Revolutionary................................

Action from principle - the perception and the performance of right - changes things and relations;  it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was.  It not only divides states and churches, it divides families;  ay, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.
-Henry David Thoreau,   as excerpted from his essay, On The Duty of Civil Disobedience
