CONFIDENrnt
1 ISTRIBUTION
Bolshevik agitation is an extremely important instrument for the politico-
ideological education of the masses. It aims to explain to all their role
and their obligations in the application of the decisions of the, party and
the government, thus mobilizing the masses of the population.
In many instances, the political work carried out among the masses by the
party organizations is unsatisfactory and does not meet the needs of the day.
A common fault among agitators is their failure to address the masses in suf-
ficiently concrete, aggressive, and convincing terms. Too frequently they
speak to workers and peasants in inappropriate phraseology, without reference
to the real ideals and aspirations of the masses. The Albanian agitators
should imitate their Soviet counterparts who have learned to address workers
and farmers in a language which they understand and to speak in specific terms,
never failing to point out how their efforts will be rewarded in the form of
increased consumer goods, etc.
It must never be forgotten that the agitator is also a Stakhanovite whose
duty it is to help develop the Stakhanovite spirit in others, aid in the comr
bating of foreign spies, kulek elements, and ideology, and make the citizens
aware of their obligations to the party and the government. Unfortunately,
there are agitators, for example, in Luahnje, who not only fail to fight the
kulaks but even go so far as to say, "The kulaks are all gone. There are no
more kulaks left."
Experienr~ has taught that party agitation is most successful when the
agitators themselves set examples. The record of Kako Goranxise, agitator
in Gjirokaster, is a case in point, while those of agitators Demir Balla,
Shyqyri Culi, and others, from Durres district, are truly deplorable.
