Establish Revolutionary Committees
(1967)

In those places and units where it is necessary to seize power, the revolutionary principle of the "three-in-one combination" must be implemented, so as to establish a provisional organ of power that is revolutionary, representative, and possesses proletarian authority. As for the name of this organ of power, it is good to call it a Revolutionary Committee.
