revolution has 2 distinct synonyms spread across 1 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving
“the industrial revolution was also a cultural revolution”
the overthrow of a government by those who are governed
a single complete turn (axial or orbital)
“the plane made three rotations before it crashed”
