Literacy drives, public libraries, and mass evening classes began to fulfil the second tenet in earnest. The Party also instituted "self-critique days" in industrial workshops in an early (if limited) attempt at the sixth tenet, encouraging collectivised improvement across factory floors and workgroups.

The first inklings of the seventh tenet appeared in workers' councils that argued progress should be measured in well-being, not production tonnage.
