One man’s revolutionary is another man’s dictator!

-Che Guevara

100 Upright Men is a tribute to the world’s hidden name, who fight for their countries and people, till last breath of their life. People of those countries are still taking inspiration from them, but the rest of the world is unknown of their deeds.

All governments are establishments, as are all institutions. The foremost interest in every institution is to preserve the institution itself, for any change in the institution will make it less relevant. Governments, through politicians, establish a workable society, to perpetuate their views, and will not accept any alternative view points.

The governments, just like religions and cultures, indoctrinate their people to their points of view. They fight new ideas that would interfere with their establishments. They perpetuate that which keeps them in power. People are not elected to political offices to change things, but rather, to keep things the way they are. Communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism, free enterprise system, all of them are the same. they have a necessity for self preservation. To preserve the institution. Any new idea will be crushed, totally. Hence the need for revolutionaries.

But in the end, the most relevant change must occur inside each one of us. The real revolution is the revolution of consciousness. Each one of us each needs to eliminate the divisionary, materialist noise that we have been conditioned to accept as truth. depends on you, and not somebody else, because in this there is no teacher, no guru, no leader, no master, no savior, and no prophet. This is totally upto you.
