This is a wrong course the Chinese comrades are trying to lead us on to, it is an opportunist road of vacillation and concessions to the Khrushchev traitor group which finds itself in grave difficulties, and is intriguing in order to escape defeat.

A country where a man is afraid to criticise another one is no socialist country.

Even if we have to go without bread, we Albanians do not violate principles. We do not betray Marxism - Leninism.

No force, no torture, no intrigue can eradicate Marxism-Leninism from the minds and hearts of men.

The sacrifices of our people were very great. Out of a population of one million, 28,000 were killed, 12,600 wounded, 10,000 were made political prisoners in Italy and Germany, and 35,000 made to do forced labour, of ground; all the communications, all the ports, mines and electric power installations were destroyed, our agriculture and livestock were plundered, and our entire national economy was wrecked.

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was neither a revolution, nor great, nor cultural, and, in particular, not in the least proletarian.

When the enemy attacks you, this means that you are on the right road.
