Although past successes in this direction shows that party Qrganizations havs
learned how to secure the actual participation of the peasants in unianki.ng the
intrntione and operations of the A Saks, there are still party organizations that
have not conducted this campaign along proper linen. Thus, contrary to party
teaching, the primary organization of Topojen village, Elbasan itreth, tried to
conduct a campaign against the hulaks singlehandedly, that is, without the r_ec-
esesry preliminary political work among the peasants, without explaining to
them the intentions of the kulaks end thus securing the participation of the
entire mass of peasants in the campaign. Th^ result was that the kulaks of the
viL'age were unmaoi:ed cn?y by the secretary of the primary organization and a
feu Communists.

of economic control and politicalisolation of the kulak. Thisuouid be accon-
pliehed if party organizations implemented the party directives that the Ccar.u-
nists in the village =at rely completely on the poor peasant, strengthen their
relations with the medium peau6,ut, and =,.tensify the war against tie kulak.
Party organizations in v legea must not ignore this fundamental -obligation;
otherwise, they wLll certainly be unable to carry out their obligations properly.
long ego, the party stated that the medium peasant must be its ally is building
a socialist society. There are, however, some primary organizations in villages
vhich have not underotooa the importance of an alliance with the medium peasant.
As a result, they have committed grave mistakes with harmful results to party
work in the vi711 ,bra, At Tahm. is Durres Ereth, for example, the. Ccimmmists and
the people's councils.havu acted incorrectly. By indiscriminate ,and unsyste-

by the state, these Ccsaimi Is have made war also on the melinm peasant. The
awe criticism night be made of the mistaken methods used by the Communists in
Bbemarlash village, Durres, Rreth, where they enforced certain illegal controls
against the peasants.
Fulfillment of party directives viii enable party organizations to form a
united ;.daeant front in the war against the hostile kaiak class. The work of
organizing this front must be preceded by the formulation of broad political
.objectives, so that the peasants may be convinced that the laws and orders of
the state are just and in the peasants' own int-rent. It will then be possible
to-mobilize the working' peasants to carry out the tasks assigned by the state.
By this practical e^orking method they can insure the participation of all poor
and medium peasants in the campaign against the kulak.
To intensify the war against the kulaks with the aid of all the rural
naps O2, party organizations must first deal a hard blow to all vestiges of
opportunism and any tendencies to r^lax the class war that might appear within
the ranks of the party or vrithin the rural masses. The kulaks, to hide their
criminal activities and slow up the war, appear in various guises. For example,
in their efforts to sabotage the rules and resolutions oZ the party and govern-
ment, the kulaks try to snare Communists by intermarriage.
The war is hindered whenover arty organization is in close contact with the
kaiak and does. not realize harmful effects of such contacts on the party. Thus,
in Iarbumare village, Lushaje Breth, two persons give every indication of being
kulaks, bet have not yet been unmasked as kulake.
The opportunist attitude of certain Communists in Luz village ia. the local itlt'of' Lekaj may be similarly explained. They defend the a`ulanu a they do
not carry out their tasks properly on the pretext that the latter are needy
aed suffering from vent. The kulak is a sworn enemy of the working peasants
and of the pe ji 's authority. "Can the r?i-_* change his spots?" asked Comrade
saver Roxha at the First Congress at the Agricultural Cooperatives. "No, never.
Be remains the stern enemy of the vork;.ng class, as well as of the People's
Fepdblic and of our democracy."
