βAn ideology for the New Society must
anchor itself on one ruling principle:
that the interests, objectives and needs
of the poorest of the working people
take precedence over those of the rest.β
β...In enforcing martial law, our most
difficult task did not lie in immobilizing
the enemies of the state, although that
in itself constituted a formidable task.
Rather, it lay in giving a social dimension
to all our efforts, so that the energies
otherwise spent to spread anarchy and
chaos could be transformed into a
peaceful and productive force for the
making of meaningful reforms.β
