You absolutely shouldn't trust the revolutionists who tell you to die for their causes. Revolutions and chaos in general make most people's lives worse off, hence why they tend to happen when peoples' lives are so bad that they can't possibly get worse than status quo.

That doesn't mean revolutions are bad from a system point of view, they serve as reboots for a system plagued with memory leaks.

And there is no guarantee that what replaces what you had previously is any better.
