Communist revolutions drew on the mystique of the French Revolution. They got rid of landed aristocracies and the old ruling classes which involved peasant upheavals in the countryside and educated leadership in the cities. I thought it was interesting that the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions all looked to a modernizing future, but there were important differences. Examples consist of communist revolutions that were made by highly organized parties guided by a Marxist ideology. The middle classes were among the victims of communist upheavals, whereas middle classes were chief beneficiaries of French Revolution.
During the cold war it was a battle between the communist and communism parties. It is still questionable today if the Soviet Union or the United States won. The Revolutionary Path led to a part of reform which relates to the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution had reforms which created change in non violent ways. These reforms eventually led to a Revolution.
