revolutionary tactics

Uprising battle methods

Revolutionary tactics are methods used to overthrow or radically transform an existing political or social order.

The term covers strategies from armed insurgency and guerrilla warfare to mass mobilization, strikes, and propaganda campaigns.

The rebels studied revolutionary tactics from earlier uprisings.

In looser usage, revolutionary tactics describes any approach that breaks dramatically from conventional methods to achieve rapid, fundamental change: Her revolutionary tactics transformed the company's culture.
