Revolutionay is more then a hand shake or a tha way you talk
it's all about what you do that makes you a Revolutionary

Good Question.......AK
My answer on this would have to be: A Revolutionary is one who revolts against the system or a system that oppresses the "masses" for the benefit of a few "by any means neccessary" rather in education (physical or mental), military, religion, or plain ole babysittin'....................A Revolutionaries only goal is to "FREE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OPPRESSED", in other words a "Revolutionary = Sheep Herder" (a righteous 1)!!!!!

in my mind the easiest way for me to describe what a revolutionary is to me would be , " one who strives to over turn (destroy) the ruling order ( because of its unjust nature)(capitalism\white supremacy) and replace it with a just system( socialism/pan-afrikanism). one who has made this his/her lifes work"

"I am...a revolutionary
and you're gonna have
to keep on sayin that
You're gonna have to say
that I am a proletariat
I am the people,
I'm not the pigs"

"Revolutionaries are not born. They are made by feeling the pain of everyone who has lived and suffered. Why some take this pain as their own and others do not, I don't know. For some, it is impossible to eat a meal and not feel angry because everyone is not eating. For most, it is not only possible, but also amazingly easy to live without the slightest spasm over another's pain. The revolutionary is he who has reached that stage of psychosocial evolution where the alleviation of his own pain is secondary to alleviating the pain of others. Unlike the Christian missionary, the Florence Nightingale, or the liberal do-gooder, the revolutionary recognizes that to attempt to alleviate the pain of individuals alone is to become engaged in unending acts of frustration. There are too many individuals in pain to attend to them individually. People are oppressed en masse, not separately. They can only be freed en masse. Thus, the revolutionary is concerned with a total change in a society's institutions, for it is the institutions which shape the individuals. At the same time, the revolutionary knows that to change the institutions he must change himself. He and his comrades must become new men, for it is from new men that the new institutions will come which, in turn, will create the new society."

A revolutionary is anyone who demands/evokes/inspires/influences Change in any facet of our living.

One of the greatest for me will always be Brother Malcolm. Especially through and with the teachings and mindful work under Elijah Muhammed, he transformed the lives and ways of so many Afrikan men. Simply through his words he inspired a people; and in his death, continues to do so. He also became the epitome of his words in saying revolution requires bloodshed (paraphrasing). He was brave in knowing he would not live long (at least I think he knew), and kept striving on anyway. Right until his bloody assassination.

So if changes are coming or made because of what you said, did, felt, thought, shared, etc... you are a revolutionary. In my humble opinion.

Peace.

A revolutionary is one who stands up for and seeks Truth wherever and however it may appear. A revolutionary is one who annihilates lies with Who They Are.
