Social revolutions are never simple.
Revolt is not reform, and one revolutionary administration is not good government.
Revolution may not be pro-Western or democratic.
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up.

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
All revolutions are violent revolutions.
