ABSTRACT

Socialist commerce wholeheartedly serves the people. It is first and foremost a new brand of commerce that serves the workers, peasants, and soldiers. The variety of products carried, the variety of services rendered, the method of purchasing and marketing, office hours, network and location, trading procedures and systems all take into account the needs and convenience of the workers, peasants, and soldiers. Liu Shao-ch'i tried his best to promote bourgeois "variety" and wanted socialist commerce to handle messy feudalist, capitalist, and revisionist commodities to satisfy the needs of bourgeois officials, and misses. Liu Shao-ch'i's "to serve the whole people" negates the class nature of socialist commerce. The masses of workers, peasants, and soldiers are the creators of history, the masters of our times, and the main forces of socialist revolution and socialist construction. The renegade, and scab Liu Shao-ch'i made a big fanfare over "to serve the whole people" in a vain attempt to transform the nature of socialist commerce.
