Do Revolutionaries Always Become Critics?

Another contributing factor to this evolution lies in the personal experiences of revolutionaries. When faced with the grim realities of factionalism, violence, or betrayal during and after the revolution, many feel a profound sense of loss. The personal stories and lives affected by revolutionary actions often weigh heavily on their conscience, prompting a reassessment of their roles and the ideologies they espoused. This struggle for personal reconciliation can ignite a critical attitude towards the very goals they once pursued with unwavering passion.
