Antagonistic contradiction ( Chinese language: 矛盾; pinyin: máo dùn) is the impossibility of compromise between different social classes. The term is most often applied in Marxist theory, which holds that differences between the two primary classes, the working class/ proletariat and the bourgeoisie are so great that there is no way to bring about a reconciliation of their views. Because the groups involved have diametrically opposed concerns, their objectives are so dissimilar and contradictory that no mutually acceptable resolution can be found. Nonantagonistic contradictions may be resolved through mere debate, but antagonistic contradictions can only be resolved through struggle. ...more on Wikipedia about "Antagonistic contradiction"

Naxalite or Naxalism is an informal name given to revolutionary communist groups that were born out of the Sino-Soviet split in the Indian communist movement. The term comes from the Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal, where a leftist section of CPI(M) led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal led a militant peasant uprising in 1967, trying to develop a "revolutionary opposition" in order to establish "revolutionary rule" in India. Mazumdar greatly admired Mao Zedong of China and advocated that Indian peasants and lower classes must follow in his footsteps and overthrow the government and upper classes whom he held responsible for their plight. In 1967 'Naxalites' organized the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries (AICCCR), and broke away from CPI(M). Uprisings were organized in several parts of the country. In 1969 AICCCR gave birth to Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). After the internal revolt led by Satyanarayan Singh in 1971 and the death of Mazumdar in 1972, the movement was fragmented into many competing factions. ...more on Wikipedia about "Naxalite"

People's war (also called protracted people's war) is a military-political strategy invented by Mao Zedong. The basic concept behind People's War is to maintain the support of the population and draw the enemy deep into the interior where the population will bleed them dry through a mix of ' Mobile Warfare' and Guerrilla warfare. The term is used by Maoists for their strategy of long-term armed revolutionary struggle. It is even still claimed to be important in modern Chinese strategic thought within the People's Liberation Army, though with the 1980s shift to " Socialism with Chinese characteristics," some people doubt the Chinese government's continued commitment to the strategy. ...more on Wikipedia about "People's war" Don't hesitate to contact stuff on http://www.shortopedia.com Maoism
