This is the record of the discussion, focusing on the first成立 meeting of the peripheral propaganda organization convened by the association, and only discussing the issues of Qian Renling’s defeatism and petty-bourgeois zeal, omitting many other parts.
@all This organization, the Communist Youth United Association, is a peripheral organization under the association, used to carry out various宣传 activities offline and online in the future. Its purpose is to adapt Marxism宣传 in China, integrate Marxism with the workers' movement, and to prepare for the establishment of a Chinese proletarian party.
"Unconditional centralism and extremely strict discipline are prerequisites for the proletariat to defeat the bourgeoisie." All comrades participating in this organization must voluntarily undertake all organizational duties, must follow all arrangements of the association leadership, and must submit to all纪律 unified leadership by the association.
Comrades participating in the organization must put revolutionary interests and collective interests first, personal interests second, and personal interests must yield to collective interests; all speech and conduct must meet the moral standard of whether they align with the interests of the proletarian class struggle.
To become正式 users of this forum, after voluntary application and organizational judgment permission, only then may you join this group. Anyone unwilling to obey all of the above基本原则 will be subjected to organizational measures at any time, up to removal from here. Additionally, this organization, as a peripheral organization under the association, any comrades active here, after long-term activity testing and actual qualification and voluntary application, with permission from the association leadership, may join the association's正式 organization.
These are the basic requirements; later I will issue the organizational形式 and content of宣传活动.
In order to truly开展the Marxist宣传活动 required by the association and to truly complete the task of combining Marxism with the workers' movement, in all联合会 activities, we must坚持思想斗争 and坚持马克思主义's correct principles. Everyone in the联合会 must, while改造 the objective world,改造 the subjective world. Everyone needs to publish their活动记录 every day, whether at school, factory, or service store; every day report to the organization on one's own activity, with emphasis on reporting one's own思想状况 and interactions with others in宣传.
All members of the 联合会 must develop toward workers as much as possible, proletarianize. In this process, those who meet the条件 should under the leadership of the association engage in collective living and participate in劳动改造 together. Comrades who temporarily lack the conditions for independent living and labor, at school or elsewhere, if possible, should organize collective activities and jointly开展宣传活动.
Each comrade participating in宣传 activities of the 联合会 must state their age and living situation, paying special attention to distinguish students from those living independently, and indicate their province to facilitate the association's arrangement of collective activity groups. If there are students在同一学校活动, they should also collectively declare and describe the情况, arranged by the organization into groups.
Once collective activity groups are formed, they must submit to the association's unified leadership and展开宣传工作. Individuals without条件 to participate in student or worker各种集体活动 groups shall, in their personal capacity, obey the association's unified leadership and engage in宣传工作.
The student collective activity group should focus on campus宣传. Do not advertise, do not expose personal political positions lightly; through long propaganda and mobilization work, first establish personal connections, test others' thoughts and positions, and as much as possible expand the ranks.
The workers' collective activity group should establish collective living under the association's arrangement, although they cannot directly imitate the association's圣库制度, depending on the group's思想觉悟程度, establish a group生活基金, practice mutual消费 cooperation to reduce living costs, and cultivate公有制思想. If possible, strive to raise the degree of公有化 until社会主义 distribution圣库制度实现. The workers' group should mainly宣传 to workers in factories or service establishments; they need to study Marxism's class analysis methods, avoid急进 and盲动, but also坚持 Marxist立场, viewpoints and methods to传播 communist思想 to workers. And try to influence other workers in the class struggle, guiding them in class struggle.
All comrades participating in宣传活动 according to association requirements must无条件地服从以上所有组织要求.
All comrades willing to开展宣传活动 under these requirements, after receiving the通知, shall swearing: "I will obey the association's requirements, follow联合会活动纪律,展开宣传活动,坚持革命事业,把革命利益和集体利益放在第一位, 为完成马克思主义在中国的宣传并做好建党准备工作做出贡献."
@all All comrades who have received the message and are willing to abide by the above纪律, please swear now.
The proletarian organization should have proletarian discipline
Otherwise there is no strength
Apart from those participating in this外围活动组织 and宣传活动, this group also has many comrades belonging to other organizations under the association. I will lead them to交流 with everyone and promote宣传活动 together.
@all Tonight at 8:00 PM, we will hold a宣传 meeting; everyone reports their current age, living situation and occupation, and province; we will make arrangements and plans and establish各集体活动小组.
Other members of the association do not need to swear here or report their activities here, because they are under统一领导 in other organizations. However, they will join us to assist in宣传活动 here.
When I remember my days as a student, that repressed, suffocating life, when I recall countless youths' struggles and resistances that were ruthlessly crushed.
I feel today is a great day.
Sigh, I still feel that way; in the meeting only two people could act, and the problems are still big, a contrast to the initial uproar.
What does Qian Renling mean?
So what if it's uproar? It shows everyone is passionate, right?
Don’t have your petty-bourgeois tendencies flaring up and cooling down.
Most of you were students or recently out of student status,
and you lack real行动力.
This is normal.
The important thing is long-term ideological struggle and organizational building work.
Indeed
This, too, is not that nothing has been arranged; most have plans
Qian Renling, don’t fantasize that the organization will be built in one day
And the most important thing next is that everyone independently and actively展开宣传活动, accumulate experience
4.5 Qian Ren Activity Record
Today was a busy day!
Because the production line tasks became tighter, we produced over 360 parts today! Why? Because we were rushing; many products had accumulated.
When I was about to leave, that sb factory chief came over to “guide” me on how to operate the machine, holding something and banging it, saying how the head press would collide with the robotic arm, as if. I have always been afraid of capitalists, because they have means; although reactionaries are纸老虎, they are real tigers, so I was very nervous until he completely disrupted my plan. I am not proficient in operation; changing a new tool is 12 major steps, but today it was done with data stored on the computer. This whole thing made me panicked; after calming down, I patiently explained to him what is what. He did not show emotion, though he was polite… Sigh, I was at a loss, but fortunately he happened to finish his shift, and there was nothing else to do.
Today, several people were new, and one old worker talked about today’s work; damn, this line is only us; other plants are on holiday. But holidays aren’t necessarily good, because wages we should earn are like money for our labor; like cookies, broken apart and sold, with additional conditions, such as full attendance bonuses. In reality, it still clamps workers’ wages… and then there are things like transfers that subtract the actual work hours from days off. Finally, one person complained that there were many kinds of tasks today. Came a line: "I am a brick of socialism, move wherever needed"… Sigh.
So tired, want to rest… but thinking of the 20k debt, I don’t know how to handle it.
Today the Communist Youth United Association was established, finally we can connect comrades, but the difficulties ahead are great, I can’t muster energy. I remember that a few people from the East Is Red study group even defected…
Labor reform: B Very tired
Theoretical study: E None
Interpersonal relations: C Spoke with a few workers
Collective life: B Attended the meeting today
Technical life: C Okay
Plan for tomorrow:
Buy a box of masks, spend twenty minutes studying Marx and Lenin.
Is the following part too revolutionary-pessimistic?
Qian Renling is too good at stirring defeatism
A few people defected, which has nothing to do with whether the revolution develops or not; defectors only show they are unwilling to accept reform, their thoughts are backward
Yes, when Qian Ren0 heard about collective living at night, he wanted to retreat
4.5….
My head is going to break….
Even defectors in the association have formed a continuing reform faction; revolution still moves forward, organization continues to develop
Whether there are many people or few, it’s a question of whether the路线 is correct; when Mao Zedong faced Wang Ming's路线, his position was repeatedly challenged, but Mao's correct路线 ultimately won within the party
Despite some defectors before, overall more people are following Fenghuo's correct路线 now, right?
Continuing to reform factions may be rampant, but they are losing support, even turning on themselves in the forum
I used to think the same, that “the future is bright.” Very good! I was happy, but then? I may have dipped a little into the water, and thought, “youth do not know melancholy; only with old age one knows the hardships ahead.”
Defy the heavens
Defy the heavens
Defy the heavens
What “Bright future” not visible, road twists and turns I cannot finish
The drums of retreat are up
Defy the heavens
What Jade not achieved
Isn’t this just a flood of defeatist mood
Not about "dipping into water"
I used to believe this, and only after comrades reminded me did I realize it was anti-Mao. When comrades are in difficulty, they should see the achievements, see the light, and raise our courage. The Chinese people are suffering; we have a responsibility to救 them; we must strive. Where there is striving, there will be sacrifice; people dying happens often. But when we think of the people's interests, the pain of the majority, we die for the people, it is the right death.
Mao Zedong, "Serve the People"
Qian Renling, you can explain what's complex, instead of acting as a riddle-giver
It's like coal formation: a lot of effort for only a little result
This is still a riddle-giver
Very abstract
Only a little is a quantitative change
Indeed
And精神层面 cannot be measured by quantity
Feels like after the evening meeting, only two people can go to collective life
You probably think there is a lot of effort now (especially your own hard work), but you don’t see immediate revolutionary progress
Organizing this group and holding this宣传计划 meeting is a victory today
Qian Ren0 again only cares about results; must要求 everyone to live independently now
Anyway, Fenghuo's plan to有协会正确路线 leading unified宣传 is初步 getting up.
In具体行动 there will be setbacks, that’s later; cannot predict now
Qian Ren0 is majorly promoting defeatism; earlier said today is a great day
Defeatism is about causing the revolution to fail. Qian Ren0, as a petty bourgeois student, flares up and down; the root is that even after entering a factory and facing capitalist oppression, he only sees his own oppression and views the revolutionary organization as something that could bring him personal benefit. So when he sees the peripheral revolutionary organization cannot let him lie down to enjoy immediately, he feels “the future is gray,” which is really his personal future becoming gray.
The essence of Qian Ren0's thinking comes from his lifestyle
A person's thoughts and conscience are determined by their entire lifestyle
Qian Ren0’s stance arises because he was a long-time petty-bourgeois parasitic student, enjoyed a自由散漫 life, and considered himself an intellectual who should have an easy life. But now capitalist oppression is so harsh that his old lifestyle cannot be realized; his status fell, and he developed hatred toward capitalism. This hatred appears quickly but is unstable. Because Qian Ren0 has not become proletarianized; still exists this… A tendency of自由散漫 in the face of劳动. He also despises labor; the reason for leaving Foxconn was that work was too tiring. After entering this小 factory, it is comfortable; the piece-rate per day is among the lowest in the factory, 81 pieces a day. Meanwhile life is decaying and he again goes to leisure all day. In essence, Qian Ren0 has not regarded himself as proletariat; still sees himself as petty-bourgeois. Mood swings, hot and cold toward capitalism, but this is anti-authoritarian hatred, hatred for not being able to be a vested利益者 in capitalism. He cannot accept relying on the masses, collective力量, long-term struggle to overthrow capitalism. So Qian Ren0's mentality is that of a bankrupt petty-bourgeois; if he wants to overthrow capitalism, he hopes for a quick solution, so when he sees a宣传会议 is being convened, he shouts, "Great, days will get better." But after the meeting, he finds revolution did not progress in a day; progress is not fast, and he does not want to engage in long-term efforts, does not summarize the experience needed for revolutionary development. Seeing that revolution cannot succeed overnight, he cannot immediately lie in villas and mansions to enjoy, so he starts swearing again: "Damn, why is revolution so low-level, so troublesome, seems it won't succeed, alas, still a failure."
