A Vanguard of the Central Cultural Revolution Group: Qi Benyu and the 'Cultural Revolution' (III)

Comrades must have enemies in their minds, have enemies! Have enemies! Do not treat our comrades as enemies, and do not only have civil war in your minds while letting the real enemies laugh at us from behind—letting imperialism, revisionism, reactionaries of various countries, Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Tao Zhu, Wang Renzhong, and Li Jingquan laugh at us behind our backs. We must have enemies in our minds, have a sense of enemy activity, and heighten our vigilance."
