"You are dictatorial." My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.

Additional quotes by Mao Zedong

当着某一件事情(任何事情都是一样)要做,但是还没有方针、方法、计划或政策的时候,确定方针、方法、计划或政策,也就是主要的决定的东西。当着政治文化等等上层建筑阻碍着经济基础的发展的时候,对于政治上和文化上的革新就成为主要的决定的东西了。我们这样说,是否违反了唯物论呢?没有。因为我们承认总的历史发展中是物质的东西决定精神的东西,是社会的存在决定社会的意识;但是同时又承认而且必须承认精神的东西的反作用,社会意识对于社会存在的反作用,上层建筑对于经济基础的反作用。这不是违反唯物论,正是避免了机械唯物论,坚持了辩证唯物论。

就人类认识运动的秩序说来,总是由认识个别的和特殊的事物,逐步地扩大到认识一般的事物。人们总是首先认识了许多不同事物的特殊的本质,然后才有可能更进一步地进行概括工作,认识诸种事物的共同的本质。

中国的长期战争,使中国人民付出了并且还将再付出重大的牺牲;但是同时,正是这个战争,锻炼了中国人民。这个战争促进中国人民的觉悟和团结的程度,是近百年来中国人民的一切伟大的斗争没有一次比得上的。在中国人民面前,不但存在着强大的民族敌人,而且存在着强大的实际上帮助民族敌人的国内反动势力,这是一方面。但是另一方面,中国人民不但已经有了比过去任何时候都高的觉悟程度,而且有了强大的中国解放区和日益高涨着的全国性的民主运动。这是国内的有利条件。如果说,中国近百年来一切人民斗争都遭到了失败或挫折,而这是因为缺乏国际的和国内的若干必要的条件,那末,这一次就不同了,比较以往历次,一切必要的条件都具备了。避免失败和取得胜利的可能性充分地存在着。如果我们能够团结全国人民,努力奋斗,并给以适当的指导,我们就能够胜利。
