| | Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A political revolution is the forcible replacement of one set of rulers with another (as happened in France and Russia), while a social revolution is the fundamental change in the social structure of a society, such as the Protestant Reformation or the Renaissance. | | | Social and political revolutions are often "institutionalized" when the ideas, slogans, and personalities of the revolution continue to play a prominent role in a country's political culture, long after the revolution's end. | | | However, blurring the line between these two categories, most political revolutions wish to carry out social revolutions, and they have basic philosophical or social underpinnings which drive them. |

| | Social Justice was also the name of a periodical published by Father Coughlin in the 1930s and early 1940s. | | | Similarly, Social Justice is fundamental to Catholic social teaching, and is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party upheld by the worldwide green parties. | | | Social Justice is a concept that has fascinated philosophers ever since Plato rebuked the young Sophist, Thrasymachus, for asserting that justice was whatever the strongest decided it would be. |

| | In the end Bowen chose not to take this extraordinary action, probably because Social Credit would likely have been re-elected in the ensuing general election. | | | The BC Social Credit Party formed the government for many years in neighbouring British Columbia, although this was effectively a coalition of right wing and centrist forces in the province that had no interest in social credit monetary policies. | | | Social Credit remained in the Legislature as the Official Opposition until the 1982 election, and then nearly disappeared from Alberta politics until the 1993 election. |

| | Social Revolution and the Equal Rights Amendment |
| | While not a new issue, the ERA became newly public at the end of a major period of social reform and at the beginning of the women's movement. | | | To them the ERA symbolized not equal legal rights, but the entire women's liberation movement which, along with the other social movements of the sixties, was, they felt, a severe threat to their basic values and way of life. | | | The Supreme Court reflected this revolution in its series of decisions in the 1970s that took the legal revolution almost as far as the ERA would have done. |

| | liberalism and social justice |
| | Political and social liberalism became associated with the Democrat Party in the post-depression era. | | | A twentieth-century social liberal might hope for both procedural and distributive justice, but he or she probably prefers distributive justice in the outcomes of social processes, even if the procedures are not deemed just; for a social liberal a "good society" involves neither income nor wealth being too unequally distributed. | | | The Labour Party flirted with socialism in the post-war era and thus became the proponent of pragmatic liberalism with respect to the role of government in the economy and society. |

| | Leaving aside the sloppiness around the victory of socialism in one county, Lenin wrests the whole weight of his case against the republican United States of Europe slogan on a rigid conceptual separation of the political and the economic. | | | The Social Democratic Party achieved remarkable electoral successes after Bismarcks anti-socialist laws were lifted. | | | This socialist empire-builder had even before the outbreak of war in August 1914 vigorously promoted the idea of a United States of Western Europe (he excluded Russia), headed, of course, by Germany. |

| | Progressivism |
| | Nearly every social and economic reform of the era was predicated on the progressive recognition that diverse cultural and occupational groups had conflicting interests, and that the responsibility for mitigating and adjusting those differences lay with the whole society, usually the government. | | | Progressivism was inspired by two bodies of belief and knowledge ‑ evangelical Protestantism and the natural and social sciences. | | | Progressivism brought major innovations to almost every facet of public and private life in the United States. |

| | Despite the rapid advance of the workers' militias in Republican Spain, the social revolution which began in July failed to establish the absolute authority of councilist power. | | | While the anarchist union, the CNT, was to organise the working class in preparation for social revolution, the recently4ormed FAI was to constitute a "conscious minority" of anarchist militants. | | | In the subsequent year, the councils established by the working-class were to become a third force fighting against both the fascists and the attempts of the Republican government to re-establish its authority. |

| | The major weapon of syndicalists is the general strike.[12] Anarchism is the doctrine urging the abolition of governmental restraints or of the government itself as the condition for full social and political liberty.[13] In the USNA, anarchism arose from the petty bourgeoisie in its struggle against the robber barons. | | | The content of the revolution is social reconstruction that guarantees the distribution of the necessaries of life. | | | The great social struggles of the 1930s had the objective task of reforming and restructuring the capitalist system to make it compatible with the decline of the family farm, the consolidation and monopolization of giant industry and the growth of industrial cities. |

| | Safe Haven Social Justice |
| | Such "social justice" assigns to government and its agents the ultimate responsibility for the basic well-being of every individual and makes government officials superior judges of individual rights. | | | To them, too, justice is the firm desire to render to everyone that which is his due; but "his due" may be broadened to what "he ought to have" according to a wide range of value judgments; it is the due of "social justice." | | | Social Security and Medicare benefits are extended to the poor and affluent alike, which removes the stigma of transfer, but significantly raises the expense of redistribution and necessitates higher taxes on all. |

| | Europe in Retropsect: The French Revolution - Phases of the Revolution |
| | It must be remembered that the French Revolution was the first major social revolution, of far greater dimensions and of deeper purpose than the American Revolution that had preceded it. | | | As the Revolution became more popular in support, it also became more intolerant; this dual situation occurring in the years 1793 and 1794, when the Jacobin faction, that most closely identified with the people of Paris and with democracy, was supreme. | | | It was the near bankruptcy of the state, largely caused by aid to the American revolutionaries, that served as the immediate provocation for aristocratic opposition in 1787, when an Assembly of Notables (consisting of aristocrats), called by the king and his finance minister, demanded political authority in return for tax reform. |

| | The Social Issue Conservatives Wont Touch - David Oatney |
| | Many social conservatives claim that the state of Louisiana made great strides in marriage preservation and divorce reform when it passed its Covenant Marriage Law in 2001. | | | Conservatives have fought the culture war bravely and laudably on every issue of concern on the social front, from abortion to gay marriage, but leave the issue of divorce conspicuously off the table. | | | Social conservatives should be justly proud that they were able to mobilize even those who voted for John Kerry to vote to protect marriage, as exit polls showed in states such as Ohio on election night. |

| | The Constitution of Status-- Part I |
| | The political act of revolution accompanied a deeper and longer-lasting social transformation. | | | In a hierarchy with many status groups, there can be many different ways of differentiating the various groups and their respective lifestyles, and hence the system of social meanings (and the results of changes in social meanings) can be quite complex. | | | Groups lower in a status hierarchy may respond to their lower status by developing a compensatory sense of esteem in their own ways of living, condemning the lifestyles of higher status groups as immoral or inauthentic, or attempting to turn their lower status into a point of pride through irony. |

| | Reader's Companion to American History - -PROGRESSIVISM |
| | Although the term applied most obviously to the short-lived Progressive party of former president Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 elections, progressivism as a general stance clearly applied to many members of the Republican, Democratic, Socialist, and Prohibition parties as well. | | | The largest exception to this generalization was the group that identified with social settlement work: from Jane Addams to Eleanor Roosevelt, these progressives supported the New Deal and helped usher the welfare state into the American system. | | | These pioneers of social work in Chicago soon became role models for young men and women in other cities, attracting such figures as John Dewey and George Herbert Mead to study what they were doing and to work their insights into a pragmatic philosophy that would solve the problems of democracy. |
