The renegade and traitor Lin Piao's political programme for usurping Party leadership, seizing state power and restoring capitalism was to return to the rites and the theoretical programme of his return to the rites was his theory of genius. This article exposes and criticizes Lin Piao's theory of with regard to philosophy, natural science and social science.The idealist theory of that Lin Piao energetically preached for many years, the article points out, deceived number of people. This can be traced to the fact that the poisonous influence of the theory of the trumpeted by Kung Chiu (Confucius) more than 2,000 years ago was far from being eliminated.Kung Chiu's theory of the can be summed up as life and death are preordained, riches and honours from and his bragging that he was genius and sage born with knowledge. The idea of the played twin role at that time. On the one hand, it combined the heavenly mandate and the ruler into one, propagating the divine right of the rulers who had the mandate of heaven to govern human affairs. On the other hand, it was spiritual shackle to benumb and bind the ruled.Lin Piao picked up this kind of rubbish and turned it into the basis of his counter-revolutionary theoretical programme--the theory of ''genius.'' This and the theoryof the are intertwined. Listing numerous outstanding achievements attained by the working people under the leadership of the proletariat in socialist revolution and construction in post-liberation New China, the article provides powerful rebuttal to Lin Piao's shameless lies. Precisely as Chairman Mao has pointed out; Correct ideas come from social practice, and from it alone; they from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment.Lin Piao babbled that he had a good head and my parents gave it me, that is, he had inherited it from his ancestors. The dialectical materialist theory of knowledge points out that man's ability and knowledge can be acquired only through social practice. But, out of his ulterior motives, Lin Piao prattled that man's ability and knowledge were inherent and could be attributed to man's natural make-up. This article gives wealth of scientific facts to refute Lin Piao's theory of which consists of only nonsense that flies in the face of natural science.The theory of pushed by Lin Piao, the article concludes, is precisely traditional product of the reactionary ideological system of the landlord class and bourgeoisie. It is reactionary politically, idealist ideologically and simply variety of the notorious eugenics in social science. All such trash serves the reactionary ruling classes by fooling and hoodwinking the masses and poisoning their minds. The essence is to create the theoretical basis for the reactionary ruling classes to launch aggressive wars abroad and carry out fascist rule at home.
