We have confirmed something we only knew in theory, namely that revolution, in which uncontrolled and uncontrollable forces operate imperiously, is blind and destructive, grandiose and cruel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every revolution seems impossible at the beginning, and after it happens, it was inevitable.
Revolution is as unpredictable as an earthquake and as beautiful as spring. Its coming is always a surprise, but its nature should not be.
Every revolution has its counterrevolution - that is a sign the revolution is for real.
Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.
Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children.
We believe the currently one cannot speak of a revolutionary situation, just as there is no concrete possibilities of an immediate and comprehensive assumption of power by the people.
There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
A revolution is interesting insofar as it avoids like the plague the plague it promised to heal.
The crises of our time, it becomes increasingly clear, are the necessary impetus for the revolution now under way. And once we understand nature's transformative powers, we see that it is our powerful ally, not a force to feared our subdued.
Revolutions are something you see only in retrospect.
