There is no such thing as abstract Marxism, only concrete Marxism... The Sinofication of Marxism - that is, making certain that its manifestation is imbued with Chinese peculiarities - is a problem that must be understood and solved by the party without delay.
Mao Zedong
Image
The world is progressing, the future is bright and no one can change this general trend of history. We should carry on constant propaganda among the people on the facts of world progress and the bright future ahead so that they will build their confidence in victory.
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
All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.
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
Image
Three Songs 1 Mountain. I whip my quick horse and don't dismount and look back in wonder. The sky is three feet away. 2 Mountain. The sea collapses and the river boils. Innumerable horses race insanely into the peak of battle. 3 Mountain. Peaks pierce the green sky, unblunted. The sky would fall but for the columns of mountains.
Mao Zedong
Image
We must have faith, first, that the peasant masses are ready to advance step by step along the road of socialism under the leadership of the Party, and second, that the Party is capable of leading the peasants along this road. These two points are the essence of the matter, the main current.
Mao Zedong

Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
Mao Zedong
Image
Imperialism is a paper tiger.
Mao Zedong
Image
The government burns down whole cities while the people are forbidden to light lamps.
Mao Zedong
Image
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
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.
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
Today the whole world depends on communism for its salvation, and China is no exception.
Mao Zedong
Image
It is up to us to organize the people. As for the reactionaries in China, it is up to us to organize the people to overthrow them. Everything reactionary is the same if you do not hit it, it will not fall. This is also like sweeping the floor as a rule, where the broom does not reach, the dust will not vanish of itself.
Mao Zedong
Image
Wherever our comrades go they must build good relations with the masses, be concerned for them and help them overcome their difficulties. We must unite with the masses, the more of the masses we unite with, the better

If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution.
Mao Zedong
Image
As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war.
Mao Zedong
Image
Our country and all the other socialist countries want peace so do the peoples of all the countries of the world. The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.
Mao Zedong
Image
There is a serious tendency towards capitalism among the well-to-do peasants. This tendency will become rampant if we in the slightest way neglect political work among the peasants during the co-operative movement and for a very long period after.
