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// **


 * Forming or starting a revolution is something that isn't easily done/ considered a kind/peaceful act. It is usually someone taking control of one another in a violent way. **

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

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">__**According to the quotes above how might Mao Zedong define revolution**__? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mao Zedong defines revolution as a violent movement to overthrow the person in power and change the "place" to your likings, you must be able to notice how people choose to violence over everything to resolve problems.

A violent force of overtaking, there is always bloodshed involved, has to be supported by the masses, political change and you need a strong army " Revolution is through the barrel of a gun"

__**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do you agree with quotes of Mao? Why or why not? (use specific evidence from the quotes) **__

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I agree yet I disagree with certain quotes, like the quote that basically says power is associated with Violence is true, this is how america is in such how power with Nuclear Warheads and other places but saying a revolution is only violent, I do not agree it can also be peaceful with negotiations if they notice a large sum of the population isn't happy with what is happening.

Most revolutions are violent you just have to agree with that,.
