In Anarchist parlance, "social revolution" is a bottom-up, as opposed to vanguard-led or political, revolution aiming to reorganize all of society. In the words of Peter Kropotkin , "social revolution means the reorganization of the industrial, economic life of the country and consequently also of the entire structure of society." In the Trotskyist movement, the term "social revolution" refers to an upheaval in which existing property relations are smashed. The American Civil War , as a result of which Slavery was abolished, is often cited as an example of a social revolution. Social revolutions are contrasted with purely Political Revolution s in which the government is replaced, or the form of government altered, but in which property relations are predominantly left intact. More generally, the term "social revolution" made be used to refer to a massive change in some element of society, for instance the American Civil Rights Movement . It's often a Euphemism for a raft of enforced social changes often including Land Reform , Forced Relocation , forced Reeducation , and often violent Class Struggle . SEE ALSO |
