Protracted People's Permanent Revolution in One Factory is a theory that states that in underveloped countries a viable tactic to revolution is to move equipment from one side of a factory to the other such that one side (side can be any fraction, not just 50/50) is very highly developed, even exceeding the development of a factory in a highly developed country. Then, with the advanced concentration of equipment in that side of the factory, more equipment can be manufactured and moved (after being manufactured and tested) to the opposite side. After this, the factory will have reached a high level of development, having both the original equipment and newly produced equipment. This is essentially a version of Leon Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution between two countries adapted to fit one factory with an extra step at the beginning because both sides start out underveloped. Multiple factories can do this in parallel, leading to the rapid development of industry in a country. In this manner, it echos Joseph Stalin's theory of socialism in one country. This rapid change in development dialectically is too much for the ruling bourgoisie, and renders them weak enough that a protracted people's war (even if it does not take so long as to be "protracted" but the tactics are the same) can be waged for the capture of power by the proletariat. Tactically it is very versatile because it can be used where two broad areas are concerned as well instead of just two "sides" of a factory.
It is the most highly developed completion of "the merger of [Maoism, Third-Worldism, Marxism-Leninism and Trotskyism] and the workers' movement" (Die Nieue Ziet) that has yet been achieved.
Also, Pajama Sam symbolically represents adventurism.
