The Medan base headquarters spelt murder.

The Indonesian reactionaries who had slaughtered
countless Indonesian people now tried to bring these

in turn, began pounding the skulls of the young victims

we say.
Hsiang Shu, a representative of the workers of
Kwangchow, said: We warn the Portuguese authorities
in Macao: The Chinese people armed with lVlao
Tse-tung's thought are not to be trifled with and you
will never be allowed to bully our compatriots in
Macao. Your provocation will certainly end up by
lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet.
Liao Mei, representing the peasants on the outskirts of Krvangchow, said: Our broad masses of poor
and lower-middle peasants, peasants armed with lVlao
Tse-tung's thought, fear nothing. We pledge to provide powerful backing to our patriotic compatriots in
Macao. If Portuguese imperialism persists in being
hostile to the Chinese peop.le, we are determined to
break its back.
On December 3, the patriotic teachers and students in Macao sent their delegates to lodge a serious
protest rvith the Portuguese authorities against their
brutal massacre of Chinese residents on November
15, and to reaffirm that the five demands made by the
Taipa residents on November 18 must be accepted:
1.. the curlprits who engineered the sanguinary incident must be severely punished; 2. the Portuguese
authorities on Taipa Island must not obstruct the repair of school buildings and must not violate the
proper rights and interests of the residents; 3. the
Portuguese authorities on Taipa Island and the Portuguese police in Macao must compensate the injured
for all their medical expenses as well as for atl their
losses resulting from this incident; 4. the unreasonable
sentence given to their delegates by the Portuguese office
of the judicial police in Macao should be annulled;
5. the Portuguese authorities in Macao must guarantee
against any recurrence of similar incidents of residents
being beaten. Employing the most despicable means,
the Portuguese authorities in Macao induced the delegates to enter the "Governor's Office" where they
were shut in and savagely beaten. At the same time,
large numbers of troops and policemen, armoured
vehicles and tanks were sent to open fire on Chinese
shops, homes and residents, thus precipitating an unprecedented tragic incident in which Chinese residents
were massacred. Shooting at Chinese residents was
still taking place on December 5. According to incomplete
statistics, there was a total of more than one hundred
casualties on December 3 and 4, including eight.killed.
White terror reigned over all Macao. The livbs and
property of Chinese compatriots there were under grave

On December lL, Renmin Ribao carried an article
by its Commentator which sternly rvarned the Fortuguese authorities in Macao. The article said that the
four-point proposition in the above statement expressed
the firm stand of the 700 million Chinese people. "The

Greot Significonce
Clrairinan Mao's Report on an Inuestigation of the
Peasant Mooem,ent in Hunan is a brilliant document,
for all.
Chairman Mao in this great rvork warmly praised
the revolutionary mass movement rvith the most intense class sentirnent and in the most vivid language,
thus greatly enhancing the militant will of the revolutionary masses while deflating the arrogance of the landDecember' 76,,7966
Study
1. The revolutionory couse of the proletoriot is the couse of the mosses of the people
themselves. Without o greot moss moyementt
there can be no proletoricn reyolution.
Chairrnan Mao has said: "A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." Class struggle is a fierce, life-anddeath struggie. A11 exploiting classes aiike will not quit
the stage of history of their own accord. Only by reiying on a great mass movement with the conscious participation of the broad masses can the proletariat overthrow the reactionary rule of the exploiting classes, set
up and consolidate political power under the proletarian dictatorship and win complete victory for the
proletarian revolution.
Chairman Mao has pointed out in the Report: "The
patriarchal-feudal class of local tyrants, evil gentry
and lawless landlords has forrned the irasis of autocratic
governrnent for thousands of years and is the cornerstone of irnperialism, warlordism and corrupt officialdom." "Vlithout using the greatest foree, the peasants
cannot possibly ovetthrow the deep-rooted authority
of the landlords which has lasted for thousands of
yea(s. The rural areas need a mighty revolutionary
upsurge, for it alone can rouse the people in their rnilIions to become a porverful force'" It was preciseiy
amid a surging revolutionary tide that the peasants of
Hunan had gror,vn into a mighty irresistible force,

"young fanatics" and attacked their revolutionary action as "destroying social traditions." These two different approaches and attitudes towards a revolutionary mass movement, diametricaliy opposed to each
other, are determined by the different interests of two
completely antagonistic classes and are a reflection of
two entirely antagonistic stands and world outlooks.
All exploiting classes are antagonistic to the broad
masses. As the masses rise in making revolution, this
means that the exploiting classes are ail the nearer,
approaching their graves. Therefore, those who take
the stand of an exploiting class are bound to be afraid
of the masses and oppose revolutionary mass movements. The proletariat is the thoroughly revoiutionary
class; in revolutionary struggles, the more widely the
masses are mobilized, the greater the scale of the mass
movement, the faster the revolution develops and
the greater it is to the benefit of the complete liberation
of the revolutionary class. Only by resoluteiy taking
the proletarian stand is one able to share the same lot
with the masses, breathe the same breath, and actively
support revolutionary mass movements.
Dialectical materialism teaches us that the development of things is determined by the essence and
main curent of things. Thus, we must look into the
essence and the main current in our approach to a
question. Eleven years ago, criticizing certain comrades
for their Right opportunist mistakes on the question
of agricultural co-operation, Chairman- Mao said: "The
way these comrades look at problems is wrong. They
clo not look at the essential or main aspets but emphasize the non-essential or minor ones. It should be
pointed. out that these non-essential or minor aspects
must not be overlookeil and must be dealt with one by
one. But they should not be taken as the essential or
main aspects, or we will lose our bearings." (On the
Que sti.on oJ Ag rr,cultural C o-op er ation) Tbe revolutionary mass movement led by the proletariat is always in
accord with the objective law of social development.
The revolutionary masses are clear-sighted, fuIly capable
of understanding the Party's policies, distinguishing
the enemy from ourselves, what is wrong from tvhat is
right, rvhat is false from what is true, they have never
been wrong on the general direction of the revoltition.
In a revolutionary mass movement, it is inevitable that
there may be some shortcomings that are partial and
transient in nature, but these are after all secondary,
an unavoidable phenomenon in the course of advance.
The masses learn to make revolution in revolution just
as people learn to swim in swimming. They will educate
themselves in revolutionary movements, discerning
what is right, what is wrong, which ways of doing
things are correct and whieh ways are not. They will
heighten their consciousness. enhance their ability and
rectify these shortcornings in no time. During the great

Chairman Mao has said: "Uncritical transplantation or copying from the ancients and the foreigners is
the most sterile and harmful dogmatism in literature
and art." These "foreign and ancient ido1s" cannot be
done arvay rvith easily. To make only some reforms on
the basis of these old "foreign" and "ancient" things
'*'ould clearly not do. So we decided to make a sweeping change, from content to form, to make a thorough
revolution.
Mao Tse-tung's thought is the summit of MarxismLeninism of our time. By arming ourselves with Mao
Tse-tung's thought, we will be bold enough to despise
the world"s so-called best in art. Be it the "Renaissance" of the West or the "golden age" of the Tang
Dynastf in China, no matter hou, high these attainments are said to be, they are either feudal or bourgeois in nature, not proletarian. They are not so wonderful as they are said to be, and still less things tha-t
are beyond reach. It is our firm belief that as long
as w:e advance in the direction indicated by Chairman
Mao in his ToZlcs at the Yenan Forunt on Literature and
Art, we wiil be abtre to conquer world's new peaks.

The resolution points out that the ruling circles in
Washington have taken new steps to expand their urar
and have also engaged in other acts of aggressicn to
of the world. It says: "The peoples confronting U.S. imperialism cannot count in any \t'ay on real support and
assistance from the Soviet l]nion."
The Soviet revisionist leading group has adopted
a policy which goes against the interests of the people
of the various countries, a policy vrhich has evil effects
on the entire international situation. The Soviet Government pursues a policy of collaborating with the United
States, with a view to dividing the world into their
spheres of influence, the resolution points out.

The resolution says: The policy of the revisionists did not change after the downfall of Khrushchov;
his successors are upholding the same erroneous ideas
and are even more dangerous because of their hypocrisy.
They are leading the C.P.S.U. and the Soviet Government; they talk glibly about opposing U.S. imperialism,
but in reality, what they are doing is to step up collaboration with U.S. imperialism. On innumerable occasions they have reiterated: "The Soviet policy of

day in every part of the world, on all the five con-

voice of Mao Tse-tung's thought being broadcast from
Peking. They say that they love listening to the Peking bnoadcasts and that they regard this as being as
important as eating.
In this high tide of China's great proletarian cultural revolution, a stream of letters from overseas
listeners has come to China from many parts of the
world, from people in many occupations and on many
fronts of struggle. Warm in their acclaim of our great

She adds: "You don't know how deeply moved I am
