毛泽东廉政思想是毛泽东同志关于执掌各类政治权力的机关和个人,要严守法纪、廉洁从政、秉公尽职、艰苦奋斗、当好人民公仆,而不要以权谋私、行贿受贿、奢侈浪费、贪赃枉法的思想。毛泽东廉政思想的基本特征可以从两方面加以探讨:一是把毛泽东廉政思想放到中国社会的大环境之中,放到毛泽东思想的整体结构之中去探讨。这样做,可以看到它的中国特色以及它与毛泽东其它思想乃至马克思主义廉政思想的联系。二是从毛泽东廉政思想的整体内容去概括。关于毛泽东廉政思想的整体内容,我们概括为一个“纲”、三个“目”、几条以“纲”带“目”的措施。一个“纲”是指权力属于人民,掌握各类权力的机关和个人应该用权力为人民服务。毛泽东始终认为,既然我们的权力是人民给的,那么我们只能用权力为人民服务,而不应该以权谋 Mao Zedong Thought of Honest Administration is the thought and principle of Comrade Mao Tse-tung that organs and individuals in charge of various political powers should strictly abide by laws and regulations, cleanly administer politics, do their due diligence, work hard and become good public servants, and not abuse their power for personal gains, bribes, extravagance and waste. The basic characteristics of Mao Zedong's thought of building an honest and clean government can be explored in two aspects: First, to put Mao Zedong's thought of building an honest and clean government into the general context of Chinese society and into the overall structure of Mao Zedong Thought. In doing so, we can see its Chinese characteristics as well as its connection with Mao Zedong Thought and even Marxist thought of clean government. The second is to summarize the whole content of Mao Zedong Thought of Honest and Clean Government. As for the overall content of Mao Zedong's thought of building an honest and clean government, we summed up as a “program” and “three” goals, with several measures that take the “outline” as a “head”. A “platform” means that power belongs to the people and organs and individuals that have various kinds of power should use their power to serve the people. Mao Zedong has always held that since our power is given by the people, we can only use the power to serve the people and should not be conspiratorial
