Lin Biao -- Policies of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution - Page 5
In units where the purification of the class ranks is by large completed, it is
necessary to take firm hold of other tasks in keeping with Chairman Mao's
instructions concerning the various stages of
struggle-criticism-transformation. At the same time, it is necessary to pay
close attention to new trends in the class struggle. What if the bad people get
unruly again? Chairman Mao has a well-known saying: "thoroughgoing materialists
are fearless." If the class enemies stir up trouble again, just arouse the
masses and strike them down again.
As the
I16-Point Decision
indicates, " The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is a powerful motive
force for the development of the social productive forces of our country.
Our country has seen good harvests in agriculture production for years running
and there is also a thriving situation in industrial production and science
and technology. The enthusiasm of the broad masses of the working people both
in revolution and production has soared to unprecedented heights. Many
factories, mines and other enterprises have time and again topped their
production records, creating all-time highs in production. The technical
revolution is making constant progress. The market is flourishing and prices
are stable. By the end of 1968 we had redeemed all of the national bonds. Our
country is now a socialist country with neither internal nor external debts.
