I need a "U".
Revolution and reformation are good things.
Not necessarily. Was the French Revolution "good"?
Nothing good in france but our revolution was clearly good.
What about uncompromising. As far as I know there is only one side that is supposed to compromise. Any guesses?
Really? Even the Russian Revolution in 1917? Even the Cuban Revolution under Fidel Castro?
I need a "U".
No, you need a clue. What does including Freemasonry have to do with it? You are another fool who don't know a thing about Masons. There are countless threads on FR bashing Masons and you are another basher.
How about these;

Was the French Revolution "good"?
Definitely not, nor was it quite as bad as the Russian Revolution. But the French based theirs on Rousseau and we based ours on Locke. Big difference in philosophy. Locke viewed revolution as a necessary thing, because he knew what happens to governments, of any ilk, over time.

Castro led a revolution. Lenin instigated a coup, following the Russian Revolution.
Unitarians
Lenin would not have succeeded had there not been a Russian Revolution, right?
Che Guevara? There have been plenty of revolutions that were not exactly good for society. (Although Che Guevara has been good for commie T-shirt sales at universities.)
All that happened in 1917 was that the dictatorial rule of one group of elitists (the Romanovs) was replaced by the dictatorial rule of another group of elitists (the Bolsheviks). The fabulous book "Animal Farm" illustrates this point when, by the end of the book, the animals on the farm could hardly distinguish between Farmer Jones and Napoleon the Pig.

Excellent!
Which revolution you talking about? Besides all of that would you prefer the world to still be seperated by the peasants and nobles? Just because some revolutions are bad, mostly the communist revolutions, it doesnt make all of them bad.
"Utopianism"
The belief that man can create a new, perfect society on Earth. It's a driving concept of liberalism.
Which French Revolution you talking about, they had a couple you know. I would argue the 1848 Revolution was good.
Oh I would put unitarianism for U BTW
