Quote #5 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and Western Society
“Many of the classical revolutions in modern history -- the French Revolution of 1789, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and, more recently, the revolution in Iran in the late 1970s -- grew out of a relatively spontaneous eruption of popular discontent. Only after the initial stage of popular uprising did a revolutionary organization begin to manipulate these conditions to promote a final and total overthrow of existing authority.”
