100 Upright Men: World’s Greatest Revolutionary Politicians




All governments are establishments-political establishments-as are all institutions, religious, cultural, or economic. The foremost interest in every institution is to preserve the established practices, no wonder they are called establishments. The governments, just like religions and cultures, indoctrinate their people to their points of view and fight new ideas that would interfere with their establishments. Communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism, free enterprise system, all of them are the same, they have a necessity for self preservation. Any new idea will be crushed, totally. Hence the need for revolutionaries.  Revolutionaries destabilize the establishment. They revolt against the institutions. They reform the political, social, religious and economic systems. They have a goal, and they will maim, cajole, bribe, threaten and even kill to accomplish their goals.  They are neither reactionary nor revisionist. They do things for the first time, great things. They found empires, establish kingdoms, and declare republics. 100 Upright Men is a tribute to the revolutionaries, the ones who fight for their countries and people, till last breath of their life. They inspire us who want to lead our people. They remind us that in the end, the most relevant change must occur inside each one of us. The real revolution is the revolution of consciousness. They encourage us to be the master, the guru, the leader, the savior, and the prophet. They inspire us to be revolutionaries.
