Historical materialism is the theoretical basis of communist outlook on life, which is the concrete embodiment of historical materialism on the issue of outlook on life. Only by learning and mastering the basic viewpoints of historical materialism and observing and thinking about life problems under its guidance can we establish a communist outlook on life. Therefore, studying historical materialism has a decisive influence on establishing a communist outlook on life.
Specifically:?
(1) Studying historical materialism can guide people to establish the purpose of communism in life. The purpose of life is the ideal of life, and the communist outlook on life regards realizing communism as the highest purpose of life, which is determined by the basic position of historical materialism.
According to the viewpoint of historical materialism, the proletariat regards communism as the highest ideal, which is not a fantasy or fantasy, but an objective requirement of the law of social development and a conscious understanding of this objective requirement by the proletariat. Therefore, we should strengthen our socialist beliefs and fight for communism. ?
(2) Learning historical materialism can guide people to establish correct life values. The value of people is an important issue in the outlook on life, including why people live and to whom it is meaningful, but it is fundamentally the relationship between people and society. Historical materialism holds that individuals cannot be divorced from society and the collective, and the nature and planning of individual roles depend on the times and social groups to which they belong.
We must evaluate the value of the individual from the relationship between the individual and society, and combine the individual's responsibility to society with the society's respect for the individual. Whether a person has value depends on whether he has contributed to social progress and how much. Therefore, the communist outlook on life advocates collectivism that contributes to the collective and society. ?
(3) Learning historical materialism can guide people to establish a correct attitude towards life. Attitude towards life is the concrete embodiment of life purpose and life values, which is manifested in how to treat the ups and downs on the road of life, sharing weal and woe, sharing life and death, sharing righteousness and interests.
Historical materialism holds that social development is realized in the contradictory movement, and there will be twists and turns or even temporary retrogression in its development process, but the general trend of social development is forward, and communist party people's optimistic attitude towards life is based on their profound understanding of the objective inevitability of social development. Therefore, the communist attitude towards life is not afraid of temporary setbacks, personal sacrifice, and actively and optimistically devoted to the liberation of the proletariat. ?
(4) Learning historical materialism points out the correct way to establish a communist outlook on life. According to historical materialism, social life is practical in essence. This requires people to devote themselves to social practice and transform their own subjective world while transforming the objective world. This is the correct way to establish a communist outlook on life.
