Liberalism, as a world outlook, is the foundation of socialism.
◆ There are various social ways. This way can be adopted: directly accept some enterprises or industrial clusters and make them state-owned enterprises, local public enterprises or state-owned enterprises. But it can also be done, that is, by the whole through laws and decrees and more and more intervention in the operation of enterprises.
A good factory law can contain more socialism than the nationalization of hundreds of enterprises and factories.
Socialism is the sum total of social requirements and natural intentions of workers who know their class status and class tasks in modern capitalist society.
The arrival or coming of socialism is not the result of a huge political decisive battle, but the result of economic and political victories of the working class in all aspects of its activities. It is not the result of the oppression, poverty and humiliation suffered by workers, but the result of their growing social influence and the relative improvement of their economy, politics, general society and morality. In my opinion, the socialist society is not produced from chaos, but from the combination of organized creation of workers in the field of free economy and the creation and achievements of struggle democracy of state and local self-government institutions. Through the convulsions and struggles of the reactionary forces, I see that the class struggle itself is taking an increasingly civilized form. It is this civilization of class struggle, that is, the political and economic struggle of workers, which I think is the best guarantee for realizing socialism.
Democracy is your social principle. Believe in the creativity of this right, it will guide you to social liberation more reliably than any rough interference from such a sensitive body as a highly developed modern national economy.
Socialism refers to a huge cultural movement, which is an irresistible movement. This movement is concentrated in a huge political party, which expands social enlightenment among workers, inspires understanding of the country's economic needs, and inspires those who want to continue to promote society along the track of social progress.
It is through these that the understanding of the nature of measures that must be taken is beneficial to the whole.
◆ A mistake will not remain unchanged because Marx and Engels once praised it, and a truth will not lose its power because it was first discovered or expressed by an anti-socialist economist or an unimportant socialist economist.
Where the working class has not yet had its own very strong economic organization and achieved a high degree of ideological independence through the training of autonomous institutions, the dictatorship of the proletariat is the dictatorship of club spokespersons and literati.
◆ The development and perfection of Marxist theory must start with criticism. The situation today is that people can prove everything according to Marx and Engels. This is very convenient for defenders and people who are writing. But as long as he still has a little theoretical consciousness, as long as the scientific nature of socialism is not' just a decoration, which is taken out of the silver cabinet on holidays and ignored at ordinary times', then once he realizes these contradictions, he will feel it necessary to clean them up. This is the task of the tutor's students, not to repeat the tutor's words forever.
The mistakes of a theory can only be considered to have been overcome when they are admitted by the defenders of the theory.
