For me, 'revolution' simply means radical change.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Revolution is something that actually starts in individual hearts.
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
Revolution, n. In politics, an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.
Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.
Revolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass.
Revolution as an ideal concept always preserves the essential content of the original thought: sudden and lasting betterment.
And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority.
A revolution is an act of violence whereby one class shatters the authority of another.
We must make it clear that revolution does not merely mean an upheaval or a sanguinary strife. Revolution necessarily implies the programme of systematic reconstruction of society on new and better adapted basis after complete destruction of the existing state of affairs (i.e., regime).
A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
