world revolution
Planetary political transformation
World revolution is the vision of a global overthrow of existing political and economic systems, typically capitalist ones, to establish a new order—usually socialist or communist.
The concept was central to early Marxist theory, which held that workers' uprisings would spread across national boundaries until capitalism collapsed everywhere.
The Bolsheviks initially believed the Russian Revolution would spark world revolution.
The phrase now appears mostly in historical discussions or among radical leftist groups.
