What are the three legal treasures of the Party?

Mao Zedong pointed out that in order to lead the revolution to victory, the proletariat must unite all possible classes and strata and organize a united front for the revolution. He scientifically analyzed the situation of the classes in Chinese society and pointed out that the peasants were the natural and most reliable allies of the proletariat, and that the alliance of the workers and peasants was the main relying force of the revolution.

The petty bourgeoisie other than the peasants are also reliable allies of the proletariat. The Chinese bourgeoisie is divided into two parts, one is the big bourgeoisie dependent on imperialism and the other is the national bourgeoisie. As they represented different relations of production, they held different attitudes towards the revolution.

Armed Struggle:

Mao Zedong believed that the Chinese revolution must take the form of long-term armed struggle as its main form. This is because China is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country with a situation different from that of capitalist countries. Internally it had no democracy but was oppressed by the feudal system, and externally it had no national independence but was oppressed by imperialism.

Imperialism and its reactionary forces in China, by virtue of their armed strength, exercise a dictatorial rule of terror over the people. The Chinese proletariat and its parties had no parliament to use and no legal right to organize workers to hold strikes. Therefore, the main form of the Chinese revolution is armed struggle and the main form of organization is the army. The main task facing the Chinese ****proletariat is to unite as many allied armies as possible, to organize armed struggle against armed counter-revolution, and to fight for the liberation of the nation and society.

Party Construction:

Mao Zedong believed that party construction must be closely linked to the party's political line. The Party's program and political line determine the general direction of the Party's action and its construction. To build the Party into a vanguard of the working class and to realize the Party's leading role, there must be a Marxist revolutionary line.

Mao Zedong placed special emphasis on building the Party ideologically, suggesting that Party members should not only join the Party organizationally, but also ideologically, paying constant attention to transforming and overcoming all sorts of non-proletarian ideas with proletarian ideas. He pointed out that the style of combining theory and practice, the style of close contact with the people, and the style of self-criticism are the distinguishing marks of the CPC from any other political party. In response to the leftist error of "brutal struggle and merciless attack" that had existed in the Party's internal struggles throughout history, he put forward the correct policy of "punishing the former to prevent the latter from happening again and treating the sick to save the people," emphasizing the need to achieve the goal of clarifying ideas and uniting comrades in the Party's internal struggles.

Mao Zedong created a form of rectification in which Marxist ideology was taught through criticism and self-criticism throughout the Party. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China and afterward, in view of the fact that our party became the party leading the national regime, Mao repeatedly proposed that we should continue to maintain a style of modesty and prudence, guard against arrogance and hard work, and be on the alert for the erosion of bourgeois ideology, and oppose bureaucracy that is divorced from the masses.
