Uprising directly in central cities sounds like a shortcut, but usually spells disaster

In 1920s, Chairman Mao summarized "Russian could succeed in cities because they had a lot of Proletariat. We could not do that because our Proletariat class is very small and weak in cities. Majority of population are peasants, it's impossible to be successful without their support".
