Word of the day
insurrection: an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government or ruler and take control of the country, usually by violence

Quote of the day
“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.”
― Mao Tse-tung
