ABSTRACT
Chairman Mao has stated that in every place and unit where power must be seized, the policy of a revolutionary "three-way alliance" must be carried out to establish a provisional organ of power which is revolutionary and representative and has proletarian authority. This organ of power should preferably be called a revolutionary committee. The great People's Liberation Army is the mainstay of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Chairman Mao's call to the People's Liberation Army to support actively the broad masses of the revolutionary Left is a matter of great strategic significance. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is a thoroughly revolutionized army of the proletariat, unmatched in the world. The attitude toward the People's Liberation Army means the attitude toward the dictatorship of the proletariat, and it is an important criterion for distinguishing whether or not a person is a genuine revolutionary Leftist.
