Abstract: Marxist - Leninist philosophy is a system of dialectical materialistic views on the movement and change of the material world and human society. It is a radical, complete, scientific and revolutionary philosophical system, which crystallizes the quintessence of human philosophical thought. The article asserts Marxist - Leninist philosophy is not only a “theoretical weapon” in the liberation struggle of the proletariat and the working people but also a worldview and methodology to be aware of the transformation of the contemporary world. The hostile forces are constantly distorting and denying the role of the worldview and methodology of Marxist - Leninist philosophy. The article clearly points out that the identification and struggle against reactionary and hostile views not only protects Marxism - Leninism but also protects the ideological foundation of the Party.

Keywords: Marxism - Leninism, philosophy, ideological foundation of the Party.
