Political Operation Plan for the Intense Party-wide, Nationwide,
and Demographic-wide Extermination of Anti-Socialist Activities.’
The highlighted text outlines a plan to “eradicate activities that
amount to ensnarement in the enemy’s ideological and cultural
invasion efforts” and to “send down lectures and political
materials to all party organizational units, so that workers can
carry out political operations appropriate to each unit in factories,
