The young generation occupies a special place in social environment.
It is very much part of society. The young and rising generation
constitutes a representative of the future in the broadest sense; the
future of any society depends on the practical and spiritual molding of
the youth.
All societies pay special attention to the youth. No revolution
can be victorious without the effective education, organisation and
mobilisation of the youth into political action. It is none other than
the youth (especially the working youth) who form the core of the
‘political’ and ‘military’ armies of the revolution.
Their youthful energy enables them to perform great feats in the
theatre of battle; enables them to be the most active transmitters of
ideas and skills; their zeal spreads into their surroundings like
wild-fire. The youth acts as the motive force of the revolution.
The working youth forms the most consistent and reliable section of
the revolutionary movement ‘and when they join the struggle of the
working class, they fight for their own cause, and grow and become
stronger in the struggle’.
The links they have with the most advanced and revolutionary class,
their common class interests and objectives with the working class as a
whole, accords the working youth a leading position in the revolutionary
youth movement.
We always need to examine the revolutionary potential of the working
youth on the basis of a comprehensive and profound study of their
socio-economic, legal and political status. Consideration should be
given to the fact that their involvement in large-scale capitalist
production is a historically proven phenomenon.
It brings them face to face with their oppressors and this teaches them excellent lessons in class education.
Historically the section of student youth has been the organised and
dynamic social force. The student youth have and continue to contribute
and participate in the revolutionary struggle of our people.
It is correct to recognise the necessity for students to organise
themselves as students and to define their sector of struggle against
the common enemy
As an integral part of society, the youth section is charged with the
specialised task of fulfilling the strategic objectives of the movement
with the greater involvement of the youth. It has the responsibility of
organising, mobilising and guiding all our youth into participation in
the revolutionary struggle of our people.
It does not act as a separate organism but as a reliable reserve and
shock force of the movement. Since the growth of the nation lies in the
recruitment of new forces, mostly young, the youth section should act as
a nursery of the revolutionary upbringing of those who come into the
movement.
The youth in our country, like young people everywhere in the world,
are searching for genuine ideals and values which they can live by, and
for revolutionary ways to win them. Thus the Freedom Charter has become
deeply rooted in the hearts of our youth.
Their involvement in mass democratic political actions and quest for
revolutionary theory and grasp for the primacy of organisation, are
features characteristic of the process of involving our youth in
struggle. These are due to the objective conditions under which they
mobilise, organise and fight.
The subjective factor is equally significant: the correct ideological
and political orientation of the youth, the ability of the movement
(and in particular the youth section) to impart to the protests by the
youth a conscious and organised nature. Our ability to educate them in a
genuine revolutionary spirit is a key factor.
The future of any movement or nation is dependent also on the
integration of the youth in the political and other social activities.
The grooming of those who have to ensure that the genuine aspirations of
the people are fully realised demands a conscious effort on the part of
the revolutionary movement.
The inexperience of the young provides the opportunity for a
systematic process of political upbringing. This involves bold decisions
in giving heavy responsibilities to the youth. We correctly say the
future is in their hands.
