LET US WIPE OUT FACTIONALISM AND STRENGTHEN THE UNITY AND COHESION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY RANKS


Treatise Published in Pamphlet Form May 10, 1933

The great leader tells of the urgent task of purging factionalists from the revolutionary ranks and completely eliminating factionalism. The factionalists did much harm to the communist movement and anti-Japanese national-liberation struggle. The factionalists undermined the unity and cohesion of the revolutionary ranks and obstructed advancement of the revolution and armed struggle against the Japanese band of robbers.

He goes on to detail the crimes of the factionalists which resulted in bitter failures and sacrifices in the communist movement. One of their gravest crimes was that they split and wrecked the Korean Communist Party. They also divided and wrecked mass organizations that were in the initial stage of formation. After the dissolution of the KCP they continued their despicable sectarian feud in Manchuria creating great difficulties in the work of rebuilding the party.

The struggle against factionalism should be organized and unfolded in close combination with the strengthening of the revolutionary ranks. The communist ranks must be build up and strengthened to conduct the struggle for the liquidation of factionalism more successfully. He says that the work of eliminating factionalism is a complicated and serious struggle that connot be finished in a short time.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

"Factionalism is a product of bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideologies, particularly of self-heroizing, fame-seeking and careerism; it has nothing in common with the revolutionary ideas of the working class"

"No counter-revolutionary ideology can seep into the minds of those who have a correct understanding of the objectives and justness of the revolutionary struggle and an attitude faithful to the revolutionary cause to the end."
