The five stages of revolution against the ruling elite:
1 Divergent - first stage. Propaganda against the elite by a religious or political ideology.
2 Insurgent - second stage. Physical action against the elite by using ideological authority.
3 Advertent - third stage. After eliminating the elite, creation of security tools to hold authority.
4 Alignment - fourth stage. Eliminating those who are divergent to the new ideological authority.
5 Allotment - fifth stage. Make everybody comfortable by rationally rewarding abilities and needs.
Not sure about the names of the stages. Any constructive help is appreciated. It has to end in "ent" too.
[Edit] I made it 5 stages. It looks complete this way.

Kinda like Marx's stages of history:
Marx saw that each stage or epoch created a new class or invention that would lead to its downfall. However the downfall would not be an automatically negative event, since with each step humanity at large would benefit. Each passing stage would therefore raise the standard of living of the masses while at the same time be doomed to its own downfall because of internal contradictions and class conflicts.
Only the last two epochs are to avoid this fate. With socialism (stage 5) the final oppressive class is overthrown and society is put under the dictatorship of the proletariat and thus advances into communism (stage 6).
2.1 Primitive communism
2.2 Slave society
2.3 Feudalism
2.4 Capitalism
2.5 Socialism
2.6 Communism
