important discussion
September 8, 1944
Mao Zedong attended the memorial service held by the Central Guard Corps for Zhang Side and gave a speech, expounding the meaning of sacrifice for the benefit of the people. He pointed out: Our Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party are revolutionary troops. Our team is solely for the liberation of the people, and is thoroughly working for the interests of the people. He emphasized: People are always going to die, but the meaning of death is different. In ancient China, a writer named Sima Qian said: "Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." To die for the benefit of the people is even more important than Mount Tai; to work hard for fascism, to exploit the people and oppress the people. The people of the people die, they are lighter than a feather. This speech is titled "Serving the People" and included in the third volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".
September 8-13, 1948
Mao Zedong presided over the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee (the September meeting) in Xibaipo. This meeting made important preparations for the People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army to wage a strategic decisive battle, to finally defeat Chiang Kai-shek and win the victory of the revolution throughout the country.
Mao Zedong submitted a written report to the meeting. It pointed out: Our strategic policy is to transition from guerrilla warfare to regular warfare, build 5 million troops, wipe out 500 brigades of the enemy's regular army, and completely defeat the Kuomintang in about five years. The class nature of our political power is led by the proletariat, based on the alliance of workers and peasants, with the participation of bourgeois democrats. A country under the people's democratic dictatorship is represented by the government formed by the People's Congress. We adopt a democratic and centralized people’s representative assembly system instead of a bourgeois parliamentary system. It is very appropriate to adopt democratic centralism in China, and there is no need to engage in a bourgeois parliamentary system and three powers. Study industry and do business. The whole party must propose this task and write articles to advocate it. This task must be resolved. He also pointed out: Our social economy cannot be called "new capitalism." This term does not indicate that it is the state-owned economy and the public-run economy that play a decisive role in our society. Our country is led by the proletariat, and all these economies are socialist in nature.The rural individual economy and the urban private economy are large in quantity, but they are not decisive. The name of our social economy is still the "new democratic economy". When we oppose agricultural socialism, we are referring to those who are divorced from industry. As long as agriculture is used to engage in socialism, this will undermine production and hinder the development of production, and is reactionary. But in the future in the socialist system, agriculture will also be socialized.
Liu Shaoqi delivered a speech at the meeting on the 13th, focusing on the issue of new democratic economic construction. He pointed out: The totality of the national economy is called the new democratic economy, which includes the natural economy, small production economy, capitalist economy, semi-socialist economy, state capitalist economy, and state-run socialist economy. Its leadership component. In the new democratic economy, the basic contradiction is the contradiction between capitalism (capitalists and rich peasants) and socialism. After the victory of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution, this is the main contradiction of the new society. Today, in carrying out economic work in the liberated areas, we must pay attention to the struggle with private capitalists. The method of struggle is economic competition, which runs through all aspects and is peaceful competition. If we win the competition, the revolution can be transformed peacefully, and a revolution can be completed without the overthrow of the regime. This struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie is a struggle between the two roads of socialism and capitalism. In this struggle, what is decided is the back and forth of the small producers. Therefore, the most cautious policy must be adopted against the small producers. Cooperatives are the most powerful tool for uniting small producers. When the cooperative is done well, it will consolidate its leadership over the small producers. Otherwise, leadership still cannot be consolidated.
Mao Zedong made the conclusion of the meeting on this day. The conclusion points out that there are socialist factors in the new democracy, in all aspects of politics, economy, and culture, and it is a leading factor, but in general it is a new democracy. After the completion of the bourgeois democratic revolution, the main internal contradiction in China is the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and the external one is the contradiction with imperialism. Secondly, there are still ethnic contradictions within. In addition, there are contradictions between workers and peasants, but they are not antagonistic contradictions, and they can be resolved within the alliance of workers and peasants. It will take another 10 to 20 years to complete national independence economically. We must work hard to develop the economy and transition from developing a new-democratic economy to socialism. These views can be promoted. Mao Zedong's written report and conclusions are compiled into the fifth volume of "Mao Zedong Collected Works".
