Abstract

In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, hostile forces are exploiting the trend of “intellectualization” to propagate the argument that “intellectuals replace the working class" aiming to deny the historical mission of the working class and the leadership role of the Party. This article focuses on refuting the logical fallacy of conflating intellectual standards with class status, while clarifying the dialectical movement between the processes of “intellectualizing workers” and “proletarianizing intellectuals”. The author affirms that the qualitative growth of the intellectual working class is the decisive factor in social labor productivity and serves as a “steel shield” protecting the Party’s ideological foundation.

Keywords: Era of national rise, intellectual workers, intellectualization, protecting the ideological foundation, working class.
