Quote

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?

The arrow of Marxist-Leninism must be used to hit the target of the Chinese Revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
...the evil system of colonialism and imperialism arose and throve with the enslavement of Negroes and the trade in Negroes, and it will surely come to its end with the complete emancipation of the Black people.
Mao Zedong
Image
The most effective method of propaganda directed at the enemy forces is to release captured soldiers and give the wounded medical treatment... Whenever soldiers of enemy forces are captured, we immediately conduct propaganda among them...This immediately knocks the bottom out of the enemy's slander that the Communist bandits kill everyone on sight.

To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing.
Mao Zedong

There may be thousands of principles of Marxism, but in the final analysis they can be summed up in one sentence: Rebellion is justified.
Mao Zedong
Image
Let's contemplate this, how many people would die if war breaks out. There are 2.7 billion people in the world. One-third could be lost or, a little more, it could be half... I say that, taking the extreme situation, half dies, half lives, but imperialism would be razed to the ground and the whole world would become socialist.
Mao Zedong
Image
We should never pretend to know what we don't know, we should not feel ashamed to ask and learn from people below, and we should listen carefully to the views of the cadres at the lowest levels. Be a pupil before you become a teacher learn from the cadres at the lower levels before you issue orders.
Mao Zedong
Image
. . . dogma is less useful than cow dung. One can make whatever one likes out of it, even revisionism. . . .
Mao Zedong
Image
Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.
Mao Zedong
Image
Communists should set an example in study at all times they should be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.
Mao Zedong
Image
The attitude of Communists towards any person who has made mistakes in his work should be one of persuasion in order to help him change and start afresh and not one of exclusion, unless he is incorrigible.
Mao Zedong
Image
When we look at thing, we must examine its essence and treat its appearance merely as an usher at the threshold, we must, once we cross the threshold, grasp the essence of the thing.
Mao Zedong
Image
What is basic guerilla strategy? Guerilla strategy must be based primarily on alertness, mobility, and attack. It must be adjusted to the enemy situation, the terrain, the existing lines of communication, the relative strengths, the weather, and the situation of the people.
Mao Zedong
Image
Take the ideas of the masses (scattered and unsystematic ideas) and concentrate them (through study turn them into concentrated and systematic ideas), then go to the masses and propagate and explain these ideas until the masses embrace them as their own

Man must conquer nature.
Mao Zedong

There is a serious tendency toward capitalism among the well-to-do peasants.
Mao Zedong
Image
Don't wait untill problems pile up and cause a lot of trouble before trying to solve them. Leaders must march ahead the movement, not lag behind it.
Mao Zedong
Image
When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.

Napoleon was the best method. Dissolved all representative institutions and it decided who should rule the state with him.
