ABSTRACT
Liu Shao-ch'i replaced Party leadership with "single line leadership" and "regulations in command." Socialist commerce must resolutely adhere to proletarian dictatorship in command and firmly grasp class struggle in order to consolidate the proletarian leadership. Commercial work involves the handling of money and goods and is in constant touch with all sorts of people. Commercial work must rely wholeheartedly on the working class and the poor and lower-middle peasants, and conscientiously accept mass supervision. In the struggle-criticism-transformation period of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the poor and lower-middle peasants managed rural commerce, and the worker and peasant masses supervised urban commerce. This revolution thoroughly smashed Liu Shao-ch'i's fine dream of "factory management by experts." The supervision and management of commerce by the worker and peasant masses is a concrete application of Chairman Mao's mass line in commercial work and is an important part of struggle-criticism-transformation on the commercial front.
