  People's war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
People's war strategically avoids decisive battles, since a tiny force of a few dozen soldiers would easily be routed in an all-out confrontation with the state.
The concept of people's war became less important with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the increasing possibility of conflict with the United States over Taiwan.

Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches.
The war came shortly after the opening of the twentieth century, in the midst of exultation (perhaps only among the elite in the Western world) about progress and modernization.
The people of France and Britain were not told the extent of the casualties.

 New York Press - MICHAEL MANVILLE -
But people’s war, although often militarily effective, is hobbled by its own internal contradictions.
People’s war, meanwhile, cannot deliver the one thing most people want and need, which is liberal democracy.
And because war is defined by its ability to achieve political goals—as Clausewitz noted, war for its own sake is less policy than insanity—its stasis is making it an anachronism.

 The Peoples’ War Group and Its Criticism by the ‘Concerned Citizens’
More and more people see through their own eyes that they are living under a barbaric regime which has no concern for human values and life, people themselves come to realize that they cannot find respite except by getting rid of reactionary rule, except by overturning them.
Interestingly, these people who are now taking this ultra-right position, glorifying the elections as a positive opportunity for the people, are those who one way or the other have been closely associated with the ultra-left, nihilist politics of Peoples’ War for decades.
Even, the insufficient participation of people in the elections is due to ignorance of politics by the masses in general and not due to the conscious negation of representative institutions or the election process by the masses.

 John M. Gates, Ch. 8, People's War in Vietnam - Title
To understand people's war, however, one must view the phenomenon through the eyes of its practitioners, and the writings of well known Vietnamese revolutionaries indicate clearly that the use of guerrillas was never the principal feature of the communist approach.
That interpretation of the war, carrying with it the implication that the United States might have won in Vietnam had it recognized at the onset that the conflict would be a conventional one, explains the American failure in a way that does not mandate significant change in the future.
To understand the war, one must first abandon the view that the conflict was a war of aggression, North against South, and recognize that the communist triumph was the result of the successful implementation of a strategy of people's war.

 On the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the People's War in Nepal
The People's War in Nepal is taking place in an intensifying world situation where the aims and ambitions of the U.S. crusade to attain unrivaled world hegemony have been setting the terms for much of international relations, including how the U.S. (and other powers) look at their necessity and freedom to intervene in Nepal.
The U.S. government and mainstream media lie about the People's War in Nepal--distorting and slandering the aims and goals of the revolution, in order to justify their backing of a brutal regime that is carrying out horrible crimes against the people.
When the Peoples War was launched in 1996, it defied all odds and bravely set out on the path of the Maoist New Democratic Revolution--a path that remains relevant for oppressed countries throughout the world.

 The “War against Terror” is a War against the People [Voltaire]
But by itself the phenomenon of war, both as policy and as act of aggression and violence, does not suffice to explain the distinctive features of the war that Israel is waging and is seeking to propagate, indeed to spread worldwide.
The war waged by Israel against Lebanon showed this well, but the agony of the Palestinian people remains the clearest example of this policy of constant and methodical ethnic cleansing which Israel is carrying out against peoples.
The war currently being waged in Iraq by the United States is unfolding according to this same doctrine of the destruction of peoples long advocated by Israel.

 English Speaking Peoples ON WAR CRIMES - The Churchill Centre
In the case of the Great War, however, vast debates among historians continue to provide some support for the conclusion that Germany’s ambition to build an empire comparable to Britain’s, combined with the Kaiser’s impulsiveness and arrogance, were decisive factors in bringing this terrible war on the countries involved.
It could have been argued, for example, that the balance of power before the war had not only favoured Britain, but had kept the peace; that any country which threatened the balance was an aggressor, responsible for the harm that ensued; that the British were right to oppose any threat to that balance.
Partly, no doubt, because of his experiences after the First War, Churchill was concerned that the public in Allied countries would demand large-scale punishment of the German people as a whole, which would in the end prove counter-productive.
