The broad masses of working people in our country warmly welcome and fully support the militia system. This is because, throughout their long revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism, and the reactionary Kuomintang clique—puppets of foreign powers—they came to realize that only by arming themselves could they defeat the armed counterrevolutionaries and become the true masters of this fertile land. After the revolution’s victory, they further saw that imperialist bandits abroad continued to brazenly proclaim their intention to destroy the people’s state. Consequently, the entire population resolved to remain armed and declared: “You robbers who are bent on plundering us, beware! Do not even think of laying a hand on us peaceful workers. We are ready.” Should imperialism dare to launch an aggressive war against our country, we will then implement a nationwide policy of全民皆兵. The militia will cooperate with the People’s Liberation Army, stand ready to reinforce it at any time, and utterly rout the aggressors.
