of the masses logically conforms to the principle that productivity is the ultimate decisive force for social development, because working people, as the main body of the masses, are the embodiment of productivity.

② People are the creators of social spiritual wealth. First, people's social practice is the only source of science, culture and art; Secondly, the working people provide all material means and conditions for people to engage in spiritual and cultural activities; Third, labor intellectuals play an extremely important role in the process of creating spiritual wealth.

The people are the decisive force of social change. It is the decisive force of social revolution and social reform. Social revolution and social reform are rooted in the basic social contradictions, but the relations of production must adapt to the law of the development of productive forces and the law that the superstructure must adapt to the development of the economic base. They cannot play a role spontaneously, and their role can only be realized through the people, the main body of social change.
