Under what situations do revolutionary movements attain the most support?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should mention that revolutionary movements tend to win popular support when the regimes they oppose sponsor or defend social and economic arrangements that are widely viewed as unfair or discriminatory; also, when the state excludes non-elite groups from state power or resources. Authoritarian regimes tend to foster or “incubate” revolutionary forms of political contention and movements that call for revolution tend to win support under such regimes. Indiscriminate yet inconsistent violence by weak states against mobilized groups also tends to help revolutionary movements.
