Abstract:
The issue of historical view is an important question that influences people’s correct understanding and learning from historical experience, and it is also the basic content of the construction of national ideology. Historical materialism is the basic viewpoint and methodology that guides the proletariat to recognize history and explore the law of historical development, and it is the only scientific conception of society and history and historical research methods. At present, we attempt to shake the scientific position of historical materialism in the name of academic research for historical nihilism. The attempts of subversion and rewriting of people creating history must be thoroughly exposed. Only by using historical materialism to criticize historical nihilism, can we thoroughly expose the theoretical essence of the historical nihilism, its hypocrisy, misleading and strong political appeal, so as to consolidate the guiding position of Marxist thought and promote the healthy and normal development of human social history. Historical nihilism negates the history of Chinese civilization and the whole Chinese nation in the name of “reconsidering history” and “reinterpreting history”, negates the history of all the revolutions since modern times, especially Chinese new democratic revolution and the construction of socialist revolution, and negates the guidance of Marxist thoughts and the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which have the serious tendencies of subjectivism, idealism and metaphysics. It preaches that capitalism dominates everything——everything should serve and obey the “capital logic” produced by the capitalist surplus value. Historical nihilism, negating revolution, highly praising reform and advocating abstract human nature and extreme individualism, is a genuine idealist conception of history. In the final analysis, it opposes China’s socialist road.
