We must not become complacent over any success. We should check our complacency and constantly criticize our short- comings, just as we should wash our faccs or sweep the floor every day to remove the dirt and keep them clean As for criticism, do it in good time: don't get into the habit of criticizing only after the event. Taught by mistakes an@ setbacks, we have become wiser and han- dle our offairs better. It is hard for any political party or person to avoid mistakes, but we should make as few as . possible. Once a mistake is made, we should correct it, and . the more quickly and thoroughly the better. Liberalism manifests itself in varieus ways. To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a pwefon hae clearly gone wrong, and refrain from prin- cipled argument because he is an old acquaintances, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into in thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the “individual are harmed. This one type of liberalism. - To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one's suggestions to the organisation. Toreay nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting byt to gossip afterwards. To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one's own inclimation. This is a second type To let things drift if they do not affect one personally; to say as little as pessible while knowing perfectly well what is wrong, to be wor}dly wise and play safe and seel only to avoid blame. This is a third type Not to obet orders byt to give pride of place to one's own opinions. To demand special consideration from the organ- ization but te reject its discipline. This ios a fourth type. To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views fer the sake of unity or. progress or getting the work done properly. ‘This is a fifth type. To hear incorrect views without rebitting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks withour reporting the, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had hepponed This is a sixth type. To be among the masses-and fail to cnnduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one ig a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non- . Panther. This is a seventh type.
