The Centralized Leadership of the Party

The Party Constitution stipulates that 'state organs, the People's Liberation Army and the militia, labor unions, poor and lower-middle peasant associations, women's federations, the Communist Youth League, the Red Guards, the Little Red Guards, and other revolutionary mass organizations must all accept the centralized leadership of the Party'. Every Communist Party member must reinforce the concept of the Party, consciously obeying and supporting the centralized leadership of the Party. To reinforce the centralized leadership of the Party has consistently been a brilliant idea of Chairman Mao. In order to strengthen the centralized leadership of the Party, the Party committees at every level must begin with the Party's basic line, take hold of the essential matters, and take hold of them firmly. Strengthening the centralized leadership of the Party and bringing into full play the leadership function of the proletarian vanguards and the exemplary vanguard role of the Communist Party member cannot be separate from one another.
