and express their own opinions.

d) The political cadre will at the end of every discussion
make a summary of the principal points, leading them to the
correct conclusions. Any serious difference with the
objectives of the movement should be noted by the cadre and
reported to the comandante of the force. If necessary, a
combined group meeting will be held and the team of
political cadres will explain and rectify the
misunderstanding.

cooperation that will help in the discussion and exchange of
ideas.

■ Combine the different points of view and reach an opinion or
common conclusion. This is the most difficult task of a political
guerrilla cadre. After the group discussions of the democratic
objectives of the movement, the chief of the team of political
cadres of the guerrilla force should combine the conclusions of
individual groups in a general summary. At a meeting with all the
