Abstract

The theory of "ideology" has experienced a process of continuous enrichment and development in the history of Marxist development. Clarifying the evolution of the concept of "ideology" is the basic premise for a correct understanding of the theory of Marxist ideology. The connotation of ideology has gone through a process from negativity to descriptiveness from Marx's "false consciousness" to Lenin's "scientific ideology". On the basis of proposing the theory of "scientific ideology", Lenin further elaborated the theory of ideological leadership. Its core essentials include that the proletarian party's grasp of ideological leadership is its basic principle, the unity of criticality and construction is the essence of its theory, and the theory of ideological indoctrination is its important method and strategy.

Keywords
