Mao Zedong

The Long March is the first of its kind in the annals of history, that it is a manifesto, a propaganda force, a seeding-machine. Has history ever witnessed a long march such as ours? For twelve months we were under daily reconnaissance and bombing from the skies by scores of planes, while on land we were encircled and pursued, obstructed and intercepted by a huge force of several hundred thousand men, and we encountered untold difficulties and dangers on the way; yet by using our two legs we swept across a distance of more than twenty thousand li through the length and breadth of eleven provinces. Let us ask, has history ever known a long march to equal ours? No, never. The Long March is a manifesto. It has proclaimed to the world that the Red Army is an army of heroes, while the imperialists and their running dogs, Chiang Kai-shek and his like, are impotent. It has proclaimed their utter failure to encircle, pursue, obstruct and intercept us. The Long March is also a propaganda force. It has announced to some 200 million people in eleven provinces that the road of the Red Army is their only road to liberation.

Chaing Kai Chek seemed to have the Red Army on the run with far more guns, planes & men. However while Chaing thought he was chasing the Communists, the Red Army traveled through 11 major Chinese provinces, helping the peasants to harvest their crops, build their homes, care for their sick & get indoctrinated in Communist political philosophy. In comparison, the Chaing forces abused the peasants, corruptly stole from them & brought no improvement in their living standard, sense of hope or fairness. Massive retreat became massive victory as so much of China had a Chance to compare the communists with the Kuomintang & unfortunately chose communism as Chaing and the Kuomingtang was such a poor example of capitalism-corrupt, ineffectual and heartless. At the same time, Mao and the other communist leaders were brilliant in their use of the retreating army to improve the lot of the peasants and left their biggest supporters as they were driven to the next province and repeated the process.

My view is that you show Messi one side or the other, and if he goes past you, he goes past you. But if he slips it through your legs, then you have to obstruct him and take the foul. Just don't ever let yourself be nutmegged.

Rupert Murdoch

I did not come all this way not to interfere
