    If there isn’t an urban proletariat, and you don’t have support of the peasant class, then what are you even doing playing at a “revolution”? It’s unserious adventurism that gets people killed with no hope of victory.

      I don’t think there is anything ‘unserious’ about an armed conflict with a state, and I don’t think you can be serious about portraying it that way - its a flippant thing to say.

      Again, I don’t think its true that they didn’t have support from the peasants. Certainly that’s been claimed by the anti-communists, but they always say that about their enemies.

      I don’t think conflicts occur on somebody’s whims, there is always a reason. A long (and ongoing) conflict of this kind could not have occured without there being a good reason for it, and also a possibility of victory.
