another point I remember being made on the aftermath of successful revolutions was how revolutions tend to select leaders which are ill-suited to rebuild the institutions after they have won
To some degree, revolutions feel like the primary / general election distinction.
In that the things you have to say and positions you have to hold to inspire people to revolution, are ill suited to post-revolution rebuilding.
Which is probably why it's rare: you'd need someone who's self-aware enough to hold both views, talented enough to have both skillsets, and politically astute enough to navigate that pivot with their colleagues and constituents.
