Quote

The serious problem is the education of the peasantry. The peasant economy is scattered, and the socialization of agriculture, judging by the Soviet Union's experience, will require a long time and painstaking work. Without socialization of agriculture, there can be no complete, consolidated socialism.

More quotes by Mao Zedong

Image
I am hated by many, especially comrade Pang Dehuai, his hatred is so intense that he wished me dead. My policy with Pang Dehuai is such: You don't touch me, I don't touch you You touch me, I touch you. Even though we were once like brothers, it doesn't change a thing.
Mao Zedong
Image
Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment.
Mao Zedong

Morality begins at the point of a gun.

The government burns down whole cities while the people are forbidden to light lamps.
Mao Zedong
Image
Conditions are changing all the time, and to adapt one's thinking to the new conditions, one must study. Even those who have a better grasp of Marxism and are comparatively firm in their proletarian stand have to go on studying, have to absorb what is new and study new problems.
Mao Zedong

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.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our stand is that of the proletariat and of the masses. For members of the Communist Party, this means keeping to the stand of the Party, keeping to Party spirit and Party policy.
Mao Zedong
Image
The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution. This Marxist-Leninist principle of revolution holds well universally, for China and for all other countries.
Mao Zedong
Image
Kunlun Mountain Over the earth the greenblue monster Kunlun who has seen all spring color and passion of men. Three million dragons of white jade soar and freeze the whole sky with snow. When a summer sun heats the globe rivers flood and men turn into fish and turtles. Who can judge a thousand years of accomplishments or failures?
Mao Zedong
Image
Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.
Mao Zedong
Image
Not just in China, but everywhere in the world without exception, one either leans to the side of imperialism or the side of socialism. Neutrality is mere camouflage a third road does not exist.
Mao Zedong
Image
If we did ten things, nine were bad and got disclosed by the newspapers, we will be over. Then I will go, to the countryside, lead the peasant and revolt. If the Liberation Army do not follow me, I will get the Red Army.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is a very good thing, and a significant one too, to exterminate the bourgeoisie and capitalism in China.

Women hold up half the sky.
Mao Zedong

Every Communist working in the mass movements should be a friend of the masses and not a boss over them, an indefatigable teacher and not a bureaucratic politician.
Mao Zedong
Image
Anyone who sees only the bright side but not the difficulties cannot fight effectively for the accomplishment of the Party's tasks.
Mao Zedong
Image
No political party can possibly lead a great revolutionary movement to victory unless it possesses revolutionary theory and knowledge of history and has a profound grasp of the practical movement.
Mao Zedong
Image
Just because we have won victory, we must never relax our vigilance against the frenzied plots for revenge by the imperialists and their running dogs. Whoever relaxes vigilance will disarm himself politically and land himself in a passive position.
Mao Zedong
Image
Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
Mao Zedong
Image
Ours is a people's democratic dictatorship, led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.
