Lin Biao -- On the Consolidation and Building of the Party - Page 8
We must strive to ensure that the leadership of Party organizations at all
levels is truly in the hands of Marxists. We must see to it that the Party
members really integrate theory with practice, maintain close ties with the
masses and are holding criticism and self-criticism. We must see to it that the
Party members will always keep to the style of being modest, prudent and free
from arrogance and rashness and to the style of arduous struggle and plain
living. Only thus will the Party be able to lead the proletariat and the
revolutionary masses in carrying the socialist revolution to the end.
The study and spread of the basic experience of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the study and spread of the history of the struggle between the two lines and the study and spread of Chairman Mao's theory of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat must be conducted not just once but should be repeated every year, every month, every day. Only thus will it be possible for the masses of Party members and the people to criticize and resist erroneous lines and tendencies the moment they emerge, and it will be possible to guarantee that our Party will always forge ahead victoriously along the correct course charted by Chairman Mao. ⇦ Back to Page 7 Return to Lin Biao's Speech Choices On to Page 9 ⇨ |
