从中国共产党初创的20世纪20年代起,党内便开始了反腐败斗争,并与当时残酷激烈的对敌斗争交织在一起,成为纯洁内部、保持党的战斗力的不可或缺的一环。在中国共产党建立初期,党的经费一直很困难。当时国内在各派反动军阀黑暗统治下,根本没有自由结社集会的民主权利,共产党只能在秘密状态下活动,更无法从社会上募得资金。早期参加党的人又多是两袖清风的知识分子和贫苦工人,按照党章缴纳党费大多是象征性的表示,许多脱离了原有职业而转入秘密活动的革命 Since the start of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1920s, the party started the anti-corruption struggle and was intertwined with the brutal and fierce hostility to the enemy at that time, thus becoming an indispensable part of its internal purity and maintaining the party’s combat effectiveness.
