1.Justice 2.Liberty 3.Equality

My top choice is Justice. I think Justice is more important because everybody deserves the same rights but if you break one of them and do something really bad you should be punished. And without justice nobody would care about liberty and equality everybody would just try and stay alive.

==In China, Mao played a very influential role, as he had caused this major change, eliminating the four olds, and creating new ways for china, including the adding of rights for women. He had a specialized force called the Red Guard to speak the goods about communism.==

==Mao impacted china alot because he tryed to erase information in china and wanted to start the chinese revolution.As soon as that started food production fell and managers of communal farms had to start lieing about having food when they didn't. Mao would abuse or kill his opponants to show them there following his rules or he would do those things. And eventully in 1976 the chinese revolution started to fade away cause Mao died.==

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.

The meaning of this quote is to show that revolution has to do with violence.

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

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// **

==According to these quotes, it seems as if Mao's perception of revolution involves guaranteed, violence. Without violence, there will be no success in a revolution is what he is saying. He is also saying that a war is led to as the most intense effect of a conflict, and identifies what he sees as ways that a war comes about most often, which is inequality found in many different spaces.==
