Chapter 56 Chapter 55 summarizes "the theory of continued revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat"

The highest task of a "theorist" is nothing more than to satisfy the Supreme Leader. "Theoreticians" are best at guessing Mao Zedong's intentions. ※ ※ ※ "Wang, Guan, and Lin" were down, and the three pens for writing editorials were lost.Although Qi Benyu is also a pen, Mao Zedong has already shown his dissatisfaction with this "Marshal Qi".After the downfall of Wang Li and Guan Feng, it was only a matter of time before Qi Benyu's downfall. Ordinary "Red Flag" magazine or "People's Daily" editorials do not require "theoreticians" to do it themselves.Seeing that November 7th - the October Revolution Day of the Soviet Union is coming, and November 7th in 1967 is extraordinary, it is the 50th anniversary of the victory of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union.Mao Zedong asked to write an editorial.This time, the "theoretician" is duty-bound to cooperate with Yao Wenyuan to write this "big article".

All kinds of commemorative articles, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than "using the topic to play".Taking advantage of the "big topic" of the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, what did Chen Boda and Yao Wenyuan want to "display"? The highest task of a "theorist" is nothing more than to satisfy the Supreme Leader. "Theoreticians" are best at guessing Mao Zedong's intentions. Before the downfall, Wang Li revealed Mao Zedong's important intentions to Chen Boda: In February 1967, Mao Zedong gave Wang Li a task, that is, how the "Cultural Revolution" developed Marxism-Leninism.Mao Zedong said to Wang Li: "We must summarize the principles of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat, and see what theoretical basis there is?"

Mao Zedong thought that he had done two major things in his life: one was to defeat Chiang Kai-shek and establish a new China.The other is to launch the "Cultural Revolution", and the most fundamental theory of the "Cultural Revolution" is "continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat". According to Mao Zedong's intention, Wang Li wrote the article "Theoretical Weapons for Revolution Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat" on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the publication of "On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People".When this article was sent to Chen Boda for review, Chen Boda knew the "origin" of Wang Li's article, and did not change a single word, so he published it prominently in the tenth issue of "Red Flag" magazine in 1967 under the name of "Red Flag" magazine editorial.

Just two months after the editorial was published, Wang Li was struck down. Chen Boda re-read the editorial written by Wang Li, and felt that he was not satisfied, so he studied with Yao Wenyuan and once again summarized Mao Zedong's theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat. Chen Boda and Yao Wenyuan wrote the article "Advancing Along the Road Opened by the October Socialist Revolution——Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution", which was signed by "Two Newspapers and One Magazine"—"People's Daily", In the name of the editorial department of "Red Flag" magazine and "Liberation Army Daily".

After Chen Boda and Yao Wenyuan finished writing, fearing that they would suffer the fate of the "August 1st" editorial of "Red Flag" magazine again, they first discussed it in the "Central Cultural Revolution", made revisions, and then submitted it to Mao Zedong for review. Thankfully, Mao Zedong quickly reviewed the editorial, and wrote a sentence on the envelope that Chen Boda and Yao Wenyuan submitted the editorial for review: "The internal documents have been read, well revised, and usable." This "supreme instruction" made Chen Boda, who had been tortured by a series of turmoil in the past few months, heave a sigh of relief.As a result, this editorial was broadcast by Xinhua News Agency on November 5, 1967, and was published in full in every newspaper across the country the next day, becoming a study document for the entire Chinese people.

The core of the editorial is the "Six Chairman's Thoughts" compiled by Chen Boda and Yao Wenyuan: 1. We must use the law of the unity of opposites of Marxism-Leninism to observe socialist society. Second, the socialist society is a fairly long historical stage.In the historical stage of socialism, there are still classes, class contradictions and class struggles, there is a struggle between the two roads of socialism and capitalism, and there is the danger of capitalist restoration. "Peaceful evolution", we must carry through the socialist revolution on the political and ideological fronts to the end.

3. In essence, the class struggle under the dictatorship of the proletariat is still a matter of political power, that is, the bourgeoisie wants to overthrow the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the proletariat must vigorously consolidate the dictatorship of the proletariat.The proletariat must exercise a complete dictatorship over the bourgeoisie in the superstructure, including all cultural fields. Fourth, the struggle between the two classes and the two roads in society will inevitably be reflected in the party.A handful of people in power within the party who are taking the capitalist road are representatives of the bourgeoisie within the party.Fully expose them, criticize them, bring them down, make them unable to overthrow the sky, and resolutely take the power usurped by them back into the hands of the proletariat.

5. To continue the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat, the most important thing is to carry out the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. 6. The fundamental program of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the field of ideology is "fighting against selfishness and criticizing revisionism".The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is a great revolution that touches people's souls, and it aims to solve people's worldview problems.
