What is revolution?

What is revolution? ... In these days returns with the mind of the French Revolution, which is celebrated on July 14, day of the storming of the Bastille. But the French Revolution is not only the Bastille, Robespierre and the guillotine. What happened in France in 1789 was a new way of thinking about social life, politics, the role of individuals within that. Perhaps the French Revolution was the one that most influenced the next two centuries and was the mother of the other revolutions that took place in the world. But what is revolution? Personally I think the revolution is a social process that needs then force each person to evolve and explode. On the other hand seems indissoluble that every revolution needs its symbols and its leaders to identify with. But a revolution is not born overnight, is the result of years of ideas, of twenty that changes, thoughts and events, but most people. The Russian Revolution erupted in 1917, but if they are already seeing the first skirmishes in 1905. There are revolutions long and short, some involving a group of people, a nation, a continent, an entire social model. What we can say with certainty is that the revolution is synonymous with change. Today, many things change very quickly, but that will not lead away from the previous situation, change the facade, but it does not change the substance. The revolution is a change of substance, not the facade, the revolution left its mark, the revolution sometimes hurts, upsets and destroys and renews.
40 years ago, in 1968, the Cultural Revolution that devastated half the world was not just the beatings, some benches outside the windows and concerts .. it was a new way of wanting to face life, politics, beliefs and social relations in a society that was evolving and building a model of the previous war. That '68 is a process started from far away and exploded them at that time and in those places because he was only there and then that could burst, not before and not after.
For 40 years now is not about revolution, in the romantic sense of the term, but even the technical aspect and concrete can be said to have witnessed another kind of revolutionary movement (if not one of Bil Gates with the creation of the PC).
But I think there is something in the air, the commodification of man, his work and his knowledge is now at an advanced stage el'insofferenza grows, perhaps a fruit still immature, but that we or future generations have to be ready to seize, because revolutions are like exams ... never end.
