Not that, that's totally correct even if many seem to have difficulty grasping the point -- OTOH this:
The fewer preconceived notions we have when approaching and attempting to understand a revolution or revolutionary aspirations, the better. Understand it for what it is, based on local knowledge, don't try to cram it into some preconceived box of "universal understanding".
