An attempt has been made to discuss Maoist practice in terms of Maoist theory and vice versa. This may have made the discussion somewhat dry at many points. But this is unavoidable. In communism, theory and practice go together. Theory enlightens practice; and practice tests, embodies and illustrates theory. Theory provides a background, a perspective, a frame of reference. Without understanding communist ideology, isolated communist slogans and tactics appear to be discrete, discontinuous and devious, But with a knowledge of communist theory, all communist zigzags, detours, contradictory slogans and programmes acquire a new significance and become part of a developing offensive.
In fact, if we understood communism as a whole,
dialectically, then we would not have made the mistake we
did in interpreting Maoist China, in understanding its motiveforce, direction and aims.
