In this particular context two uses of the word "revolution" is central,
The Industrial Revolution and the overthrow of goverment and the
replacement of it by a new one. For the latter the concept of the
clashes of classes is central to Marx. I think the change of system of
production of goods are, if not required, very central to call something
a revolution. He definetly did not require such a event to be violent.
He had a view of history as a movement through periods where each period
where defined by 1) a certain way of organizing society and the
production of goods and 2) the conflict of economic interest between two
mayor classes.
I don't think one can form a lujvo for that whole concept (it definely
would be to complicated), but a lujvo which is suited for such a use.
Thanks for the suggestions I've gotten so far. I'm looking at them right
now. I don't think I made this easier for any of you, but I hope I made
it easier for you to help me.

Another possible avenue is to create and define your terms in the article itself. This is common in natlang literature.
