Social revolution
In libertarian socialist and anarchist parlance, a social revolution is a bottom-up, as opposed to a vanguard party-led or purely political, revolution aiming to reorganize all of society (see Spanish Revolution). In the words of Alexander Berkman, "social revolution means the reorganization of the industrial, economic life of the country and consequently also of the entire structure of society." More generally, the term "social revolution" may be used to refer to a massive change in society, for instance the French Revolution, the American Civil Rights Movement and the 1960 hippie or counterculture reformation on religious beliefpersonal identityfreedom of speech, music and artsfashionalternative technology or environmentalism and decentralised media.
