Revolutions sometimes consist of independence movements ([[American Revolution]]), and at other times civil wars ([[Russian Revolution]]). [[Karl Marx]], the father of modern [[communism]], believed that revolutions were inevitable and that the underclass would revolt against the ruling class. Marx's ideas never came to fruition however due to the collapse of [[communism]] and a general rise in living conditions throughout the democratic world.
