Revolutionary History

Revolutions are often presented as something that happened in the remote past, or as mythical events totally disconnected from the "practical" questions of today's world. But the real history of revolutions has nothing in common with the dull history we were force-fed in school. Once we delve into the real history, we find inspiring real struggles fought by generations of men and women who lifted themselves from the toil and drudgery of everyday life to fight for a better world. While the specifics of each event differ, they share common patterns and dynamics that allow us to study them scientifically, drawing out the generalized lessons. As it turns out, it is not revolutions that are rare, but victories.
