Marx, starting from the basic principles of historical materialism and through his critique of the premises of ideology, fully revealed the instrumental and hypocritical nature of bourgeois ideology and finally came to the scientific conclusion that capitalism was bound to perish. The present world is still capitalist-dominated, and the bourgeois ideology is the general source of contemporary global chaos, whose attempts to infiltrate, penetrate and subvert socialist countries remain unchanged. The contemporary value of Marx’s critique of the bourgeois ideology lies in enabling us to maintain a clear understanding of the long-term, complex and severe nature of the struggle in the field of ideology, to realise the“Two Consolidations”in the struggle, and to grasp through comparison the relationship between the two systems. In the course of development, the essence of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the superiority of its system will be manifested, and the“Four Confidence”will be firmly established.
