A collage I made inspired by Mao’s ‘Reform Our Study’ set on a torn piece of banner from this past summer’s protests 🚩 “A formidable enemy stands before us, and we must overthrow him. Only when subjectivism is overthrown can the truth of Marxism-Leninism prevail, can Party spirit be strengthened, can the revolution be victorious. We must assert that the absence of a scientific attitude, that is, the absence of the Marxist-Leninist approach of uniting theory and practice, means that Party spirit is either absent or deficient. There is a couplet which portrays this type of person. It runs: The reed growing on the wall--top-heavy, thin-stemmed and shallow of root; The bamboo shoot in the hills--sharp-tongued, thick-skinned and hollow inside. Is this not an apt description of those who do not have a scientific attitude, who can only recite words and phrases from the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin and who enjoy a reputation unwarranted by any real learning? If anyone really wishes to cure himself of his malady, I advise him to commit this couplet to memory or to show still more courage and paste it on the wall of his room.” #artist #revolution #maoism #maoismo #communist #socialist #revolutionary #masses #workingclass #proletariat #antiimperialism #marxism #leninism https://www.instagram.com/p/CNwOZtZlTSW/?igshid=18unk4wectu
