"Perpetual Revolution"

I believe that you may be thinking of Permanent Revolution. If I could recommend some cool Marxist (or, Marx-descended) terms: Revolutionary Terror, Antagonistic Contradiction, Metabolic Rift, Dual Power, Struggle Session.

How far down the Marxist rabbit hole can we go...?

Alienation of Labor, Hauntology, Summon: Spectre of Communism, Chocolate Laxative, Desert of the Real.

Permanent Revolution lasts until dispelled or you succeed on a saving throw.

Perpetual Revolution revolution requires a new saving throw each round. :D

I actually had it correct in my notes, I just recalled it wrong :)

And thanks for the suggestions! Now I can replace "Class of Conflict" with something that sounds much better.

Also, I must warn you I'm playing pretty fast and loose with what's "Marxist" - for example, one of the passives is New Soviet Man.
