Chapter 8 "Guangdong Provincial Party Congress [1] Venue Journal" release speech

(October 20, 1925) The Guangdong Provincial Congress of our party holds a meeting and publishes a daily magazine, which should have a speech. It has been 20 years since the Tongmenghui to the Chinese Kuomintang, and there was a reorganization in January last year; it has been 14 years since the Revolution of 1911, and now it is leading the national anti-imperialist and anti-warlord revolution; as of today, Amidst the massacres by imperialists all over the country, amidst the high-pressure patriotic movement of reactionary warlords, and the sound of Dongjiang artillery fire, there was the convening of the Guangdong Provincial Congress.These are not personal subjective emergencies or accidents of temporary events, these are the inevitability of observing the environment and the advancement of historical facts.We got the right revolutionary strategy from last January's national convention.In the anti-imperialist and anti-warlord movement that has been at its height in the country for two years from last year to this year, we have gained experience in propaganda, organization, and the experience of attacking and defending against the enemy by implementing our correct revolutionary strategy.What will we get from this Guangdong Provincial Congress?

Our great leader Mr. Sun Yat-sen established the revolutionary Three People's Principles for us in response to the objective environment in which China was heavily oppressed by foreign forces, warlords, compradors, and landlord classes.Although our great leader is dead, the revolutionary Three People's Principles will not die.How to realize the revolutionary Three People's Principles in Guangdong is the only task of the comrades in Guangdong. Our late leader, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, saw clearly that our main enemy was imperialism, so he formulated revolutionary nationalism.It also clearly sees that the important tools used by imperialism to exploit the Chinese people are the warlords, the big business comprador class, and the landlord class, and it also establishes the revolutionary principle of civil rights and people's livelihood.Revolutionary nationalism calls us to resist imperialism and liberate the Chinese nation.Revolutionary civil rights called us to fight against the warlords and make the Chinese people stand on their own in a dominant position.The revolutionary people's livelihood principle calls us to fight against the big merchants and compradors, especially the landlord class, which is the fundamental source of all feudal patriarchal reactionary forces, so that the majority of poor people in China can enjoy economic happiness.Comrades in Guangdong are fighting against imperialism (Shamian strikes, provincial and Hong Kong strikes), against warlords (overthrowing Chen and Lin [2], overthrowing Yang and Liu [3]), and against the big business comprador class (suppression of business groups), In every major movement against the landlord class (Haifeng, Guangning, Shunde, Baoan... the bitter struggle between the peasants and the landlord class in the counties), they have all been led by the people.Among these resistance movements, 200,000 organized workers, 500,000 organized farmers, tens of thousands of trained troops, and many patriotic businessmen and students have joined under the banner of our party to fight for The party has laid a revolutionary foundation in the South! On this foundation, the Nationalist Government, which directs the national revolutionary movement, has been built.Although many comrades from other provinces participated in the various campaigns, the Guangdong comrades did their best.

Guangdong is a place close to British imperialism, a place where downtrodden warlords such as Chen, Lin, Deng Benyin [4] and other down-and-out warlords conceived cunningly, a place where big merchants and comprador classes such as Chen Lianbo [5] concentrated, and where the landlord class colluded with imperialism , Warlords severely exploited and oppressed peasants.How to check previous work, determine future methods, create a powerful provincial supreme commanding body, and use it to develop people's organizations from all walks of life, especially the peasants who account for 80 percent of the total population of Guangdong, that is, 20 million It is the responsibility of the Guangdong Provincial Congress to organize the masses to ensure and expand our victory and to realize the Three People's Principles in Guangdong.

Down with British imperialism! Down with Chen Jiongming, wipe out all counter-revolutionaries! Down with the comprador class that endangers Guangdong! Down with the landlord class who colluded with imperialism and warlords slaughtered peasants! Long live the revolutionary Three People's Principles!
