硬套

1. to apply arbitrarily; to apply mechanically

   • 教條主義者不遵守這個原則，他們不了解諸種革命情況的區別，因而也不了解應當用不同的方法去解決不同的矛盾，而只是千篇一律地使用一種自以為不可改變的公式到處硬套，這就只能使革命遭受挫折，或者將本來做得好的事情弄得很壞。 [MSC, trad.]

     The dogmatists do not observe this principle; they do not understand that conditions differ in different kinds of revolution and so do not understand that different methods should be used to resolve different contradictions; on the contrary, they invariably adopt what they imagine to be an unalterable formula and arbitrarily apply it everywhere, which only causes setbacks to the revolution or makes a sorry mess of what was originally well done.
