"Wherever there is struggle, there is sacrifice, and death is a common occurrence. But we have the interests of the people and the sufferings of the great majority at heart, and when we die for the people it is a worthy death. Nevertheless, we should do our best to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

In this specific text, the nations sacrifices their people to win a war. However, it is not recomended to go through unnecessary war and sacrifices. To be broader, there is nothing that can be done without sacrifices. For example, if you are taking an exam in few weeks, it is going to take time and sweat. In this senario, the sacrifice would be time and hard working. This quote states that if you want something done you should take sacrifices; sacrifices that would be worthy not unnecessary.

"Protect the interests of the youth, women, and children--provide assistance to young students who cannot afford to continue their studies, help the young students who cannot afford to continue their studies, help the youth and women to organize in order to participate on an equal footing in all work useful to the war effort and to social progress, ensure freedom of marriage and equality as between men and women, and give young people and children a useful education..."

Mao Zedong believes that West imperialism is the reason for the farmers being oppressed at home. To fix the problem, Mao recommends to get rid of West imperialism system. Most of the West countries are democratic. Since China is one of Communist country, Mao is trying to get the Chinese citizen to have negative feelings about Western culture and that they should follow him for ther greater and stronger country.

"In any society, in which classes exist, class struggle will never end. In classless society, the struggle between the new and the old and between truth and falsehood will never end. In the fields of the struggle for production and scientific experiment, mankind makes constant progress and nature undergoes constant change; they never remain at the same level. Therefore man has constantly to sum up experience and go on discovering, inventing, creating, and advancing."

The quote explains that death is a common thing in a war. But if people fight for the people of their country it is worth to die in a war. Even though death is a common thing, from the first quotation, we can see that unnecessary sacrifices are tried to be avoided.

"Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle, and scientific experiment."

Social classes are not existent in the society that Marxism describes. Mao Zedong too, does not believe that a Communist nation should have class system. Without class structures and system, there will not be a lot of societal struggles and people will be equally happy with what they have.

"The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vigor, and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you."

This quote was probably said to the younger generation of China. He tried to manuplate them by making them feel responsible for China's future. Mao wanted the young and strong people to learn and work hard so that is the future China would grow to be a stronger country.
