ABSTRACT

Revolution is widely used term in the political vocabulary and perhaps even more in political rhetoric, quite apart from its frequent literary use as in technological revolution, or its historical use, as in the agricultural revolution or the industrial revolution. There is a particular rhetorical use of the term revolution that is revolution as a necessary myth in the political culture or history of a society. A more recent observer, Jaroslav Krej, basically agrees, arguing that a revolution must bring about changes in the ideology, the political regime, and the socio-economic structure of society. Krej, in his examination of six revolutions ranging from the Czech Hussite Revolution to the Chinese Communist Revolution has drawn up an elaborate morphology of revolution, from its very beginning to it ultimate conclusion. In the earlier writing's Marx and Engels argued that revolution is the inevitable consequence of the conflict between different modes of production and the classes produced by them.
