 * I think that equality is the most important out of the three. Equality allows everyone to be considered equal and given all of the same rights. These equal rights are what make us all free. I feel that liberty and justice bounce off of equality. With equality, you are able to speak out in liberty. With justice, you are able to be treated equally given the same rights as everyone else does. **

When Mao became emperor in 1911, China changed very drastically. Due to the European interest in China, the country became isolated. Mao was now free to "improve" the country to his liking. Once Mao gained control of the entire country of China in 1949, these changes were made. His goal was to erase social inequality. Mao did this by humiliating and being cruel to previous land and business owners, which often drove them to their death. Since the poor were no longer farming, the food production dropped immensely. Little to no food became available for towns that lived on it, cause 30-45 million Chinese peasant to starve to death. In total, 50-75 million people died during the 33 years that Mao was emperor of China.

===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// **
===I think that this quote was to justify all the cruel ways he treated people. Which I do not believe was right. The wealthy were worked to death. Land/business owners were tormented beyond control. They were driven to death. He made a revolution sound as though violence was the answer all the time, which is not true.=== ===The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them. ===

People will always disagree so therefore the better group of people will win. You have to make people agree with your ways so you have a support system to back you up.
===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. ===

= In the video I saw a lot of tall skyscrapers and buildings, a lot of high technology items. It is missing the everyday living needs of the people and focuses on what looks like workplaces. I didn't see houses or markets. Saw vans that power country, fastest trains, billboards, no ground pollution, no life out of city, only shows modern China. =
