Our party, which struggles for and organised to take power, have to do its strategic and actual practical duties, responsibilities in order to follow the needs of being secret organization and illegal work, and must act in accordance to this. In the political struggle, the organization and leadership are forming the most strategic points and institutions. Political and organizational works need continuality. This continuality can only be achieved by an organization and leadership that provides its own continuality. Of course, the continuality that we are mentioning here is not only for continuality of self existence, it is also for a continuality of leadership that successfully organizes and directs the struggle for power.

The enemy is trying to reach ideological and political liquidation also by, together with other things, the way of organizational liquidation. In our geography, the existence of many organizations have been endangered and even liquidated by the strategic operations that carried out frequently and one after another. Or they have been left to struggle to be alive as a small organization. During formation of our party, the liquidation and becoming small organizations were on important level in our geography. Our party which was formed by the unification revolution was a stand against this on many aspects. This process that developed in the world and in our geography couldn't take us inside of itself. But, on the contrary, our party have insisted on distancing from this tendency and showed a conscious practical stand against it. Because they have not been able to surrender our party on ideological and political points of view, the political police is now trying to make our party powerless and ineffective through organizational operations, survialance, torture, kidnapping, assassinating, Cell type prisons and by trying to make people secret agents in order to realize the ideological and political liquidation of the party some time. Furthermore, they are also trying to force us to work legal and for that reason they are preparing the way for legalization. Of course, it is a revolutionary duty to make good use of this working area and its opportunities in revolutionary way, but it is also one of our strategic revolutionary duties to stand against this legalizing or restricting works within the opportunities of legal work. Against such attempts, that try to restrict us, the fight must be carried out strategically. Insist on illegal organization and illegal work is an ideological stand. Struggle against political police and the question of organizational security is a political question. Doubtlessly, it also contains technical aspects.

The political police, which specialized by the ruling classes as a instrument of war against revolutionaries, communists and leaders of mass movement, is dealing with our party very closely. Their approach towards our party that contains the dynamics of renewing itself and works insistently in the struggle for revolution and socialism is more serious. The "short" history of our party shows that we are conscious and have important force, potential and consciousness of leadership. Developments in our country and in the world shows that the class struggle is going to continue more hardly and because of that the question of ideology, policy and, of course, those going to turn this into a material force, the organization/party and the leadership are becoming key issues. This is why the ruling classes are mercilessly attacking the organization, the consciousness of organization and institution of leadership. After the unification work and unification revolution, the works and attacks of the political police towards our party have intensified. They wanted to obstacle our party's development by the police operations that conducted one after another. They did achieve important successes too. They did not satisfy with physical attacks and operations they also put their secret agents on duty. They have tried to make our party ineffective and marginalized by surrounding her internally and externally. They are not satisfied with this also they will try to do more things. They will try to attack our party's most strong parts. By attacking our party unification, our ideological unity and strength, they will try to send our party back into "the world of groups", to provoke some of the petty-bourgeois attitudes that belong to ex-group feeling. They would try to damage our party's revolutionary atmosphere, internal-trust, fraternal relations. If the enemy wouldn't succeed on this than they will try to follow a politics and attacks to distance the party from the aims and make the party aimless, try to let the party to stay as a small group, let the party to be engaged in protecting itself and be marginalized.

On what sort of things does the enemy lean on when trying to attack and liquidate our party?

a) They lean on to their own opportunities. Opportunities that brought by being on power. Technique, education, financial means, years of examinations and experiences, support of the international organizations.

b) Secret agents and collaborators within the masses.

c) Secret agents and people (if there is) helping them within the revolutionary organizations.

d) Errors, weaknesses, and indirectly wrong politics and tactics of the revolutionary organizations and militants, too.

e) Statements and confessions under the torture of political police, violation of working style in security and rules.

f) Different deciphers those made within the party publications and during communication.

The enemy gives importance to intelligence work. They will concretize their works through information, data, proof received from this work. They would draw practical duties. We are witnessing some of their complaints about weaknesses of their intelligence work in some important developments. The Turkish ruling classes and their political police have gained important experiences in their intelligence work in the last years. The more success they have the more they give importance to this work. They do not restrict them selves with intelligence work, they also conducting a work inside the organizations that could influence the politics inside the organization. We do, some time, mention the capital's secret agents in the trade unions and in some of the associations. These secret agents are described in such way, because they work according to the interests and policies of the capital.

The enemies' works to place secret agents within the revolutionary organizations and parties goes very past. They also trying to make weak personalities in the revolutionary ranks as secret agents or benefit from them as helper. We did find such people in the ranks of our party as well and punished them as they deserved. This was published in our party publication. We cannot fully stop the infiltrations. But it is possible to identify, reveal and ineffective them. Again we can minimize the damage within the party works that could be given by enemy elements.

The people who became secret agents are coming from the ranks of workers and toilers. Again, having Kurdish and Alevi identification was used as camouflage. The people who turned into secret agents from their college time or at even younger ages are doing this without having consciousness on what they are being doing. These people are being deceived with illusions on ostentatious life or adventure of what they are doing and without any consciousness. Yes, the political police use the weak elements of workers, toilers or their children for their own interests and against our struggle, the struggle of workers and toilers.

The main aim and duty of the enemy elements those placed in a revolutionary party or organization is to give damage to that organization or party. As it can be understood here, they will give or they will have to give shortage in practice. We should look at their practices to understand them or bring them to an open. Of course, here is the question of, what do we understand from practice, is very important. Our party's program, the strategy, tactics and our work to put them in daily practice, all of these serves one single aim: to overthrow the power of the ruling classes, establish revolution and socialism. The enemy within the party will work to obstruct this. For this reason, the work of the enemy can be easily understood and brought to an open within the party. Daily work, life and the duties within the party of a communist consist in realizing in practice the programmatically and strategic thoughts of our party. Every negative point seen here and violation of party program and strategy are the points those should take our attentions. As it's known, differences of thoughts and ideological struggle in our party is not prohibited. But, it can not be hold with out principles. The principles, laws of our party also declare how to conduct this. We should not mix this with the things have said above. According to the enemy elements those brought to an open, it understood that their main aims are to get information, to give damage to inner party atmosphere, to blow internal trust and comradely relations, pull party to a right opportunist-legal party or turn it to a left adventurism. Are these things that could be done very easily inside the communist party? This depends on that communist party's organization, management and on the organization of practical works suitable to its own program and strategy.

Of course, such thoughts, attitudes will not be enough if we consider them separated from each other in order to expose enemy elements within the work of the party. This also covers the danger of the possibility of misunderstanding correct revolutionary thoughts and attitudes. Every "wrong" thoughts and attitudes must be supported by other elements and evidences and be evaluated with the entire context, than it can be of importance.

Our party's, party organizations and militants weaknesses, errors are the friends of the enemy and of those secret agents who succeed in entering into the party.

The enemy is always interested in our weaknesses. They would want go deep from there. They would analyze all positive and negative sides of every militant. How would they do that? By following, by information received under torture, by our weaknesses and errors those seen in practice, by reports given by secret agents. They will do analyzes on our party and on every militant and they will centralize their information and data. The enemy and their secret agents would attack our party's and her militants strong and developing sides. They will use many tools at the same time. Follow, abuse, threat, detention etc. They will use liquidation to stop development of our party and her activists. The enemy is scared of a militant and revolutionary who makes examination, research, who is asking questions and learning etc. They will attack him/her. They will try to liquidate our best ones.

Some examples from the efforts of the secret agents those were able to enter into party ranks.

> They will spend enormous efforts not to be blown. They will always scare that at the end they would be blown. They will set an action plan after analyzing specialties of the organ or leader that they have been in connection with. Opportunist and liberal style are their living areas. They will try to distance themselves from all controls. They will always talk about what they have done, will talk about many opportunities but they won't create concrete things.

> The duties of secret agents those who were able to enter into party ranks are different from each other. Some of them will try to damage party relation, some of them will try to pull party line to the left or right, some of them directly will try to get information and go to higher organs, some of them will show anarchist attitudes and try to create groups like mafia etc. Each of them will try to do their duties within the party.

The following points which were explained by the enemy elements that were blown are very important. The enemy will spread distrust on the leadership of the party through their elements in the party, will discuss the leadership, accuse the leadership of leftist or rightist deviations, of going behind some other political parties, they will use weaknesses against the party, in criticisms they will follow destruction manner.

> The enemy elements are conducting special attitudes to destroy and destruct the organ that they work in and on the secretary of the organ. By making the organ secretary ineffective, they are trying to damage the works of the organ and turn it to an organ that only deals with itself. They will prepare themselves for the place of secretary by shaking their authority. For this purpose, they will try to form and develop "special" relations with other members of the organ. In spite of comradely relations and party norms, they will try to achieve their relation by forming different relation those in contrary of party relations. They will use weakness and errors of the secretary. They will demoralize secretary comrade, try to let him/her to loose self-confidence and try him/her to turn inside by using those weaknesses, etc.

> The cadres those making researches, examinations, are asking questions, that is to say those containing potential to become good revolutionaries or good leaders are their special target. First they will try to push them out of the struggle and the party. If they would not succeed on this then they will let him to be imprisoned by an operation.

> The enemy elements in the party will try to push our party to make mistakes against working class and labouring people. They will try to reduce attraction of the party. They will develop practices, ways and methods those in contrary of the party culture and style.

> They will plan to bring some of our party militants against each other or against the party. They will try to give damage to self-confidence of those comrades by forcing them to make errors and they will plan to bring them face to face with party by pulling party's criticisms on those comrades. They will try party to make errors, try activists to commit "mistakes". By moving from this, they will aim at creating a psychology of a "guilty person" on the revolutionary militant and activist. Here, their aim is to turn cadres into passive and dilemmatic cadres. Their aim is the militant to loose self-confidence. The aim is to reach that they stay passive with the intention not to damage the party and that they only hesitatingly do they revolutionary duties. And the aim is also a party that does not trust its activists. If the enemy is aware of the errors and weaknesses of the activist then they will try to hide themselves there or to nest in the weaknesses or errors. Even they will try to enter into the activist or party by using those points. This sometimes would be carried out in natural way, and sometimes this point would be a concentration point when that militant or activist were in detention or torture.

> They will organize systematic follow. They will organize the follows by using other comrades or from points those being confirmed before. By following the comrade, they will try he/she to do error, try to find out about some opportunities and identification of other comrades. They will try to take photos of comrades and to film them and document all the information in order to use it against the comrades. In detention they will say, "Look, we know what you are doing and which people you are meeting. These things can let you to go into prison for many years. Also if the organization would learn about this error of yours they will punish you and won't trust you" etc. They will aim increase of party criticisms on this comrade, evaluation of him as a comrade that is not being careful and weak about work in security and will aim distrust on him/her on this point.

With systematic follows, they will turn a militant not being able to do duties. By gradually creating a psychology of "this will not work", they will aim to spread of a thought that "people can't work better in illegal work, and they won't become able to do any work" and they will aim people to distance themselves from an illegal work and change their minds on illegal work. They will try to force the party only to organize legal works. Of course, the aim here is also to support legalization with actual situation.

> While comrades from the party or other comrades are engaged with follows, they will let the spy of enemy to do their own work more comfortable. The controlling within the party would also be weakened.

The enemy will do its works by benefiting from our errors and weaknesses. Our errors and weaknesses are not just negatively effecting the party's development, at the same time they are preparing opportunity for the enemy to settle and reproduce inside of us. This is also one of the important reasons of why those spies who were able to enter inside of us couldn't be blown for many years. Our errors and weakness are the friends of the enemy. They are the places for the enemy to live.

Let's enumerate some of our errors and weaknesses which the enemy especially benefits from.

> We did mention our weaknesses and errors those seen in illegal works in our previous articles. We should continue to follow our basic principle, to know what has to be known, to know things that will help us in our work. We must know that talking everything in everywhere and with everyone will not bring us anything positive. We should not talk, share everything with everyone but, at the same time, we should not listen to everything that is explained, if there will be someone talking about everything, then we must stop him. Let's end violation of illegality rules in our comradely talks.

> We should not discuss our party's line and general tactics everywhere, and if we see one doing so we should stop them.

> The enemy will benefit from negativities like unhappiness, dissatisfaction, damage of comradely relations, criticising the party and comrades in destruction manner etc. They will make them as sources of spreading distrust to the party leadership and to the party.

> Problems on the feelings, unhealthy searches, and sexual weaknesses are the important points which the enemy tries to benefit from. In spite of totally natural love and such relations, they will provoke bourgeoisie's perverseness. As it's understood from the explanations of enemy elements which were blown, first they are analyzing the stand of activists on this points even they are testing them. They are drawing action plan according to the situation of the party militant. It is very clear that some of the weak personalities have being entrapped through these unhealthy and distorted relations. They will be filmed. If the comrade affected is a man then they will send a woman, but if the comrade is a woman than they will send a man. They won't do this openly. They will use it as an element of blackmailing when they have detained this comrade.

> They will work more easily on the ones who feel yearning on Bourgeoisie life, the ones who carry important bourgeoisie habitats. These personalities around the party or in the party will be open to be entrapped, bought or be indirectly directed of the enemy. We have also seen that these weak personalities have been tried to be bought, entrapped by promises of a luxury life and by threatening them with death under torture and by that pulling them to their side. The people those chose to work for the enemy are also the ones yearning for this bourgeoisie life, the ones having sexual weaknesses, the ones who chose the "easy" one in spite of difficulties.

> The political police will use the relations like mother-father, wife- husband, brother, sister and child in order to force people to work for them.

> Imprisonment penalties, evidences those could make people to face detention and torture will be used as threat or elements of negotiation.

> Money and financial help, promises to send him/her outside the country, are the other tools of entrapping people.

> The ones who make statements under torture will be filmed. Recently, such cassettes have been shown to some of our comrades who had been taken to custody. Under heavy psychological torture, the Police is also trying to demoralize and damage the trust of our comrade to the party by saying "look, these people came and explained everything; your resistance makes no sense. Are you struggling, resisting for these people, they don't deserve it." They will try to clear the thought of struggle for working class and labouring people, for socialism from the mind of the comrade and try to let him think that he struggles for these individuals. Comrades who are taken to police custody should know what sort of things they will face. They should not be surprised with that.

> They will benefit from inexperience, weaknesses of our new comrades. They also will benefit from "old" comrades bad habitats. Comrades who do not renew and develop themselves will have difficulty on understanding the inner attacks of the enemy.

> The following point from the explanations of elements those were blown is also very important. In the process of practicing the decisions those taken by the party collectives, they try to change them or to practice them wrongly. They will try to destroy every thing that is developing the party, strengthening its relations with masses etc. Now, can't we see them, understand them? Of course, not all of those people who are doing these are elements of the enemy. But, we should know that these indirectly helps them and makes their work much easier. When we are practicing the decision of the party or its organizations, we must do so without damaging their spirits and in appropriate to the decision.

> They will benefit from our sectarian and narrow attitudes. They will use them to narrow the party and to damage the relations of comrades.

> They will benefit from liberal opportunist attitudes. In here, they will try to produce rightist tendencies within the inner live of the party and in the line and try to make the party legal.

> They will provoke left adventurism. We know that they are working to turn our party into left adventurer and provocateur party and through that they are trying to liquidate our party and turn it to a legal party.

Some points in the struggle against the political police

The revolutionaries of our geography have narrowly understood the struggle against the political police. They have been weak in dealing with this, in seeing the whole context of the ideological, political and organizational sides of the problem. The consequences of this narrow understanding were very sad. The work of many organisations, parties, revolutionary and communist militants had been liquidated and the organizational existence of some of them became discussable. Our geography's revolutionary organizations, which have shown great commitment on political work and revolution deserved praise, but at the same time they also deserve criticisms on the subject of struggling against the political police. We must deal with its ideological, political and organizational sides. We can't explain this with opportunities, technical superiority of the enemy. It is also very clear that we can't go further by repeating same errors. After one point, determinism, commitment won't be enough. The ideology of scientific socialism must direct our works and organizations.

We must save our selves from pragmatist, one sided attitudes when giving works to people. When we are identifying them we should look at their revolutionary life and practice. When they are doing their daily duties, we should evaluate them whether they are doing them in accordance with the party line, revolutionary values and Marxist theory or not. We have to define correctly the term of militancy. One sided evaluations may take us to wrong identifications.

Marginalizing is a fact that forced against us. This is a work of the enemy which is done in conscious. They want to distance us from the masses, they want to turn socialism into a hobby of a few intellectuals not of the working class, they are trying to cut our comrades relations with the masses and from production by putting them on to wanted list etc. The isolation they force us into makes the political police's work easy. In the struggle against the political police, the fight against marginalizing attempts is also very important. Here, having relations with masses, organizing the most progressives of them within the party, having correct policies and tactics and practicing them is very important. Struggle against the political police is one of the important fronts of the class struggle. We should know that the revolution can be realized by the conscious actions of the masses, and that the fight against the political police can be won through the conscious work of the masses.

The struggle against the political police is not just the work of the comrades who works in illegal organs. This struggle must be carried out by all areas of class struggle. This is also the work of legal organs, trade unions and legal parties.

To extremely respect and apply the security rules is the duty not just of a few but of all comrades.

Every militant should be open with his private life, works etc to the party. We must be able to explain all our works with the party line and practice. We must not have difficulty on this. There must be harmony between our life, practice and theory. We should not forget that the enemy will benefit from it if there will be negativity in this.

Our party, which struggles for and organised to take power, have to do its strategic and actual practical duties, responsibilities in order to follow the needs of being secret organization and illegal work, and must act in accordance to this.

> The enemy elements in the party will try to push our party to make mistakes against working class and labouring people. They will try to reduce attraction of the party. They will develop practices, ways and methods those in contrary of the party culture and style.

> They will plan to bring some of our party militants against each other or against the party. They will try to give damage to self-confidence of those comrades by forcing them to make errors and they will plan to bring them face to face with party by pulling party's criticisms on those comrades. They will try party to make errors, try activists to commit "mistakes". By moving from this, they will aim at creating a psychology of a "guilty person" on the revolutionary militant and activist. Here, their aim is to turn cadres into passive and dilemmatic cadres. Their aim is the militant to loose self-confidence. The aim is to reach that they stay passive with the intention not to damage the party and that they only hesitatingly do they revolutionary duties. And the aim is also a party that does not trust its activists. If the enemy is aware of the errors and weaknesses of the activist then they will try to hide themselves there or to nest in the weaknesses or errors. Even they will try to enter into the activist or party by using those points. This sometimes would be carried out in natural way, and sometimes this point would be a concentration point when that militant or activist were in detention or torture.

> They will organize systematic follow. They will organize the follows by using other comrades or from points those being confirmed before. By following the comrade, they will try he/she to do error, try to find out about some opportunities and identification of other comrades. They will try to take photos of comrades and to film them and document all the information in order to use it against the comrades. In detention they will say, "Look, we know what you are doing and which people you are meeting. These things can let you to go into prison for many years. Also if the organization would learn about this error of yours they will punish you and won't trust you" etc. They will aim increase of party criticisms on this comrade, evaluation of him as a comrade that is not being careful and weak about work in security and will aim distrust on him/her on this point.

With systematic follows, they will turn a militant not being able to do duties. By gradually creating a psychology of "this will not work", they will aim to spread of a thought that "people can't work better in illegal work, and they won't become able to do any work" and they will aim people to distance themselves from an illegal work and change their minds on illegal work. They will try to force the party only to organize legal works. Of course, the aim here is also to support legalization with actual situation.

> While comrades from the party or other comrades are engaged with follows, they will let the spy of enemy to do their own work more comfortable. The controlling within the party would also be weakened.

The enemy will do its works by benefiting from our errors and weaknesses. Our errors and weaknesses are not just negatively effecting the party's development, at the same time they are preparing opportunity for the enemy to settle and reproduce inside of us. This is also one of the important reasons of why those spies who were able to enter inside of us couldn't be blown for many years. Our errors and weakness are the friends of the enemy. They are the places for the enemy to live.

Let's enumerate some of our errors and weaknesses which the enemy especially benefits from.

> We did mention our weaknesses and errors those seen in illegal works in our previous articles. We should continue to follow our basic principle, to know what has to be known, to know things that will help us in our work. We must know that talking everything in everywhere and with everyone will not bring us anything positive. We should not talk, share everything with everyone but, at the same time, we should not listen to everything that is explained, if there will be someone talking about everything, then we must stop him. Let's end violation of illegality rules in our comradely talks.

> We should not discuss our party's line and general tactics everywhere, and if we see one doing so we should stop them.

> The enemy will benefit from negativities like unhappiness, dissatisfaction, damage of comradely relations, criticising the party and comrades in destruction manner etc. They will make them as sources of spreading distrust to the party leadership and to the party.

> Problems on the feelings, unhealthy searches, and sexual weaknesses are the important points which the enemy tries to benefit from. In spite of totally natural love and such relations, they will provoke bourgeoisie's perverseness. As it's understood from the explanations of enemy elements which were blown, first they are analyzing the stand of activists on this points even they are testing them. They are drawing action plan according to the situation of the party militant. It is very clear that some of the weak personalities have being entrapped through these unhealthy and distorted relations. They will be filmed. If the comrade affected is a man then they will send a woman, but if the comrade is a woman than they will send a man. They won't do this openly. They will use it as an element of blackmailing when they have detained this comrade.

> They will work more easily on the ones who feel yearning on Bourgeoisie life, the ones who carry important bourgeoisie habitats. These personalities around the party or in the party will be open to be entrapped, bought or be indirectly directed of the enemy. We have also seen that these weak personalities have been tried to be bought, entrapped by promises of a luxury life and by threatening them with death under torture and by that pulling them to their side. The people those chose to work for the enemy are also the ones yearning for this bourgeoisie life, the ones having sexual weaknesses, the ones who chose the "easy" one in spite of difficulties.

> The political police will use the relations like mother-father, wife- husband, brother, sister and child in order to force people to work for them.

> Imprisonment penalties, evidences those could make people to face detention and torture will be used as threat or elements of negotiation.

> Money and financial help, promises to send him/her outside the country, are the other tools of entrapping people.

> The ones who make statements under torture will be filmed. Recently, such cassettes have been shown to some of our comrades who had been taken to custody. Under heavy psychological torture, the Police is also trying to demoralize and damage the trust of our comrade to the party by saying "look, these people came and explained everything; your resistance makes no sense. Are you struggling, resisting for these people, they don't deserve it." They will try to clear the thought of struggle for working class and labouring people, for socialism from the mind of the comrade and try to let him think that he struggles for these individuals. Comrades who are taken to police custody should know what sort of things they will face. They should not be surprised with that.

> They will benefit from inexperience, weaknesses of our new comrades. They also will benefit from "old" comrades bad habitats. Comrades who do not renew and develop themselves will have difficulty on understanding the inner attacks of the enemy.

> The following point from the explanations of elements those were blown is also very important. In the process of practicing the decisions those taken by the party collectives, they try to change them or to practice them wrongly. They will try to destroy every thing that is developing the party, strengthening its relations with masses etc. Now, can't we see them, understand them? Of course, not all of those people who are doing these are elements of the enemy. But, we should know that these indirectly helps them and makes their work much easier. When we are practicing the decision of the party or its organizations, we must do so without damaging their spirits and in appropriate to the decision.

> They will benefit from our sectarian and narrow attitudes. They will use them to narrow the party and to damage the relations of comrades.

> They will benefit from liberal opportunist attitudes. In here, they will try to produce rightist tendencies within the inner live of the party and in the line and try to make the party legal.

> They will provoke left adventurism. We know that they are working to turn our party into left adventurer and provocateur party and through that they are trying to liquidate our party and turn it to a legal party.

Some points in the struggle against the political police

The revolutionaries of our geography have narrowly understood the struggle against the political police. They have been weak in dealing with this, in seeing the whole context of the ideological, political and organizational sides of the problem. The consequences of this narrow understanding were very sad. The work of many organisations, parties, revolutionary and communist militants had been liquidated and the organizational existence of some of them became discussable. Our geography's revolutionary organizations, which have shown great commitment on political work and revolution deserved praise, but at the same time they also deserve criticisms on the subject of struggling against the political police. We must deal with its ideological, political and organizational sides. We can't explain this with opportunities, technical superiority of the enemy. It is also very clear that we can't go further by repeating same errors. After one point, determinism, commitment won't be enough. The ideology of scientific socialism must direct our works and organizations.

We must save our selves from pragmatist, one sided attitudes when giving works to people. When we are identifying them we should look at their revolutionary life and practice. When they are doing their daily duties, we should evaluate them whether they are doing them in accordance with the party line, revolutionary values and Marxist theory or not. We have to define correctly the term of militancy. One sided evaluations may take us to wrong identifications.

Marginalizing is a fact that forced against us. This is a work of the enemy which is done in conscious. They want to distance us from the masses, they want to turn socialism into a hobby of a few intellectuals not of the working class, they are trying to cut our comrades relations with the masses and from production by putting them on to wanted list etc. The isolation they force us into makes the political police's work easy. In the struggle against the political police, the fight against marginalizing attempts is also very important. Here, having relations with masses, organizing the most progressives of them within the party, having correct policies and tactics and practicing them is very important. Struggle against the political police is one of the important fronts of the class struggle. We should know that the revolution can be realized by the conscious actions of the masses, and that the fight against the political police can be won through the conscious work of the masses.

The struggle against the political police is not just the work of the comrades who works in illegal organs. This struggle must be carried out by all areas of class struggle. This is also the work of legal organs, trade unions and legal parties.

To extremely respect and apply the security rules is the duty not just of a few but of all comrades.

Every militant should be open with his private life, works etc to the party. We must be able to explain all our works with the party line and practice. We must not have difficulty on this. There must be harmony between our life, practice and theory. We should not forget that the enemy will benefit from it if there will be negativity in this.
