The millenarian movement is a religious movement where old social order is disrupted or weakened, social unrest, and loss of power. Millenarian movement is revolutionary because they believe in the coming of a new world through supernatural actions. They are both trying to reach a new status or change. For millenarists a promise of happiness, good government, and prosperity gives millenarists call for change. Through these changes millenarists can hope for a perfect society “utopia.” Hobsbawm compared utopianism in both millenarian movements and revolutionary movement. He discussed that both set high standards and morality higher than that of any saint. Making the cause or ending unreachable or highly impossible.
