新时期爱国统一战线与群众路线有着密不可分的关系。群众观点作为马克思历史唯物主义的基本观点 ,是统一战线理论的一个基石 ,而体现群众观点的群众路线是中国共产党的一贯思想和优良作风 ,是我们党的统一战线的力量源泉。因此 ,新时期的爱国统一战线必须坚持党的群众路线 ;而巩固和扩大新时期爱国统一战线 ,更要正确有效地贯彻党的群众路线。只有这样 ,才能最大限度地团结和组织广大群众积极投身于建设有中国特色的社会主义事业 ,实现中华民族的振兴和发展 The patriotic united front in the new era has a close relationship with the mass line. The mass viewpoint as the basic point of Marxist historical materialism is one of the cornerstones of the united front theory. The mass line embodying the masses’ point of view is the consistent thinking and fine style of the Chinese Communist Party and the source of strength for our party’s united front. Therefore, the patriotic united front in the new era must adhere to the party’s mass line; and to consolidate and expand the patriotic united front in the new era, it is also necessary to correctly and effectively implement the party’s mass line. Only in this way can we unite and organize the masses as much as possible to actively engage in the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the rejuvenation and development of the Chinese nation
