The primary stage of socialism is easily influenced by the non-socialist factors such as feudalism，imperialist and capitalism in the ideological field, namely the perniciousness from feudalism and the ideological malice from the bourgeoisie such as liberalism and mammonism. The latter, with the strong support of the western capitalist camp, is becoming the largest menace to a socialist society: in the economic field, the western preach market power,“market omnipotence”, and the absolutization of market power; in the political field,they propaganda the western democratic political system of“constitutional democracy”and“check and balance”for its wider implementation; in that of culture,they advocate the so-called tolerance, value diversity, the so-called freedom of the press, and freedom of public opinion. The ideological struggle suggests a deeper layer in the great struggle. In this regard, we should oppose all kinds of backward and decadent ideas, consolidate the ideological position in the primary stage of socialism, effectively oppose liberalism, and create a favorable condition to eliminate the harm of liberalism; we should also implement the

responsibility system of ideological work, guarantee the achievements of ideological struggle through the rule of law, and actively learn from the failures of the Soviet Union and other socialist societies to gain the initiative of the ideological struggle with self-conscious combating awareness.
