To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.
Omg didn't even realize it was you that said it when I replied - knowing it was you makes it extra funny. You really are one of the best posters, everything you say is either hilarious or pertinent or both ❤️
This is referring to how to deal with other people within the Party. It's another point, the "To be among the masses" one, that addresses how to deal with non-communists in broader society.
But I will also point out that the project of agitating among the masses does not manifest in constantly being a bickering asshole. One should constantly seek to further socialism among people, but the correct way to do so varies by circumstance, and Mao would be the first person to tell you that to barge in to some space and make declarations rather than investigate -- i.e. ask genuine, non-rhetorical questions -- is idealist hubris.
I'm a better person for stopping, now I just quote Mao at inappropriate times.
Yeah Mao is correct, but maybe my grandpas eulogy wasn't the best time to read from the little red book
lol when my anticommunist ameriboo dad dies i am definitely gonna quote stalin in the funeral.
Make it something apocryphal, like "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."
lol i was planning on quoting the stalin quote about the winds of history cleaning his grave and ending it with "thats not going to happen here".
this genuinely made me lol, thought you should know ❤️😂

I was making a joke.
So was I

it makes it a lot harder in fact
I was trying to be funny. like "anything less than getting stabbed with a broken beer bottle for quoting Mao is liberalism"
Pretty sure this was to party members when they're talking to other party member in party capacity
Not when you're hanging out in your free time
what is this from, inject this shit straight into my veins
I deeply disagree with the use here on both theoretical and exegetical grounds (see my reply to him), but it's Combat Liberalism
