官僚主义古已有之,但在现代政治生活中却有新的表现。官僚主义危害深远,不仅影响了党群关系,还动摇了党的执政基础,危及党的执政地位。它的产生既有历史的思想根源,也有现实体制的原因。根除官僚主义必须明确当官为谁掌权,怎样当官以及如何当好官的道理,这是我们反对官僚主义,坚持群众路线的基本条件、重要保障和有力武器。 Bureaucracy has existed for a long time, but it has a new performance in modern political life. Bureaucratism has far-reaching consequences. It not only affects the relations between the party and the masses, but also shakes the party’s governing foundation and endangers the party’s ruling status. It produces both the ideological roots of history, but also the reasons for the reality of the system. Eradicating bureaucracy must make it clear who the government officials are for power, how to be officials, and how to be good officials. This is a basic condition, an important guarantee, and a powerful weapon for our opposition to bureaucracy and for upholding the mass line.
