It is an arduous task to ensure a better life for the several hundred million people of China and to build our economically and culturally backward country into a prosperous and powerful one with a high level of culture. And it is precisely in order to be able to shoulder this task more competently and work better together with all non-Party people who are actuated by high ideals and determined to institute reforms that we must conduct rectification movements both now and in the future, and constantly rid ourselves of whatever is wrong.
Opposition and struggle between ideas of different kinds constantly occur within the Party; this is a reflection within the Party of contradictions between classes and between the new and the old in society. If there were no contradictions in the Party and no ideological struggles to resolve them, the Party's life would come to an end.
我们的大会是在这种情况之下开会的:中国人民在其对于日本侵略者作了将近八年的坚决的英勇的不屈不挠的奋斗,经历了无数的艰难困苦和自我牺牲之后,出现了这样的新局面——整个世界上反对法西斯侵略者的神圣的正义的战争,已经取得了有决定意义的胜利,中国人民配合同盟国打败日本侵略者的时机,已经迫近了。但是中国现在仍然不团结,中国仍然存在着严重的危机。在这种情况下,我们应该怎样做呢?毫无疑义,中国急需把各党各派和无党无派的代表人物团结在一起,成立民主的临时的联合政府,以便实行民主的改革,克服目前的危机,动员和统一全中国的抗日力量,有力地和同盟国配合作战,打败日本侵略者,使中国人民从日本侵略者手中解放出来。然后,需要在广泛的民主基础之上,召开国民代表大会,成立包括更广大范围的各党各派和无党无派代表人物在内的同样是联合性质的民主的正式的政府,领导解放后的全国人民,将中国建设成为一个独立、自由、民主、统一和富强的新国家。一句话,走团结和民主的路线,打败侵略者,建设新中国。
在上海时,一个中央分裂为两个中央,在长征中与张国焘分裂,高饶事件是部分分裂。部分的分裂是经常的。去年以来。全国有一半的省份在领导集团内发生了分裂。人身上海天都要脱发、脱皮,这就是灭亡一部分细胞。从小孩起就要灭亡一部分细胞,这才有利于生长。如果没有灭亡,人就不能生存。自从孔夫子以来,人要不灭亡那不得了。灭亡有好处,可以做肥料,你说不做,实际做了。精神上要有准备。部分的分裂每天都存在。分裂灭亡总会有的。没有分裂.不利于发展。整个的灭亡,也是历史的必然。整个讲,作为阶级斗争工具的党和国家,是要灭亡的。但在它的历史任务未完成前,是要巩固它,不希望分裂,但要准备分裂。没有准备,就要分裂。有准备。就可避免大分裂。大型、中型的分裂是暂时的。匈牙利事件是大型的,高饶事件、莫洛托失事件是中型的。每个支部都在起变化,有些开除,有些进来,有些工作很好,有些犯错误。永远不起变化是不可能的。列宁经常说:国家总有两种可能。或者胜利,或者灭亡。我们中华人为共和国也有两种可能,胜利下去,或者灭亡。列宁是不隐讳灭亡这种可能性的,我们人民共和国也有两种可能性,不要否定这种可能性。我们手里没有原子弹,打起来,三十六计,走为上计,他占北京、上海、武汉,我们打游击,倒退十几年,二十年,回到延安时代。所以一方面我们要积极准备,大搞钢铁,搞机器,搞铁路,争取三四年内搞几千万吨钢,建立起工业基础,使我们比现在更巩固。
