Commandism

As a result of Lin Piao and the "gang of four's" reckless, unbridled sabotage of the party's various policies for the rural areas, their trampling on the production team's right to stand on its own feet, and their arbitrary orders and unscrupulous commandism, agricultural production and commune members' livelihoods were greatly jeopardized.

Two months later the Party Day editorial in Jen-min jih-pao also identified commandism as the principal problem to be overcome.

Early in 1959 there was a rectification campaign to correct commandism as a left deviation.
