Seeking truth from facts is also the viewpoint of historical materialism. Historicism and materialism are organically linked and integrated. To adhere to historicism, we must adhere to materialism, oppose bureaucracy, subjective assumptions, nihilism and mysticism, and oppose all forms of fantasy and recklessness. Only by respecting the objective situation and the objective reality can we formulate principles and routes that conform to the law, win the cause, and avoid detours as little as possible. The rural commune designed by Mao Zedong overestimated the ideological quality and moral quality of the people at that time, and adopted an over-ideal social model without strict rules and regulations, scientific budget and discipline requirements, thus making many people with low moral level take the slow and opportunistic road, making many people with low management level take the leadership positions, and joining some people with ulterior motives to incite and undermine our cause.
Understand the historical situation clearly, make use of all favorable conditions and opportunities, dare to change, and promote the development of human society to a higher material civilization and spiritual civilization. Adhere to the historical materialism, but also to prevent those "dogmatism, conservatism" and other rigid use of historical materialism. If you can't clearly understand the situation and historical development trend, and are afraid or unwilling to change, you may miss the development opportunity and cause irreparable losses to your future career. For example, in today's increasingly fierce competition, increasingly complex situation, increasingly tense energy, a large number of unstable factors, very powerful corrupt forces, and multiple contradictions in moral understanding, and so on. If we can't be far-sighted, take precautions and take a series of decisive measures as soon as possible, strengthen national defense, fight corruption and promote honesty, benefit the people, unify our thinking, strengthen moral education and develop relationships around us, it will inevitably bring uncontrollable losses to our cause.
Historical materialism: it is a philosophical theory about the universal law of human social development and a scientific historical view. Historical materialism points out that the fundamental cause of all historical events is material richness, and the development of social history has its inherent objective laws. The mode of production of material life determines the general process of social life, political life and spiritual life; Social existence determines social consciousness, and social consciousness reacts on social existence; The contradiction between productivity and production relations, the contradiction between economic base and superstructure are the basic contradictions to promote all social development. In class society, the basic social contradiction is class struggle, which is the direct driving force for the development of class society; The highest form of class struggle is to carry out social revolution and seize state power; The history of social development is the history of people's practical activities, and the people are the creators of history, but the activities and functions of the people in creating history are always restricted by the economic, political and ideological and cultural conditions in a certain historical stage.
