Where is the scale of Chongqing’s observation and criticism？

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that we should make good use of the weapon of criticism and self-criticism. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out: "Use the weapons of criticism and self-criticism to continuously purify the political ecology within the Party."

However, in some units nowadays, criticism has become a rare "rare thing". At the democratic life meeting, it is common to go through the motions and put on airs when criticizing, unwilling to criticize, unable to criticize, unable to criticize and afraid to criticize.

Criticism, what should be criticized? How to effectively carry out criticism and self-criticism?

Criticism is difficult. In the final analysis, it is difficult in scale. The scale is unknown, which makes the function of criticism fail, and then produces a series of problems:

Criticize yourself for passing by.Self-criticism requires "cutting the knife inward". Some cadres in party member lack such courage, but instead turn self-criticism into "self-exculpatory", looking for objective reasons for their subjective problems, unable to learn from the omissions in their work and draw inferences from others. In other places, self-criticism has been turned into "expressing determination", and problem analysis has been replaced by slogan words such as "need to be strengthened", "need to be deepened" and "continue to work hard", which makes criticism full of formalism.

Criticizing colleagues is irrelevant.In reality, some party member wanted to be a "nice guy" because of his feelings and fear of touching contradictions, or used words skillfully to escape criticism, or his criticism was irrelevant and trivial. What is more noteworthy is that some mutual criticisms are not practical, but are mixed with frictions and unpleasantness in work and life, making criticism a pretext for taking revenge.

Criticizing leaders and praising them in disguise.What we can see is that some democratic lives tend to turn into "tea parties" and "boasting parties", which is more obvious when criticizing leaders for such "upward criticism". Some people are clever, and they criticize the leaders with praise, such as "working too hard and not paying attention to rest" and "demanding too much of themselves", joking and "shocking", which further dispels the seriousness of the criticism.

Criticize subordinates for "lightning and thunder". When some leading cadres criticize their subordinates, they use power to oppress others and bring officialdom to the democratic life within the party, or they are cold-faced and sarcastic; Or "thunder and lightning", furious. Emphasizing emotion over reality and gravity over temperature makes criticism a weapon to show authority, rather than a tool to urge and remind, which increases the difficulty of work and keeps subordinates at a respectful distance.

As we all know, to err is human, but why can’t criticism be carried out? The root cause of the disease is not only the scale of human feelings, but also the inadequate implementation of the system.

Fear of losing points makes self-criticism difficult.For some cadres in party member, self-criticism is easier said than done. Behind it, there is nothing more than fear of criticizing themselves for "doing all kinds of harm without any benefit". It is believed that it is not conducive to personal development to "put out" mistakes frankly and "highlight" shortcomings without reservation, and may even be "missed" by leaders. In the face of mass work, they are often worried that admitting mistakes will damage their image and reduce their prestige, and then they will prevaricate and avoid the important when they criticize themselves.

It is difficult to criticize leaders for fear of falling out of favor.Some party member said that in practical work, it is difficult to let subordinates criticize leaders and subordinates criticize superiors, and it is even more difficult to implement the system. Some comrades are worried about affecting their future, worrying about "sitting on the bench" and avoiding criticizing leadership. Such concerns exist objectively. However, in many places, there is a routine system to carry out criticism meetings, but there is a lack of determination to criticize and a guarantee system for people to speak, which makes criticism have no soil.

It is difficult to criticize colleagues for fear of hurting others.Many grass-roots work often needs to connect the inside and outside of the department, break through barriers and work together, which will certainly lead to differences in working methods and even friction in working concepts. However, some places have formed a "tacit understanding" about mutual criticism, thinking that criticism will only affect unity, and harmony is the most important thing. They criticize others again and again, and over time, when they work together, they will only "face to face" and make the work full of loopholes.

It is difficult to criticize subordinates for fear of losing tickets.Many leading cadres do not rely on their ability to win the hearts of the people. Instead, they use criticism and other systems as props to display their political skills: or they form gangs to form small groups, so that the scales of criticism are different; Or let the criticism "deform" and "spoil", sometimes "give a candy", treat each other gently, and sometimes "slap" and criticize.

In the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in 1945, Comrade Mao Zedong proposed that "criticism and self-criticism" was one of the "three major styles" of our Party. Generations of communist party people regard this as a "weapon" and a "good medicine", and they regularly introspect themselves. Once they smell it, they will change it, so that our Party can always be full of vitality.

At present, the study and education of party discipline is being carried out. How to give full play to the Party’s fine tradition and continue to polish the "sharp weapon" of criticism and self-criticism has become an urgent task for everyone in communist party.

Criticism is a good medicine. You should be able to taste the bitter taste.Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for illness, but advice when most unpleasant is good for action. In the face of criticism from leaders, comrades and the masses, we must be able to smell it and be happy, have a correct attitude, and humbly "seek medicine." Only by drinking the bitter medicine of criticism can we get the root of the disease at work.

We should be able to put forward outstanding problems through criticism, and even more, we should come up with a "timetable", "road map" and "suit the remedy to the case" after criticism, and strive for rectification. A criticism with "bitter taste" can make the criticized person reflect deeply in the "bitter taste", make efforts to correct mistakes, urge people to repent and forge ahead, and then become mature.

Criticism should also focus on methods and measures, and be rich in "rustic flavor".Scientific criticism is based on careful investigation and study. Before criticism, we should make full preparations, sum up the real problems through the investigation of "feet stained with dirt", and make real criticism, so as to be convincing. We can’t help but understand the situation, let alone judge and analyze right and wrong out of thin air.

In addition, we should not criticize behind closed doors, but also put forward objective and accurate criticism in words that the masses can understand and are willing to listen to, so that criticism can enter the mind and play its role.

Don’t let criticism "go through the motions" and take out "the smell of gunpowder".No rules, no Fiona Fang. On the issue of discipline, criticism should show its strength. At present, some young cadres have embarked on the wrong path. They are not ignorant of the law, but slack in spirit. The reason behind this is the long-term lack of criticism and self-criticism. Imagine that if criticism can be pragmatic, sharp and strong, it can also bring shock, and then urge cadres to always reflect on themselves and be strict with themselves.

Criticism is also caring, and we can’t lose the "human touch".The depth of love is the cut of responsibility. A person who really cares about you will always pay attention to you, remind you and criticize you, and dare to accept criticism, which is also in response to this sincerity, allowing criticism to resolve differences and promote growth.

As a party member, we should not only be frank and open-minded, but also tell the truth to our comrades, see the truth in criticism and self-criticism, and strengthen party spirit. We should not only point out mistakes, but also pay attention to correcting and avoiding them, and "teach and guide" through criticism, so that comrades can "diagnose and treat each other" and "detoxify in time".

We call for criticism because scientific and effective criticism is a bitter medicine to improve the progress ladder of work and correct shortcomings. We hope that "the weapons of criticism and self-criticism should be used in many ways, often used and used well enough to make it a habit, a consciousness and a responsibility."
