If there were no contradictions and no struggle, there would be no world, no process, no life, and there would be nothing at all.

The main form of struggle is war; the main form of organization is the army... . Without armed struggle there would be no place for the proletariat, there will be no place for the people, there will be no place for the Communist Party, and there will be no victory in revolution.

Our difficulties can be overcome because we are new and rising forces and have a bright future.
