Combat liberalism

Book • 1954
Mao Zedong's "Combat Liberalism" is a concise but powerful essay that addresses the dangers of complacency and inaction within revolutionary movements.

It emphasizes the importance of constant self-criticism and the struggle against bureaucratic tendencies.

Mao argues that liberalism, characterized by a lack of discipline and a reluctance to confront contradictions, can undermine revolutionary efforts.

The essay serves as a call to action, urging revolutionaries to maintain vigilance and actively engage in the process of self-transformation.

It remains a relevant text for understanding the challenges of maintaining revolutionary momentum and the importance of internal critique.
