Combat Liberalism by Mao Zedong

Fascinating little read. Talks about the well intentions of liberal ideology, but the lack of commitment to action in the face of loss or discomfort. Definitely memorable.

"People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well--they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work."
