Summary
Comrade Mao Tse-tung is the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our
era. He has inherited, defended and developed Marxism-Leninism
with genius, creatively and comprehensively, and has brought it
to a higher and completely new stage. Mao Tse-tung's thought is Marxism-Leninism of the era in
which imperialism is heading for total collapse and socialism
is advancing to world-wide victory. It is a powerful
ideological weapon for opposing imperialism and for opposing
revisionism and dogmatism. Mao Tse-tung's thought is the
guiding principle for all the work of the Party, the army and
the country. Therefore, the most fundamental task in our Party's
political and ideological work is at all times to hold high the
great red banner of Mao Tse-tung's thought, to arm the minds of
the people throughout the country with it and to persist in
using it to command every field of activity. The broad masses
of the workers, peasants and soldiers and the broad ranks of
the revolutionary cadres and the intellectuals should really
master Mao Tse-tung's thought; they should all study Chairman
Mao's writings, follow his teachings, act according to his
instructions and be his good fighters. In studying the works of Chairman Mao, one should have
specific problems in mind, study and apply his works in a
creative way, combine study with application, first study what
must be urgently applied so as to get quick results, and strive
hard to apply what one is studying. In order really to master
Mao Tse-tung's thought, it is essential to study many of
Chairman Mao's basic concepts over and over again, and it is
best to memorize important statements and study and apply them
repeatedly. The newspapers should regularly carry quotations
from Chairman Mao relevant to current issues for readers to
study and apply. The experience of the broad masses in their creative study
and application of Chairman Mao's works in the last few years
has proved that to study selected quotations from Chairman Mao
with specific problems in mind is a good way to learn Mao
Tse-tung's thought, a method conducive to quick results. We have compiled Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung in
order to help the broad masses learn Mao Tse-tung's thought
more effectively. In organizing their study, units should
select passages that are relevant to the situation, their
tasks, the current thinking of their personnel, and the state
of their work. In our great motherland, a new era is emerging in which the
workers, peasants and soldiers are grasping Marxism-Leninism,
Mao Tse-tung's thought. Once Mao Tse-tung's thought is grasped
by the broad masses, it becomes an inexhaustible source of
strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power. The
large-scale publication of Quotations from Chairman Mao
Tse-tung is a vital measure for enabling the broad masses to
grasp Mao Tse-tung's thought and for promoting the
revolutionization of our people's thinking. It is our hope that
all comrades will learn earnestly and diligently, bring about a
new nation-wide high tide in the creative study and application
of Chairman Mao's works, and, under the great red banner of Mao
Tse-tung's thought, strive to build our country into a great
socialist state with modern agriculture, modern industry,
modern science and culture and modern national defence! **
