[unclear: t] does not matter much if a person [unclear: uces] stereo-typed Party writings only [unclear: limself] to read. If he passes them on to [unclear: one] else, the number of readers is [unclear: led], and already no small harm is [unclear: to] If he has them posted up, [unclear: eographed], printed in newspapers or [unclear: ished] in book form, then the problem [unclear: mes] indeed a big one, for they can [unclear: lence] many people. And those who [unclear: luce] stereotyped Party writings always large audiences. Thus it has become [unclear: alive] to expose and destroy it."

This [unclear: typed] view of SRC must be rooted and subjected to rigorous criticism; for [unclear: ly] if to be a Marxist is anything, it is to [unclear: ntktogmatic].
