The major requirement in ideological education is to combine ideological education with cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings.
Cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings is an undertaking to educate and remould people’s ideology through cultivating elegant emotions and rich feelings among them.
Combining the ideological education with the cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings guarantees effective ideological education of all forms. By nature ideology and emotion are inseparably related to each other. Ideology adds precise ideological purposefulness to emotion, and accumulated emotion brings about ideological change.
In view of the process of establishing revolutionary world outlook, without hatred against exploiter class and exploiting system, it is impossible to have ideological preparedness to uncompromisingly fight against them. Ideology and emotion are closely related and manifested in an integrated way, and therefore, there can not be ideological education ignorant of the people’s emotion.
Combining the ideological education with the cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings is an important requirement to thoroughly thwart the imperialists’ moves for ideological and cultural infiltration.
Imperialists use the corrupt capitalist ideology and culture as a medium to undermine and contaminate socialism. If the bourgeois ideology and culture worshipping individual egoism and perverted animal greed disintegrate the ranks of socialism from within, people’s revolutionary spirit and class character will be paralyzed and the ideological position, the lifeline of socialism will be destroyed.
In order to reject the imperialists’ ideological and cultural infiltration and overpower imperialism ideologically and morally, it is necessary to combine the ideological education with the cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings to make the people possessed of revolutionary ideological consciousness and noble moral traits, cultured emotions and feelings and thoroughly oppose and reject the decadent imperialist ideology and culture.
In order to combine the ideological education with the cultivation of cultured emotions and feelings, it is important to put stress on educating and remoulding the people to be revolutionaries unfailingly loyal to the Party and the leader and use effective and various means of cultured emotions and feelings for regular education.
