"Masses" means all of the people of a city or country.
Mao Tse Tung was a communist in China. He was saying that revolutions against imperialism and feudalism that oppress the people happen and can only happen if all the people of a country revolt against them violently under the guidance of the communist party.
In the end, the communists themselves became oppressors that none could overthrow.

I think it has to do with communism and the idea that a revolution (a major change in government) is something that the common ppl/working class come together in unity and work towards a common goal. I wish Americans would start a PEACEFUL revolution and get these weirdos out of our government. All we do is whine about how much GW sucks and all the others, but we do NOTHING!!!

It's a war of the common people. It will only be successful with the support of the common people. Think about who Mao was and what he stood for. Communism and socialist revolution. Power to the people.

well a revolution normally involves a large group of people (lets say a country). That large group of people are the only things you have in comparison to a weapon.
as for "... revolution is the proper occupation of the masses" im clueless.

Put the burden on the backs of the masses. Get them to do the dirty work, and make them think they're do it for the betterment of society. Ha! The masses: The suckers. Have been throughout history, and always will be.

He was pushing revolution, pure and simple. Mao wrote his famous "Little Red Book" as a Chinese "Communist Manifesto". So they traded feudal slavery for commie slavery.

It's a bunch of crap to motivate sheep and make them feel as if they are in control, when they really are not.
