This is the most effective touchstone for distinguishing genuine from fake revolutionaries and Marxist-Leninists.

The pen and gun—these are the two props on which one relies in the seizure of political power.

Long live Chairman Mao, great teacher, great leader, great supreme commander and great helmsman. A long life, and a long, long life to him!

With the brilliant leadership of Chairman Mao and having mastered Mao Tse-tung’s thought which is the keenest weapon, we will be invincible and all-conquering and will achieve complete victory in the great proletarian cultural revolution!

Comrade Mao Tse-tung’s great merit lies in the fact that he has succeeded in integrating the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution and has enriched and developed Marxism-Leninism by his masterly generalization and summation the experience gained during the Chinese people’s protracted revolutionary struggle.

The 17 years that have elapsed since the founding of the People’s Republic of China have been no ordinary years. They are years which have witnessed earth-shaking changes in China. They are years which have witnessed earthshaking changes in the world as well.
