“Only through the peoples own struggles and effort
can their emancipation be achieved, maintained and consolidated.
It cannot be bestowed or granted by any outsider. Nor can
it be fought for or secured through the efforts of anyone
except the people themselves.
Hence an attitude of gratuitously bestowing emancipation
on the masses or of fighting in their stead is wrong.”
Liu Shao-ch’i.
