Best Answer

Bourgeois Revolution is a term used to describe the process by which the economy of Europe went from a feudal system to a business-based system. The main beneficiaries of this change were a new capitalist class of people, which became ascendant economically and politically, and the middle classes that became central to the functioning of this system (these latter groups of professionals expanded and grew wealthier than they could have under the previous system).

Socialist theory holds that the bourgeois revolution was positive and necessary to progress but that it should be finite, not an end in itself. The system established by the bourgeois revolution should, according to this view, pass over into socialism and eventually full communism.

The term "bourgeois revolution" does not seem to be favored outside of socialist theory, and (in the United States, at least) is not generally used to describe the current political and economic milieu, except by socialists.

Did the French Revolution become a bourgeoisie revolution?

Though that is subjective, the Bourgeois did take a lot of control away from the sans-culottes. The National Assembly was entirely bourgeois and they were eager to calm the peasants down once they had control. However, it could be argued that the peasants did get what they wanted when they rioted and kicked off. So decide for yourself.

Lenin gave much thought to the March 1917 Russian Revolution that forces the Czar to step down.
