What Is revolution?
I found this definition on the internet: “a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system”.
Are revolutions good or bad?
Young people very often believe that all revolutions are good and often sacrifice their lives for a transfer of power from one group of people to another.
However, I don’t know any revolution that was good for majority of population of any country. I do know that in many countries revolutions brought mass murders of innocent people.
Below are some quotes about revolution.
********************************************************************************************************
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the ‘freedom of the press’ goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
You cannot make a revolution with silk gloves.
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.
