I believe Mao said political power FLOWS THROUGH the barrel of a gun.
There is a difference, and if I remember Mao at all correctly, he never
forgot that in any of his writings.

And (without checking on the exact wording) Marx said that the arm of
criticism must be *completed*, not *replaced* by the criticism of arms.
