The greatest enemy of revolution is success

Reading the book today, I found this sentence very interesting: The greatest enemy of a revolution is its success. This is the Internet. A person who follows a revolutionary trend of thought (whether he is a grassroots hero or a cyber hero), once he is cultivated, he will be transformed into the object of a new round of revolution. Out of survival strategy, he must make new things to continue the storm he set off at the beginning, or he will be over. Because he can only play this way.

Obama always likes to use the word "sports" during the campaign. When he became president, he still said "Our movement". Sometimes people can't help but wonder: what movement? What exactly is his "movement"? Why is he still "moving" after the election, because he can't stop, he must transform his opponent into AIG, GM, etc. In the United States, my personal feeling is that the Democratic Party is suitable for entrepreneurship and the Republican Party is suitable for business.

Some of us are born revolutionaries and entrepreneurs. He can destroy or create, but he cannot keep it. This sentence may explain why Che Guevara would go out and start all over again when he was successful, repeatedly "exporting revolution." I’ve seen an old movie Cimmaron about this state cowboy hero Yancey. The same is true of Yancey. During the Oklahoma race, he ran to a place and started from scratch. Make a small town look decent. After the family had adapted, he slackened again and ran away again without knowing where to end. Later, it was discovered that he was actually nearby, but he didn't show up. In the end, he saved the man and died. No one knew his original glory when he died. This is a tragedy, but it is also a realm. Not everyone can look at the career they have created and retreat on their own.

Che Guevara and Yancey's life is a tragedy, they themselves became heroes. However, some other people in this world will grasp their own foundation and refuse to let go. They still use the old rules to manage the order that they have taken down, so there is the Cultural Revolution in this world.

    Full English subtitles, only understand 80%. The hero of the story is indeed the embodiment of the hero. Tall and handsome, good marksmanship, courageous and resourceful, and eloquent, he is a lawyer and the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. Loving your wife, the most important point is that you advocate freedom and have an adventurous spirit in your bones. You have to go out and wander every few years, and you can't stay in the same place for more than five years. As a governor, he saved the people. I once defended a prostitute, respecting human rights, not discriminating, and being equal. Married a good wife, and kept the newspaper business in good order while he was away. In the end, he sacrificed heroically to save people. Before the sacrifice, his wife realized that he had been wandering away and never returned home. What is the reason for a hero to wander on his own without his ambitions? Some netizens said that it was for face, some said that the ending was unreal, and some said that it was the director's magic, and the open ending made people guess. I personally think it is acceptable, a restless wandering heart is destined to be lonely forever. He doesn't care about the eldest children and grandchildren, what he cares about is the realization of his ideals, such as the male protagonist's struggle for the rights of the Indians

    The end of the first Western movie that was crowned Oscar (the next one is "Dances with Wolves" after 60 years) makes the image of the male protagonist even more glorious, a great and kind adventurer.

    Caption: In 1889, President Harrison opened the vast Indian Oklahoma Lands for white settlement... 2,000,000 acres free for the taking, poor and rich pouring in, swarming across the border, waiting for the starting gun, at noon, April 22nd.
