What's your favorite (most important) revolution?

[Swiffness!]

Most important is American since it brought modern democracy to the world.

But favorite? Haiti. The Haitian Revolution was the largest and most successful slave rebellion....in the Western Hemisphere? Naw nigga, try EVER. Every other slave rebellion in history, from Spartacus to Ali bin Muhammad to Ivan Bolotnikov to Nat Turner ended with the rebellion CRUSHED and the rebel leaders DEAD.

I like a London revolution.A London is a big city.Now Revolution dynamic virtual tours allow you to do so without risk of rain. London used to be regarded as something of a gastronomic desert.

Plato wrote about democracy 2000 years before Thomas Jefferson was born, Greece, Sumer, Rome, Ukraine, Iroquois nation among others predate American democracy. America history textbooks strike again.

For me it has to be without a shadow of a doubt the spanish revolution arranged by the cnt-fai syndicate. one of the most influential moments and one of the main reasons of why im a libertarian socialist today. the tale of 10 million+ people co-existing in an anarchist society free of coercion and hierarchy is nothing short of inspirtational

"The Spanish Revolution was a workers' social revolution that began during the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and resulted in the widespread implementation of anarchist and more broadly socialist organizational principles throughout various portions of the country for two to three years, primarily Catalonia, Aragon, Andalusia, and parts of the Levante. Much of Spain's economy was put under worker control; in anarchist strongholds like Catalonia, the figure was as high as 75%, but lower in areas with heavy Communist Party influence, as the Soviet-allied party actively resisted attempts at collectivization enactment. Factories were run through worker committees, agrarian areas became collectivised and run as libertarian communes. Even places like hotels, barber shops, and restaurants were collectivized and managed by their workers. Sam Dolgoff estimated that over 10 million people participated directly or at least indirectly in the Spanish Revolution[1], which he claimed "came closer to realizing the ideal of the free stateless society on a vast scale than any other revolution in history

The collectivization effort was primarily orchestrated by the rank-and-file members of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT; English: National Confederation of Labor) and the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI; English: Iberian Anarchist Federation), with the two often abbreviated as CNT-FAI due to the affinity between the two organizations and the major role of the latter within the former in maintaining anarchist "purity." The non-anarchist socialist Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT; English: General Union of Workers) also participated in the implementation of collectivization, albeit to a far lesser degree."

Still frightened by KTULU's iron fist rulings on TISH, I timidly vote Russian.

Good stuff ounce that is probably the most interesting revolution that and Haiti but I think the most important is the Russian revolution. Without it there would be no soviet union and no cold war no cia no vietnam or Korean wars no cuban revolution, no space race no arms race. The idea of communism had been around prior to the revolution but Russia was the first place that it was actually put into practice which influenced China, Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Cuba among others. The world as we know it was on the verge of total destruction for 30+ years not even over-exaggerating any day shit could've popped off and if I'm not mistaken things almost did pop off on a few seperate occassions between us and the Soviets.
