Wa must not become complacent over any success, We should
eheck our complacency and constantly criticize our short-
comings, just as we should wash our faces or sweep the floor
every day to remove the dirt and kecp them clean
_As for criticiom, do it in good time; don't get into the habit
of criticizing’ only after the event.
“ote ' Oo Taught by mistakes and setbacks, we have become wiser and han-
dle our affairs better. It is hard for any political party
or person to avoid mistakes, but we should make as few as
possible. Once a mistake is made, we should correct it, and
the more quickly and thoroughly the better. |
LIBERALISM
Liberalism manifests itself in various ways.
° ' «fo let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship
when a pweson has clearly gone wrong, end refrain from prin-
cipled argument because he is an old acquaintancé, a fellow
tovwnsman, a schrolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old
colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter
lightly instead of going into in thoroughly, so as to keep
on good terms. The result is that both the organization and
the “individual are harmed. This one type of liberalism.
To indulge in irresponsible eriticism in private instead of
actively putting forward one's suggestions to the organization.
To:gay nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind
their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting byt to gossip
afterwarda. To show no regard at all for the principles of
collective life but to follow one's own inclimation. This
is a second type
To let things Grift if they do not affect one personally;
to say as little as possible while knowing perfectly well
what is wrong, to be worldly wise and play safe and seel
only to avoid blame. This is a third type
Not to obet orders byt to give pride of place to one's own
opinions. To demand special consideration from the organ-
. ization but to reject its discipline. This is a fourth type.
To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal
spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument
and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or
progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to
hear counter-revoluti.onary remarks withour reporting the,
but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happoned
This is a sixth type.
To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and
agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and
inquiries among thom, and instead to be indifferent to them and
Show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one ia
a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-
Panther. This is a seventh type.
