"When seeking unity through struggle, unity will survive; when seeking unity through concessions, unity will perish."
In his instructions to the Party on March 21, 1940, Mao Zedong said in his instructions to the Party "Current Strategic Issues in the Anti-Japanese United Front", "Struggle is a means of unity, and unity is the purpose of struggle. When seeking unity through struggle, unity will perish; when seeking unity through concessions, unity will perish."
At that time, the Anti-Japanese War had entered the stalemate stage. In order to ensure the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, expanding and consolidating the Anti-Japanese United Front was a very critical strategic measure. The expansion and consolidation of the united front requires a clear understanding of the forces of all parties. The instructions clearly define the strategic ideas for developing new forces, winning over the middle forces, and fighting against the diehards.
On this basis, struggle is to achieve unity, and unity requires struggle to be realistic. The enemy will not automatically give up resistance, and struggle is inevitable.
In today's international situation, in order to stabilize internal conflicts in the country, the United States has launched a trade war against China and provoked the Russian-Ukrainian war through some external means. The Western capitalist country led by the United States has suppressed the development of socialist country represented by China through various means, and its purpose is obvious.
And when we use the sentence "When we seek unity through struggle, we will unite and survive; when we seek unity through concessions, we will unite and perish" to look at China's current actions, we can easily understand the correctness of it. First of all, new forces need to be developed, so the Belt and Road Initiative emerged, and a cooperative relationship was established with the countries of the third world in and the "mass base". Secondly, striving for middle forces is to win over some swinging countries through cooperation or diplomacy and become allies. Finally, and most importantly, we need to be prepared to fight the diehards, not afraid of struggle, and have the courage to fight.
The goal of the struggle is to demonstrate our confidence and determination, and not to give up the possibility of cooperation. If you blindly want to achieve unity with a unity attitude, the consequences will be painful.
During Yeltsin's reign, he wanted to devote himself to Europe's embrace, so that Russia could restore its capitalist system and promote market-oriented reforms. So I believed in Western countries to deceive the economy into implementing "shock therapy". The economy was close to collapse and a large number of high-quality state-owned assets were lost. Russia's request to join , NATO was rejected by Western countries, and in the end nothing was obtained, which put the country in disaster.
History is like a wheel, and its trajectory is always surprisingly similar. We need to learn history from historical events, recognize that reality is also a part of history, and pursue equal unity with a struggle mentality.
