A true revolution, as the word implies, can be likened to a wheel, specifically a wheel that never stops turning. Ideally, a revolution is endless. If the aim is to create a better world for humanity, then change must be continuous, for no plan for a perfect world exists. What can exist is the desire of humanity to continue to strive towards the perfection of our world and of society, in the light of the knowledge that there will be no ultimate victory. Revolution is not a state but a process. If you can date the end of any revolution then, while change may have occurred, it was not a revolution in the true sense of the word. All revolutions that do, historically, have a beginning and an end, may indeed have been a time of social upheaval but they were not revolutions, and all that they accomplished was the replacement of one type of status quo with another.
