    I guess people from lower class can’t stand for themselves as they are busy surviving. Revolutionnary figures were often from middle class (Lenine, Che…)

            I don’t think anyone would consider Hitler successful in the long term.

              He wasn’t in charge, tried to overthrow the government the first time but failed, spent 6 years pandering, and then he was the absolute authority for over a decade leading up to his death. The only thing that stopped him was Germany being conquered by the Allies and USSR.

                That’s why I specified in the long term. In the end, his atrocities became too untenable and he and his regime were dismantled. I’d consider that a failure in the long term.

                  The revolution itself was successful, I made no claims on the system of government that followed it.
