I am compelled to write on the change of the way revolutions happen to the societies. When it happened in (England,) France, and Russia it happened with widespread violence (I have read of the opinion of some on how it happened almost peacefully - it is far from truth. Civil Wars happened, bringing on the Red Terror.) I have noticed unease about this - how does a society that is founded on such an event exist. How does this event alter and affect the existence of the society and its eventual end.
I think that the seed for its end is in the very nature of lack of humane reason. But at the same time I see that lack of reason is quite unfounded as a claim. I may write on this later in more depth. I intend to write on the nature of the change.
That revolution happens also without violence from those who are pressing for change. As an example I would like to bring the computer and internet revolution that has occurred in the economy. And the second example is the second liberal revolution that liberated people of the former soviet union.
Third is perhaps the economic revolution initiated by the steam engine.
If there are to be more revolutions and I think that the current society does indeed have a pregnancy for it and our capacity to reason our way through it is what determines whether we choose to have the birth without pain or with suffering.
Revolutions have always happened amidst and tailing the technological breakthroughs in communication and transportation.
