Where will China get the weapons and ammunition to wage a war of liberation?

We will get them from you!

Individuals who belong to the masses seem to be powerless against the powerful ruling body that some call the state, others the establishment, while I prefer to use the word elite. Many activists do not realise that they are like fleas, minute entities that are only a nuisance. But thousands of fleabites are worse then one bite from a tiger. A myriad of individual intrusions in the private living sphere of leaders makes more impression than many thousands of people who once demonstrate in front of the office of leaders. To bite another flea is of course a waste of time.

Someone should tell the Onservatives about that last one.

More Robert Taber inspired thinking to follow, especially if things go badly on the 4th. I guarantee you the PUMAs are already thinking along these lines; you cannot steal an election in the United States - really steal, not selected/elected "steal" - without a revolutionary impulse rising in the hearts of patriots.

Important note: I am interested in means rather than ends with these links. I am four-square in favour of nuclear power and suspect I would disagree most policy issues with the author of these letters. Even so, he has interesting things to day about taking on tyrannical elites. There is the faith of our fathers. Then there is the practice of our fathers. Time to review the Federalist Papers too...

FYI: The tag line and question are quotes from Chairman Mao, a man who knew a thing or two about fighting and winning when out gunned. Again, ends vs means.
