Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.

...this protracted war will pass through three stages. The first stage covers the period of the enemy's strategic offensive and our strategic defensive. The second stage will be the period of the enemy's strategic consolidation and our preparation for the counter-offensive. The third stage will be the period of our strategic counter-offensive and the enemy's strategic retreat.

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.

Yes, politics IS war without bloodshed; and war is an extension of those politics.

Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one; it is man and not materials that counts.

War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
