291. Before this dialog of the deaf and before so much display of ill will we had no alternative but to resort to arms, endorsing a truth already taught by Chairman Mao Tsetung, namely, that victory comes out of the barrel of a gun. 292. Yet, it is not exactly in terms of victories, bitter ones, indeed, that the problem should be stated but in terms of justice and of the democratic majority. The armed struggle, inevitable as the history of liberation teaches us, is a last resort. 293. In the short run, violence does not serve the interests involved, and in the long run the minority regimes are doomed unequivocally because they will have lost everything and will have been swept aside by violence in their turn. 294. There is no doubt also that the majority of tomorrow will stand to benefit to the maximum from the infra-structure that is available to it.
