Andrei Zhdanov: Under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, the Party is organizing the masses for the struggle to destroy capitalist elements once and for all, to eradicate the vestiges of capitalism in our economy and in people's minds, and to complete the technical reconstruction of our national economy. The eradication of vestiges of capitalism in people's consciousness means struggle against every vestige of bourgeois influence over the proletariat, against laxity, frivolity or idling, against petty-bourgeois license and individualism, against graft and dishonesty towards social property. We hold a trusty weapon to overcome all the difficulties in our path. This weapon is the great and invincible teaching of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, now being put into practice by our Party. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
