...CADRES AS STUDENTS. I hope that from now on you will all read more books. Senior cadres do not even know what is materialism and what is not. How would you know? It is not easy to read books on Marxism-Leninism. What is to be done?* You could ask a teacher for help. You are all secretaries; you should all be students.

His work mixed slang, sardonic wit and radical thought in poetic-political commentary.
