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?

Are you sure about the wasp analogy? Whatever their hostility towards the human, which is outshined by it's benefit in pollenating our plants and producing honey or pest control in the case of parasitic wasps, it cannot be faulted for defending itself as it has evolved to do through natural selection. It is in fact a noble creature, willing to sacrifice itself for queen and hive.
