Careerism

Careerism is the selfish pursuit of one's own career and its advancement over the interests of the revolutionary movement. Careerism is disruptive to party work and compromises communist principles.

"At no time and in no circumstances should a Communist place his personal interests first; he should subordinate them to the interests of the nation and of the masses. Hence, selfishness, slacking, corruption, seeking the limelight, and so on, are most contemptible, while selflessness, working with all one's energy, whole-hearted devotion to public duty, and quiet hard work will command respect." —Mao Zedong
