'''Truth''' is that which is in accordance with [[reality]]. The opposite of truth is [[falsehood]]. A statement can be indicated to be true or false by [[evidence]]. One method of demonstrating the veracity of a claim is [[Praxis|practical application]]: Ideas that are correct generally succeed in practice while those that are incorrect generally fail.<ref>{{Citation|author=[[Mao Zedong]]|year=1963|title=Where Do Correct Ideas Come From?|title-url=https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:Where_do_correct_ideas_come_from%3F|mia=https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-9/mswv9_01.htm}}</ref>
'''Truth''' refers to what that can be proven correct through [[Praxis|practice]]. The three sources of practice that can determine what is correct are [[Science|scientific]] experimentation, [[class struggle]], and the struggle for [[production]]. Ideas that are true or correct generally succeed in practice while those that are incorrect usually fail.<ref>{{Citation|author=[[Mao Zedong]]|year=1963|title=Where Do Correct Ideas Come From?|title-url=https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:Where_do_correct_ideas_come_from%3F|mia=https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-9/mswv9_01.htm}}</ref>
