5 What did nationalist leaders hope to achieve? How did they differ in their approach to achieving their goals? Mao Zedong (1927) 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. Mohandas Gandhi (1909) Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering; it is the reverse of resistance by arms. When I refuse to do a thing that is repugnant to my conscience, I use soul-force … If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul- force … Everybody admits that sacrifice of self is infinitely superior to sacrifice of others.
