Revolutions Are Violent

As a refutation point, an important observation that requires attention is that most of the reasons for today's free society are due to the revolution. The revolution is mainly to end or oppose the authoritarian regime that dominated most societies early in civilization and other eras of the colonial era (such as Vietnam, boxer revolt, or many African countries) It was used for. Usually, it is the only option to fight truly authoritarian regime. Did some of them eventually introduce equal or more oppressive regime? Of course, please look at Iran, or the Soviet Union.

The idea of ​​the Gandhi Peace Revolution is the phenomenon of the 20th century. Of course, even if the revolutionaries themselves are nonviolent, the power structure they threaten is often subject to violent oppression (ex: Khudai Khidmatgar).

Of course, there are some exceptions (like Eastern Europe) as far as "revolution is violent".

This is especially true when the majority of military and police deprived of involvement in violent crackdown have conflicting loyalty between their leadership and empathy with revolutionary discontent and goals. . tie). In this way a revolution that does not bleed (or at least a revolution of very small violence like Egypt)

Of course, power vacuum creates a foothold of violence (this is true regardless of how power vacuum is made) but succeeds if the revolutionary goal is clear, transition from one regime to the next Time and power vacuum) is far less likely than "Red October" event

The original idea of ​​modern democracy (which is not a classical Greek) is a continuous, nonviolent revolution and if you complain about the regime you will put an alternate power in power. Regardless of the elections, the usefulness of the left and right dichotomy between the two, where most institutions remain the same (or changes in continental migration) is controversial.

Whether it is a recent Arab Spring or the French Revolution of 1789, changes in the revolutionary and violent regime have received a great deal of attention in academia. These major political turmoil is seen as a turning point in the economic and political orbit of the affected society. However, it will cause extensive controversy as to whether these river catastrophes will have a long-term impact on the living conditions of the majority of the population, and if so. In this column we will focus on the French Revolution in 1789. Given the relatively abundant archive material and the fact that sufficient time has passed since its inception, investigating these problems in a number of ways to assess the medium- to long-term impact of revolutionary policies Can be an ideal shot.

The revolution between America and France is very different in terms of violence; the French Revolution was known during the latter part of its violence, known as terror rule. But the American revolution is more conservative. Americans are not as aggressive as French to seek violence for the revolution. French and American revolution is caused by similar ideas and goals, but both want a different form of government. Moved by the French "human rights declaration", France believes that the government should actively help that citizen. But under human rights law, Americans are trying to protect citizens from government abuse. Finally, while French desire one chamber legislation, Americans are seeking a decentralized federal government to ensure that they are not too strong through checks and balances.

All three revolution brought major changes to the government and expanded freedom of the vast majority of the population. However, the revolution of America and France in the 18th century was a direct and violent revolution, but the revolution of glory did not occur as intensively as in the 17th century. However, the glorious revolution was not completely violent; Ireland and Scotland fought violently against the new King of the Netherlands. Like the American Revolution, the Glory Revolution involves large-scale intervention by foreign forces. With the glory revolution, the Netherlands quietly invaded the UK, and in the American Revolution, France supported American settlers. On the other hand, the French Revolution was a popular uprising with little external support. Maybe the United States may have helped, but it did not have any meaningful situation.
