Not at all; creative, free-thinking idealists start the rebellions, but because they lack a strong grasp of real power and politics, they get swept aside by the power-hungry Machiavellians. Castro could not have existed without Che Guevara; ditto Lenin and Trotsky. But once those totalitarians take power, they wipe out the people like Guevara and Trotsky; the people who are similar to the power-hungry dictators get co-opted into government positions. Hence, Stalin.
