The Necessity of a Revolutionary Party
The masses require a revolutionary party to educate and guide them in their struggle against colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. The party must have deep connections with the masses and develop a mass line based on their experiences and needs. Correct ideas and programs can only be produced through mass work and real links with the people. Revolutionary organizations that are disconnected from actual mass work are amateurs, not true revolutionaries.
