Resolutionary vs. Revolutionary Thinking
I have decided to tackle the idea of resolutionary thinking as opposed to the idea of the traditional revolution. I know that there are three different groups of revolutionary theorists, and all of them have similar, but different enough theories as to why and how revolutions are carried out. Not that I do not like the idea of chaos, because really I do, I just think that there are more efficient ways of solving problems. Revolution has been the leading factor in political change throughout the course of history. There have been revolutions in every corner of the world, all of which have varying reasons, or logistics behind the political movements. Most profound in the idea of peaceful movement is Mohatma Gandi, and the peaceful movements and marches that he led throughout the mid to late 1800's in India. The whole idea of a revolution is when there is a large group of people who want political change, mostly in leadership, they form a mob, and protest the current leadership or problem. The concept of thinking resolutionarily would be near the same process, but instead of a mob, there would be a special interest group which would protest the problem peacefully, and come up with rational solutions to the problem.
First off, I have no idea what the three groups of revolutionary theorists, theorize about revolutions. I know a few examples of revolutions, but I do not know specific examples that can relate to all three revolutionary theorists theories. I do not know the extent that a group of people has to be pushed before they decide to start a revolution. Also, I do not know if all revolutions even have an exact starting date.
What I want to learn is if resolution in practice has better or more profound results than revolutions. I want to know if revolution has even proved to be as unsuccessful as I predict. I also want to know if there is any way of stopping massive revolutions peacefully before they begin. When did the largest revolution of all time occur, and what sparked it, how many people died, what was the outcome? Are the outcomes of revolutions as successful as they were hoped to be? Do governments succumb to the will of a revolution only to stop it, or do they ever try to actually fulfill the needs/wants of the revolting mob? These are serious political questions that need to be evaluated, and the answers could be direct evidence of how politics should be carried out.
