ABSTRACT
Marxism views political parties both as the product of class struggle and as the instrument of class struggle. In a class society, if a certain class wants to mobilize and organize its strength to defeat hostile classes in order to seize and consolidate political power and establish and maintain its control over the whole society, then it needs to build an organization and leadership which will represent its own class interests and bring together the will of that class, that is, a political party. The Chinese Communist Party is the political party of the proletariat; it is the vanguard of the proletariat established according to the revolutionary theory and in the revolutionary style of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought. The Chinese Communist Party is the party of the proletariat, furthermore, because the Party epitomizes the basic interests and class will of the proletariat and seeks to enhance the interests of the majority of the people of China and the world.
