The basic reason for the tremendous achievement made by the Anshan Iron and Steel Works is its resolute implementation of the Party Center's and Comrade Mao Tse-tung's thought and line — adherence to exercising the Party's absolute leadership over the enterprise, launching extensive mass movements, and carrying out in depth the political and ideological revolution. In the last few years a struggle between two ideologies and two lines has been going on consistently in the course of development of the Anshan Iron and Steel Works. One line is the correct proletarian line of running enterprises — featuring an adherence to putting politics in command, exercising the Party's absolute leadership over the enterprise, and applying the work method of mass line so that the Party's concentrated leadership can be integrated with extensive mass movements and the system of factory director assuming responsibility under the Party committee's leadership can be earnestly carried out. Another is the mistaken capitalist line of running enterprises — a line that insists on "putting techniques in command," "putting economy in command," and stresses the role of "technological experts." In the course of the two-line struggle, we, led by the Party Central Committee and the Provincial Committee, have consistently persevered in the former correct line, ceaselessly opposing and criticizing the latter mistaken line. After a protracted, acute, and tortuous struggle, the Party's correct line has won a complete victory.
