Our comrades must understand that we study Marxism-Leninism not for display, nor because there is any mystery about it, but solely because it is the science which leads the revolutionary cause of the proletariat to victory. Even now, there are not a few people who still regard odd quotations from Marxist-Leninist works as a readymade panacea which, once acquired, can easily cure all maladies. These people show childish ignorance, and we should enlighten them. It is precisely such ignorant people who take Marxism-Leninism as a religious dogma. To them we should say bluntly, “Your dogma is worthless.” Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin have repeatedly stated that our theory is not a dogma but a guide to action. But such people prefer to forget this statement which is of the greatest, indeed the utmost, importance.

Additional quotes by Mao Zedong

马克思列宁主义认为:认识过程中两个阶段的特性,在低级阶段,认识表现为感性的,在高级阶段,认识表现为论理的,但任何阶段,都是统一的认识过程中的阶段。感性和理性二者的性质不同,但又不是互相分离的,它们在实践的基础上统一起来了。我们的实践证明:感觉到了的东西,我们不能立刻理解它,只有理解了的东西才更深刻地感觉它。感觉只解决现象问题,理论才解决本质问题。这些问题的解决,一点也不能离开实践。无论何人要认识什么事物,除了同那个事物接触,即生活于(实践于)那个事物的环境中,是没有法子解决的。不能在封建社会就预先认识资本主义社会的规律,因为资本主义还未出现,还无这种实践。马克思主义只能是资本主义社会的产物。马克思不能在自由资本主义时代就预先具体地认识帝国主义时代的某些特异的规律,因为帝国主义这个资本主义最后阶段还未到来,还无这种实践,只有列宁和斯大林才能担当此项任务。马克思、恩格斯、列宁、斯大林之所以能够作出他们的理论,除了他们的天才条件之外,主要地是他们亲自参加了当时的阶级斗争和科学实验的实践,没有这后一个条件,任何天才也是不能成功的。

它有许多东西我们可以学。当然,是要学习先进经验,不是学习落后经验。我们历来提的口号是学习苏联先进经验,谁要你去学习落后经验呀?有一些人,不管三七二十一,连苏联人放的屁都是香的,那也是主观主义。苏联人自己都说是臭的嘛!所以,要加以分析。我们说过,对斯大林要三七开。他们的主要的、大量的东西,是好的,有用的;部分的东西是错误的。我们也有部分的东西是不好的,我们自己就要丢掉,更不要别国来学这些坏事。但是,坏事也算一种经验,也有很大的作用。我们就有陈独秀、李立三、王明、张国焘、高岗、饶漱石这些人,他们是我们的教员。此外,我们还有别的教员。在国内来说,最好的教员是蒋介石。我们说不服的人,蒋介石一教,就说得服了。蒋介石用什么办法来教呢?他是用机关枪、大炮、飞机来教。还有帝国主义这个教员,它教育了我们六亿人民。一百多年来,几个帝国主义强国压迫我们,教育了我们。所以,坏事有个教育作用,有个借鉴作用。
