24. Political Theory / C. Ruling a State / 4. Changing the State / c. Revolution

23125	Most good social changes are incremental, rather than revolutionary [Gopnik]
	Full Idea: More permanent positive social change is made incrementally rather than by revolutionary transformation.
	From: Adam Gopnik (A Thousand Small Sanities [2019], 1)
	A reaction: This is the standard liberal response to revolution. Revolutionaries obviously consider such a claim to be very naïve, and a failure to grasp how deep the changes need to go.
