Revolution definitions should decompose into components present by definition

Evidence

Box 7.2 describes what is possible. It proposes a less demanding definition of revolution than Paige’s or Parsa’s. It then breaks the definition into components that are present by definition, but that discipline the work of explaining change and variation in revolutionary struggles. Conditions and processes that cause the listed components vary and change historically. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 957
