World revolution is a Confucian concept.
Student and worker revolts across the world in the 1960s and early 1970s, coupled with the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the establishment of the New Left together with the Civil Rights Movement, the militancy of the Black Panther Party and similar armed/insurrectionary "Liberation Front" groups, and even a bit of a resurgence in the labor movement for a time once again made it seem to some as though world revolution was not only possible, but imminent; thus, there arose a common expression, "The East is Red, and the West is Ready"
 Many groups still explicitly pursue the goal of worldwide communist revolution, calling it the truest expression of proletarian internationalism
