On the other hand, revolutionaries can also be quite pessimistic about the current state of the world. They see injustice, poverty, and oppression all around them, and they may feel that the only way to change things is through revolutionary violence. This pessimism can be seen in the words of Frantz Fanon, "Violence is the only language the oppressor understands."
Ultimately, whether revolutionaries are optimistic or pessimistic is a matter of personal perspective. Some revolutionaries may be more hopeful than others, but all of them share a belief in the possibility of change.
