Historically, most famous revolutionaries, from Che Guevara to Ghandi or Trotsky, were well educated, often coming from solid middle-class backgrounds (e.g. Che Guevara was the son of a doctor).


Che was a doctor himself, according to

Sure, but being a doctor himself doesn't mean he was from a middle class background. The fact that his father was a doctor, though, does.


So you think intellect is not correlated with revolutionary-ness?
