2 - The Leadership
It should be borne in mind that a general state of public dissatisfaction with the political system and the bipolarization of the society do not necessarily lead to a revolution. The preliminary stage of any revolution is widespread popular participation in various phases of a revolution, which culminates in a sudden social explosion within that society. However, if this popular participation is bereft of a strong leadership, or if the leadership is not able to direct the popular movement efficiently and in a desired manner, or generate the needed vitality and dynamism in the necessary political institutions, the revolutionary movement will probably not succeed. Here, we will review the three required characteristics of a revolutionary leader[21]:1 - He must be the revolutionary ideologue, or be the founder of a distinct school of thought, or the designer of the revolutionary ideology.2 he must be widely recognized as the leader of the revolution, or its hero and head of all revolutionary operations.3 Also, he must be the undisputed leader of the revolutionary government, or be widely known as the architect of the new society, which shall emerge after the victory of the revolution. These three faces and facets of the leadership can, at times, be concurrently present in one individual, and this would be the most ideal and successful form of leadership a revolution can enjoy.
