Thanks for asking :-), my beef is only from a spiritual perspective comparing them to self-realized masters, otherwise they are great. They are all birds of same feather, they are all revolutionaries, they are about crowd, the masses. Transforming crowds, masses is a very fascinating ego-satisfying concept but never works. It only feeds the ego, the ego wants to transform the suffering masses, the reasons for a revolution are always outside, decadent traditions, cultures, people in power. Even when they fail at revolution the ego doesn't admit failure again it blames things on the outside, that may be people are stupid and they don't understand the greatness of the revolutionary, that they are not ready for change. For people fascinated with the world these revolutionaries are great heroes. The crowd is a myth, there are only individuals and true transformation is only possible with the individuals. Taking a look superficially the self-realized masters also seem to be dealing with a crowd as well but it is just a misconception they really work at an individual level. The only revolution that is possible is inner but its a pity that its never satisfying for the ego since it is the ego death itself. Real peace, happiness, love, compassion is only possible with an inner revolution. Hope I made some sense.
