- Brief Overview
The World Revolution is an idea for a new, global grassroots social movement for progressive social change. It aims to resolve in a definitive and comprehensive manner the major social problems of our world and our era.
The World Revolution is intended to be a large-scale, mass social movement, involving large numbers of people, and international in scope. It is also intended to be a long-term, yet urgent social movement. A tentative time-frame for the WR is 15-25 years.
There are four broad 'issue areas' of the WR: 'Peace', Human Rights, Environment, and Development.
The World Revolution is intended to be a primarily peaceful and nonviolent revolution, based on nonviolent activism, organizing and advocacy.
A major aspect of the WR is an attempt to unify both the various organizations as well as individuals throughout the world that are working for global justice.
The WR is intended to be a free and open social movement, and not a formal, official organization. It is intended to be fully democratic, decentralized and non-hierarchical in its structure and decision-making.
Types of activity and activism envisioned by the World Revolution include: protests, public education, media activism, civil disobedience, direct action, and other traditional as well as new, innovative forms of activism, advocacy, campaigning and protest.
