Revolution general concept is refusing and rebelling against bad reality, decrepit ideas and outmoded beliefs. It is the rebelling against arrogant, autocrat and oppressor regardless of their verbal meanings and varied definitions.
Real rebels are those who are practicing values, principles and ethics in refusing this reality fighting against its protectors, supporters and working on bringing them down in order to allow the ones who have principles and respect justice and equality, freedom and dignity, humbleness knowledge and creativity besides that values of accepting the other. They are those who fight for these ethics and principles , and work on it.
Revolution has its own conditions, goals and infrastructure. So if a revolution is to success, it must have factors of firmness and continuity. Revolution conditions are injustice, ignorance and tyranny. Once these exit, the public will light the spark of revolution led by its leaders who have principles , noble thoughts and brilliant minds. It is not a condition that all people to have rebels ethics and manners for the revolution to success achieving its aims, if all people are of principles and noble thoughts then why would revolution be and for what aim?
Then if thinkers, scientists and leaders step forward with the people following them, the revolution for sure will achieve its goals and success even if the precious is scarified.
But if scientists, thinkers and leaders step backward standing aside analyzing, lecturing and criticizing while they so far; in this case revolution is probably heading another lost from its previous lost. In case scientists and thinkers step forward to lead but without the public , then it would be a fight between the two parties until one beat the other. Probably people of rights and of logical sense will appear who the people will follow soon in case they stand strong.
At the beginning, revolution is a spontaneous express of anger and satisfaction with the current regime and ruling method. There must be wise men and scientists to take opportunity to fix the problems and wrong deeds so that revolution can reach the required aims where the real work is on the people who carried out the revolution supporting and sacrificing for it or they were be neutral in order to build the country with love and teamwork pushing aside selfishness and ignorance.
Revolution success is measured to how clear are the project of the revolution and goals besides the honesty of its rebels.
Media plays an important role in changing the public behaviors and attitudes spreading awareness among them in addition to convincing them of the success of the revolution and sacrificing for it in case it is used for gaudiness. Workers in media are basic part who step forward guiding along with scientists and thinkers the public however they wish.
Revolution is for all, if they became oppressors and tyrant complaining about each other and accusing others of betray, they will be back to the first squire losing their revolution and homeland.
But if they hold on tight to the principles of justice bearing all the pains and becoming united where everyone is in the suitable opposition, they reach glory and achieve successes.
