Also, Mao never said that armed struggle should only be initiated if the prospect of quick victory exists. He always said the Red Army is small and must gradually grow from weak to strong, and moreover that the final victory depends on many other national and international factors, factors which can prolong or shorten the course of the war. However, this must not be seen as a straight-line advance. It appears that today the PW is facing a difficult offensive by the enemy, and it should not be ruled out that the counter-restoration this time will be more complex. In similar situations the revolutionary forces, basing themselves on a correct appraisal of the situation and objective possibilities, and through perseverance, can overcome the odds and advance and even reap unexpected fruit.
War is full of uncertainties, but surrendering is hopeless.
No other social activity of human beings is as full of uncertainties as war. This does not mean that we should not have strategy and tactics. Maintaining or preserving is a very dynamic process. It is not passive at all, on the contrary, in order to maintain the war, the schemes of the enemy must be defeated, the core of the gains must be consolidated, and the grounds must be laid for future leaps.
