"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."

"Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan" (March 1927), Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 28.

That says it pretty well...

It is something a lot of folks don't like thinking about, but history could not be clearer.

If only they would just go away, but they will not, so the onus is on them.

Isn't that what they say? And it is true...


Edit to add: Do you think that the Liberal/Progressive Elites realize that they are "old hat"? Somehow, I don't think so. It makes me smile...
