The Coercion theory is what I found most intriguing. The Coercion Theory says that conflicting interests within a society are not permanent and that a consensual model of a classless society comes from revolutionary conflict. In my mind this means that people or small groups can disagree within a society without it affecting the main process of things. Once people start calling for a complete overhaul of a particular belief or idea of the way something needs to be, is an example of a revolutionary social conflict. This is when I feel changes within a society become permanent.
