Revolutionary movement's superficial mark, we hear (5)

I believe the answer is:

wheel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'revolutionary movement's superficial' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'mark we hear' is the wordplay.
'mark' becomes 'weal' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'weal' is a homophone of 'WHEEL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wheel that I've seen before include "Roller on vehicle" , "Turn on axis" , "Parade order" , "Catherine -; gear -" , "- - of Fortune" .)
