In the final analysis, national struggle is a matter of class struggle. Among the whites in the United States, it is only the reactionary ruling circles that oppress the black people. They can in no way represent the workers, farmers, revolutionary intellectuals and other enlightened persons who comprise the overwhelming majority of the white people.
Mao ZedongIn class society everyone lives as a member of a particular class, and every kind of thinking, without exception, is stamped with the brand of class.
Mao ZedongThe Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.
Mao ZedongAt certain times in the revolutionary struggle, the difficulties outweigh the favorable conditions and so constitute the principal aspect of the contradiction and the favorable conditions constitute the secondary aspect. But through their efforts the revolutionaries can overcome the difficulties step by step and open up a favorable new situation, thus a difficult situation yields place to a favorable one.
