What does it take to be a good revolutionary?

So, I was looking around on wikipedia and I noticed that the definition of revolutionary is: a person who demands fundamental change in power or organizational structures, constitutional change. a person who demands it NOW.

By that definition, and looking at all the out of control drug laws and military spending and what have you, I guess most of us are revolutionaries, but none of us are any good at it. why is that?

It's called civil disobedience, and it's the best way to get the civilians on your side. The establishment will irritate you to try and make you turn violent, because once they've got you violent,then they know how to handle you.
