Could You Lead a Revolution?

Rise up! You see the possibility of change all around you, and you have the confidence to lead and the passion and the charisma to stir up the crowds. You are not afraid to use whatever means are necessary in your quest for justice, but confidence and charisma can only get you so far. Many revolutionaries have flared and faded like fast-burning fireworks, so be sure that your desire for change is rooted in love, not vanity!

You were listening when John Lennon sang, 'We all want to change the world.' Like Lennon, you agree that 'when you talk about destruction... you can count me out!' You are logical, analytical, and a great strategist, but you are also a pacifist and refuse to take up arms or use violence as a means to an end.

You are a dreamer, a warrior, and a visionary who will fight for what you believe regardless of the odds. You have a strong charismatic side, and you inspire others to take up your cause and fight alongside you as you battle for justice. Whether your crusades have a small local effect or influence a global change of attitude doesn't matter, the point is that you are making a difference. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'The time is always right to do what is right.'

You are a visionary and an artist who refuses to be labeled or placed into a box. Your rebellious streak means that you fight for your own unique revolution. The causes you support are probably those on the fringes of social acceptance, or maybe you choose to fight for a more popular cause but in your own extraordinary way. Like folk singer Patti Smith, you influence change while staying true to your own path.

You may not be a fiery leader, but that doesn't mean your role in the revolution is not essential. Without the dedication of their supporters and followers, the impassioned visions of Martin Luther King, Jr., Che Guevara, and Mahatma Gandhi would have remained nothing but dreams. Your commitment and persistence are essential for the revolution, because it is your work that allows the inspired dreams of others to become reality.

Revolution is never as fun as it sounds! You are an idealist with deeply held beliefs, but you don't understand why people would want to risk their lives to challenge the status quo when there are smarter ways to make a difference. You shake your head as you listen to the fiery rhetoric and impassioned calls to rise up, and you work for change behind the scenes in a quiet, efficient, and far less destructive manner.
