Chapter 44 Disagree with the formulation of Maoism

(August 15, 1948) Comrade Wu Yuzhang[1]: Not Yuandian [2] learned.It is very inappropriate to say that.Now there is no such thing as Maoism, so one cannot speak of Maoism.It's not about "the main thing is to learn Mao Zedongism", but it is necessary to call on students to learn Marxism, Marxist theory and the experience of the Chinese revolution.The "Chinese revolutionary experience" mentioned here includes certain pamphlets written by the Chinese Communists (including Mao Zedong) based on the Marxist theory and the documents of the Party Central Committee that stipulated the line and policies.In addition, it is also wrong for some comrades to put my name in parallel with Marx, En, Len, and Mao in publications.Both your statement and the latter statement are unrealistic, useless and harmful, and must be firmly opposed to such statements.

Mao Zedong not deleted Printed from manuscript -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ note [1] Wu Yuzhang (1878-1966), born in Rong County, Sichuan.He was the president of North China University at that time. [2] Refers to Wu Yuzhang's telegram to Zhou Enlai on August 13, 1948.In the telegram, Wu Yuzhang expressed his intention to propose at the inauguration ceremony of North China University: "The main thing is to learn Maoism" and "change Mao Zedong Thought into Maoism."As to whether such a formulation is "appropriate", Zhou Enlai is asked to "discuss with the Chairman and Comrade Shaoqi, and give instructions."
