“We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.”

Mao Tse-Tung

Revolution is understood by Maoists today as people’s war. People’s war is the masses’ own war and is led by the communist party, which is the proletariat’s only party. The people’s war must initially destroy the enemy’s power with violence and create a vacuum of power in some areas, and eventually in more and more areas. In this vacuum of power, the proletariat must construct its own power in the form of peoples’ committees, which in the start must be clandestine (secret) and must exercise the proletariat’s state power under development. The new power resolves the problem of the masses by mobilizing the masses themselves and by basing itself on mass organizations that organize the masses, as well as on the armed power of the people’s army that is led directly by the communist party.

That revolution is inevitable is shown by all of history. No classes have voluntarily given up their power. The bourgeoisie in particular has shown that they are willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto their power. They wage wars of extermination, carry out genocides, torture people, persecute and murder, all to protect their power and their profits. This is no different in the imperialist countries, and rather the contrary. Those who wish to see examples of the brutality that the imperialists are willing to unleash on the masses can look at the US and how the Yankee state liquidated Black leaders in the 1960s and 70s. The Norwegian bourgeoisie dropped hundreds of bombs on Libya in 2011—they are willing to take things much further to hold onto their power.

Revolution, i.e. people’s war, is necessary on one side to destroy the enemy’s forces, and on the other side to build up the proletariat’s own power, to seize and defend the political power for the proletariat, and primarily the latter side. This is a universal law that applies for all countries in the world without exception.

Since I'm getting alot of replies, comments & questions in my inbox stating that "Israel has to bomb them as self defense" or "Israel bombs the hospitals & schools to get to Hamas" or the funniest one yet "they're war casualties".

I'd like to present to you an Israeli old war crime that doesn't have to do with Palestine, the "Bahr El-Baqar primary school bombing"

Where did that happen?

Egypt.

When did that happen?

8th of April 1970.

Who caused the death of 30 children & injured 50 including teachers?

Israel.

So of course you're asking why did Israel say they bombed a children's primary school?

Does it remind you of something?

Also remember how the US helps Israel with ammunition, money and more?

Guess the type of warplanes Israel used to bomb the school in 1970, yes you're right they were American.

"With American Phantom warplanes, the enemy hit an Egyptian children's school"

Also here's a link about the US-Israeli alliance regarding the warplanes:

In conclusion, don't be surprised by what's happening in Palestine & Gaza, it's not the first time Israel attacks civilians for no reason then come out with the "they have a military base/Hamas underground", also don't be surprised by the US backing them up, it's not the first time & it won't be the last so let me remind you:

This is where the American taxes go.

Marx indicated that the oppression of women in a society was the measure of its general oppression. One can add, the strength of women’s involvement in a movement dedicated to opposing a social order is a measure of the movement’s strength—or weakness.

Art of war 101: Never explain, never complain

Aahh, heres the World War 2 junkie in me again. Contrary to the popular belief, I've been obsessed with WW2 not because of the military action and all that disasters it caused. WW2 movies are always usually about the life of soldiers or some other drama for the ordinary people.. But honestly for me, WW2 history is mainly interesting because of the IRL Strategy gaming of the world leaders. Whats behind a powerful action is a brilliant mind. Its like a 4D chess strategy, or some string theory shit.

Ive been always a fan of the communist leaders, which is kind of lulzy to discuss with the average people who knows a thing about history. People are always like, "dont u eVen kn0w whAt hApnD iN the h0locAUst/guLag", "dont you know that mao zedong is responsible for the death of 45Million people" uhm yes i know he outdid Stalin and Hitler combined which is why hes easily such a succesful IRL übermensch. However, what im going to talk about has got nothing to do with Marxism, but more about a a wisdom learned from Winston Churchill, one of the prominent leaders during WW2, the one who orchestrated alliance with Russia and US that eventually led to Germany and Japan's a very, very Nietzsche tragedy.

I'm not going to quote everything that Churchhill said but he said this, "no matter how good the arguments were, the mere fact of advancing them would be everywhere taken as a sign of weakness.” in this, Churchill is basically saying apologizing and explaining shit is a sign of weakness.

Everyone thinks communication always solve problems but i disagree. Telling someone how they have wronged you is the worst decision you'll ever do in your life. Trust me, the times ive done that i knew the possibility I had to take the L (but even if i had to do that, its not for ethical reasons anyways). To explain your actions of self preservation is to imply it's up for debate. You are simply giving the other party an opportunity to control you. And no, the other person is never going to sympathize with your point of view, they are just thinking they just have to get you monologuing like a cheap movie antagonist so they have time to set the (emotional) trap off on you. Most importantly, people operate on their subjective reality so arguing for the sake of being objective is pointless.

You can't make some one learn ever. If theyre capable to learn, they will learn from your clear disengagement with them. You are under no obligation to manage nor even observe someone else's growth. They have all the recourses for growth without you, just as you have all the resources for growth without them.

Time for Marxism 101! We read a dozen books to nail down the basics of Marxist economics so you don’t have to (unless that’s your idea of a good time). We include our list of sources, and are always reading more and looking for recommendations.

🇵🇸 Children in war zones have played for 75 years under military occupation, yet some argue Israel has the right to defend itself while Palestinians can't even have their own army. Growing up in injustice breeds resistance. IDF's actions amount to genocide—cutting off food, water, and electricity. Those who support this have blood on their hands, like those who supported Germans in the 1930s.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
