A counterrevolution is an opposing revolution that attempts to reverse a revolution. A person or group who opposes a revolution is declared counter-revolutionary. In Marxist theory, counterrevolutions are a reactionary force usually composed of bourgeois forces.
In the past, royalists have attempted counterrevolutions against bourgeois revolutions like the French Revolution. In recent times, the West has supported and instigated "color revolutions" in socialist states to expand their own interests.
