A letter written to one of the organizer comrades:
Comrade,
…. Mother is asking to help the family and …. is looking for a job. His present plan is to work for six months and then go back to the village. Anyway, you will not get any help from him for the present. So you will have to take a decision about the area he used to look after. You sit down with …. and take a decision. I am sending the cadre list collected from him. Here lies the problem with the petty-bourgeois comrades. They quickly lose sight of the national-international perspective and then the family problems even appear as the greatest problem to them. The petty-bourgeois limitation lies exactly here. You can not but be concerned about the struggles of the workers and poor peasants. So they can remain consistent revolutionary. As Chairman said, Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surmount every difficulty to win victory. The question of sacrifice is not a particular issue. It is problem of day to day life. That is why Chairman has said, we do not believe in the concept that petty-bourgeois cadres develop once they go to the village. After going to the village you will have to be integrated with the masses and be friendly with the people and secondly, you will have to constantly remould yourself by adopting proletarian outlook. Then only you can develop. Give stress on carrying radio to the villages. Listening to radio Peking should be taken as an indispensable task. The international leadership is issuing instructions everyday, we have to understand those instructions and make use of them. If I happen to get a new boy, I will send him to you. We all have to take lessons from the example of…. You must learn from past mistakes. Think why this happened and take lesson from it. You can thus avoid future mistakes. I got the report about your peasant committee meeting from….Collect guns–this is the politics of today. Future will depend on how far we could instill this politics within the peasantry. Discuss, improve yourself. This is what is required most today.
