We have to wage a protracted struggle against bourgeois and petty bourgeois ideology. It is wrong not to understand this.
Speech at the Chinese Communist Party’s National Conference on Propaganda Work (March 12, 1957)
All erroneous ideas, all poisonous weeds, all ghosts and monsters, must be subjected to criticism; in no circumstance should they be allowed to spread unchecked. However, the criticism should be fully reasoned, analytical and convincing, and not rough, bureaucratic, metaphysical or dogmatic.
Ibid. → “kill the birds”… ?
The revisionists deny the differences between socialism and capitalism, between the dictatorship of the proletariat and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. What they advocate is in fact not the socialist line but the capitalist line. In present circumstances, revisionism is more pernicious than dogmatism.
Ibid.
We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports.
Interview with Three Correspondents from the Central News Agency, the Sao Tang Pao and the Hsin Min Pao (September 16, 1939)
I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy.
“To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing” (May 26, 1939)
The revisionists, the Right opportunists, pay lip service to Marxism; they too attack “dogmatism”. However, what they are really attacking is the quintessence of Marxism. They oppose or distort materialism and dialectics, oppose or try to weaken the people’s democratic dictatorship and the leading role of the Communist Party, and oppose or try to weaken socialist transformation and socialist construction.
