Each commune had 30,000 workers that worked day and night to produce as much as they could. The communes competed against each other and often lied to the government about how much they were producing. Peasants melted down any metal they owned to make tools for farming. These tools were of poor quality and broke very easily. The Great Leap Forward was a disaster. The communes were unable to produce enough food for themselves and those in the cities. Over 15 million peasants died of starvation. Mao wanted to change the Culture of China. Red Guard, the liberation Army.

<span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.


 * <span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">— From //Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan// **

<span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">A revolution is a serious strong occurrence that has many parts to it. It is a drastic change where alot of severe actions are taken. These actions are never easy, normal and sometimes not even safe which is why the term revolution cannot be defined so gently.

<span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.


 * <span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">— From //Be Concerned with the Well-Being of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Work// **

<span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes.


 * <span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">— From //Problems of Strategy in China's Revolutionary War// **

War was not a way to solve the issues of the revolution,.

<span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."


 * <span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">— From //Problems of War and Strategy// **


 * <span style="background-color: #cde5d5; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">//you need truth and a political change a strong army to control it.// **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">violent, brutal, this must be supported by the masses. A political change, and a strong army to have a revolution.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">__**According to the quotes above how might Mao Zedong define revolution**__?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">I agree because you need something powerful if you want to change something. For this to be successful attention is necessary and violence brings that. Most revolutions are violent.
 * __**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Do you agree with quotes of Mao? Why or why not? (use specific evidence from the quotes) **__
