Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
Mao Zedong...it is impossible for a genuine people's revolution in any country to win victory without various forms of help from the international revolutionary forces.
Mao ZedongI have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever.
Mao ZedongWithout armed struggle neither the proletariat, nor the people, nor the Communist Party would have any standing at all in China and it would be impossible for the revolution to triumph. In these years [the eighteen years since the founding of the Party] the development, consolidation and bolshevization of our Party have proceeded in the midst of revolutionary wars; without armed struggle the Communist Party would assuredly not be what it is today. Comrades throughout the Party must never forget this experience for which we have paid in blood.
