Party spirit

"Party spirit" is a term originated in Marxism–Leninism. It is translated as Dangxing (Chinese: 党性) in Chinese, Partiinost (партийность) in Russian and Parteilichkeit in German. It can be variously translated as party-mindedness, partisanship, or party spirit. The term can refer to both a philosophical position concerning the sociology of knowledge and an official doctrine of public intellectual life in the Soviet Union. The term may also mean the membership of a person in a certain political party.
