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.
 * — From //Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan// **


 * Revolution is a brutal and it can't be good at all.

The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.


 * — From //Be Concerned with the Well-Being of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Work// **


 * revolutionary can only be carried on if we control the situation.

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.


 * — From //Problems of Strategy in China's Revolutionary War// **


 * If there is statement or idea between classes, nations, states, or political groups that are opposed between two, it would be so hard to resolve it and that leads to war.

Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
 * — From //Problems of War and Strategy// **


 * for the communist party one must have a gun to control the people so to grow their power.

__**According to the quotes above how might Mao Zedong define revolution**__?
 * Mao Zedong might define revolution as a brutal which can only be carried on by controlling the situation.
 * it's violence, bloody
 * political change
 * supported by masses
 * in order to function need to know how to control

Do __**you agree with quotes of Mao? Why or why not? (use specific evidence from the quotes)**__
 * As for the last quotes I don't agree that communist need to kill people in sense of growing the political power. If people were died then what's the job of government, they were there to protect people not struggle them.
 * can't agree that revolution has to totally be bloody, limit the violence
 * revolution has to be active violence
 * revolution has to use force in order to carried on.
