The basic ideological programme of the great proletarian Cultural Revolution is 'to combat selfishness and criticize revisionism.' - Mao Zedong

Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surmount every difficulty to win victory.

As for the members of the reactionary classes and individual reactionaries, so long as they do not rebel, sabotage or create trouble after their political power has been overthrown, land and work will be given to them as well in order to allow them to live and remould themselves through labour into new people. If they are not willing to work, the people's state will compel them to work. Propaganda and educational work will be done among them too and will be done, moreover, with as much care and thoroughness as among the captured army officers in the past. This, too, may be called a "policy of benevolence" if you like, but it is imposed by us on the members of the enemy classes and cannot be mentioned in the same breath with the work of self-education which we carry on within the ranks of the revolutionary people.

Marxism comprises many principles, but in the final analysis they can all be brought back to a single sentence: it is right to rebel.
