1. 1. Combat Liberalism

   

   The essay warns against a tendency called “liberalism” — a softness, vacillation, and reluctance to criticize mistakes — that undermines organizational discipline, revolutionary initiative, and ties with the masses; it argues that indulgence, passivity, and failure to carry out criticism and self-criticism breed bureaucratism and weaken struggle. It calls for firm, principled discipline, active criticism and self-criticism, adherence to the mass line, and a balance between resolute struggle and flexible tactics so the movement can maintain unity, mobilize popular support, and defeat its enemies.

2. 2. On Guerrilla Warfare

   

   A concise manual presenting a theory and practical guide for conducting guerrilla war, arguing that a small, politically organized revolutionary force can survive and grow by mobilizing the peasantry, creating secure base areas, using mobility, surprise and flexible tactics, and combining protracted guerrilla operations with conventional actions as conditions permit. It stresses the centrality of political work, intelligence, local logistics drawn from the population, decentralized initiative and discipline, and outlines a three-stage progression from strategic defense to strategic stalemate and finally to strategic offense, with detailed advice on organization, tactics, supply, and propaganda.

3. 3. On The Correct Handling Of Contradictions Among The People

   

   The work argues that social contradictions fall into antagonistic and non‑antagonistic categories and that they require different methods of resolution: antagonistic contradictions must be confronted firmly, while non‑antagonistic contradictions among the people should be handled through investigation, persuasion, discussion, criticism and education rather than suppression. It emphasizes the constructive role of managed dissent and mass participation, the importance of correct leadership and policies to hear and rectify mistakes, and the practice of criticism and self‑criticism to preserve unity, promote progress in socialist construction, and prevent non‑antagonistic differences from becoming antagonistic.

4. 4. On Practice And Contradiction

   

   The essay argues that genuine knowledge arises from practice and is confirmed through iterative cycles of action, reflection and further practice; it emphasizes that contradictions are universal and the driving force of development, so correctly identifying and treating different kinds of contradictions (antagonistic versus non-antagonistic) and analyzing concrete conditions are essential to solving problems; the piece links theory to mass-based action, stresses the materialist-dialectical method, and insists that transforming subjective understanding into objective effectiveness requires continual engagement with real-world practice.

5. 5. Oppose Book Worship

   

   A polemic against blind reliance on texts and abstract doctrine, arguing that study divorced from investigation and practice produces sterile, ineffective thinking; it urges critics and cadres to test theories in concrete conditions, critically adapt general principles to local realities rather than mechanically copying foreign models, and to learn through direct experience so ideas remain flexible, useful, and anchored in the lived struggle for social and political change.

6. 6. On Contradiction

   

   An essay asserting that contradiction is the fundamental driving force in all phenomena, arguing that every thing and process contains opposing aspects whose interaction produces change; it distinguishes the universal from the particular, principal from secondary contradictions, and antagonistic from non‑antagonistic forms, emphasizing that concrete analysis of the specific conditions and the principal aspect of a contradiction is necessary for correct theory and effective practice, and that knowledge develops through engagement with and resolution of these contradictions.
