How well written is the nation's first Marxist-Leninist big-character poster and the *People's Daily* commentator's commentary! Comrades, please reread this big-character poster and this commentary. However, in more than fifty days, certain leading comrades from the Central to the local levels have acted in the opposite direction, standing on the reactionary bourgeois position, implementing bourgeois dictatorship, suppressing the vigorous Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution movement of the proletariat, reversing right and wrong, confusing black and white, encircling and suppressing the revolutionary faction, suppressing dissenting opinions, implementing white terror, thinking themselves triumphant, boosting the arrogance of the bourgeoisie, and extinguishing the spirit of the proletariat, how poisonous it is! In connection with the Right-leaning in 1962 and the erroneous tendency of being "Left" in form but Right in essence in 1964, isn't it thought-provoking?
