Chapter 93 Against subjectivism and sectarianism[1]

(September 10, 1941) In the past, our Party was ruled by subjectivism for a long time. The Li-San line and the "Left" opportunism in the later period of the Soviet movement were all subjectivism.The subjectivism of the later period of the Soviet movement was more serious, its form was more complete, its reign was longer, and its results were more tragic.This is because these subjectivists call themselves "international lines" and put on the cloak of Marxism, which is fake Marxism. In the later period of the Soviet movement, the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session[2] advocated the socialist revolution, denied the uneven development of the revolution, and believed that the struggle at that time was a decisive battle between two roads[3].These are all more complete politically than the "Left" deviation of Li San's line.

In military terms, the Lisan line has not yet fully affected the Soviet area, while the "Left" opportunism in the later period of the Soviet movement has completely affected the Soviet area, causing the Red Army to suffer even greater defeats. In terms of organization, the crackdown on cadres and the indiscriminate suppression of counterrevolutionaries in the later period of the Soviet movement were more powerful than the Li San line. The subjectivists put forward unrealistic tasks, such as asking to expand the Red Army by one million, attacking central cities, and so on. From 1932 to December 1935, the Party's line for more than three years has not yet been summed up, and preparations are now being made to summarize it at the Seventh National Congress of the Party.

The resolution[4] of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area on May 11, 1932 is completely subjectivist. An article in 1933 against the "Right opportunism" of Deng, Mao, Xie, and Gu [5] was actually a swearing.At that time, it was believed that the "Luo Ming Route"[6] was in Fujian, Jiangxi, Litai[7] was being built, and the entire Central Soviet Area was turned into the "Luo Ming Route".This programmatic article against the "Luo Ming Line" believes that the main mistakes of Jiangxi's "Luo Ming Line" are: (1) abolishing the anti-imperialist movement, (2) abandoning the Soviet area, (3) the rich peasant line, and (4) bureaucracy doctrine.

The Zunyi meeting actually changed a political line.After the Zunyi Conference, the old line no longer worked politically, militarily, or organizationally, but the legacy of subjectivism still existed ideologically. The Sixth Plenary Session[8] fought against subjectivism, but some comrades still have subjectivism, which is mainly manifested in various jobs in Yan'an. Subjectivism and dogmatism are present in Yan'an schools and among cultural people. .This subjectivism is in opposition to Marxism which seeks truth from facts.Its source is: (1) Chinese tradition, "Left" tradition.

(2) Foreign traditions, the influence of the past Communist International such as Bukharin, Zinoviev[9] and others. (3) China is a country with underdeveloped science and a large petty bourgeoisie. Now, there is subjectivism in the style of study in Yan'an, and sectarianism in the style of the party. The way to overcome these unhealthy tendencies is to: (1) We must recognize the seriousness of subjectivism.Yan'an is in the rear of a peaceful environment, and subjectivism is serious, but subjectivism also exists throughout the country. (2) To distinguish between creative Marxism and dogmatic Marxism.

(3) Propagating creative Marxism. (4) We oppose subjectivism for the purpose of improving theory, not degrading Marxism.We want to Marxistize the rich reality of the Chinese revolution. (5) For those whose theories deviate from reality, it is proposed to disqualify him as a "theoretician".Only those who use the Marxist viewpoint to study and solve practical problems can be considered practical theorists.Stalin said that a theory divorced from reality is an empty theory[10].I think empty theories are ridiculous theories. For articles that study practical issues, more manuscript fees should be paid.Teachers who can Sinicize Marxism are considered good teachers and should be given more allowances.

(6) Sectarianism also exists now.In Yan'an, only the head of the government can eat well, and many scientists and writers are looked down upon.Sectarianism is a kind of ethos that excludes non-party cadres, that is, xenophobia.Also inline.Trouble with independence, disobedience to resolutions, and lack of discipline must be rectified. The line is the "kingly way" and the discipline is "hegemonic", both of which are indispensable. In the past, a person in charge of the health department violated the policy on experts, egotisticalism, and violated communist morality, so he was dismissed.

(7) Against sectarianism and egoism, we must fight in principle.It is necessary to carry out a two-line struggle, to oppose subjectivism and sectarianism, and against dogmatism and transactionalism. (8) Newspapers should publish more articles, rewarding articles on dialectical materialism and opposing subjectivism. (9) Carry out the reform of the school system and completely smash the old system.To study the ideological methodology of Marx, Engel, Lenin, and Sri Lanka, take the "History of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of China" [11] as the center of study, and read more speeches against subjectivism.

To organize a research group on ideological methodology, we should first start with comrades from the Politburo. The five fundamental tasks of the Politburo are ideological, political, policy, military, and organizational. Politics must pay attention to the current situation, and members of the Central Committee must increase their political knowledge. The military is a business that must be studied in wartime at present. Mastery of mind education is our number one business. (10) Use analytical methods to solve problems.This is the scientific method proposed by the bourgeoisie in the past, but it needs to be synthesized.We need to use the method of analysis and synthesis to extract problems from the whole thing for analysis and then synthesize them.

(11) Study the central resolutions of the Sixth to Seventh National Congresses. On the one hand, the central research group studies the ideological methodology of Marxism, and on the other hand, it studies the resolutions since the Sixth National Congress, with Mao Zedong as the group leader and Wang Jiaxiang as the deputy group leader. (12) The work of the Education Committee (headed by Luo Fu [12]) should first be investigated and then reformed. (13) A mobilization meeting was held in Yan'an. All comrades from the Political Bureau of the Central Committee participated in the campaign, and everyone gave speeches to concentrate their efforts against subjectivism and sectarianism.

(14) Overthrow the two doctrines and keep the people.Oppose subjectivism and sectarianism, and keep cadres who have made mistakes intact. (15) Call Shaoqi and Enlai to ask for their opinions. (16) Carry out mobilization of the whole party, in addition to strengthening the party spirit decision, investigation and research decision [13], write some articles.
