Action and motivation are two different things.

 

Regardless of what you or I might think of their actions,  the supporters of folks like Castro, Chavez, Ho Chi Mihn, and even George Bush - evidently do consider their motivations to be revolutionary.

 

Does Fire in the Minds of Men always lead to freedom? No, it does not - as  pointed out by American Conservative Magazine regarding when Dubya "The Radical Son" quoted the phrase:

‘What is he doing there?’
‘He is putting the fire out, your Excellency.’
‘Not likely. The fire is in the minds of men and not in the roofs of houses. Pull him down and give it up! Better give it up, much better! Let it put itself out.’

The fire does not break out as a result of spontaneous combustion, as Barone seems to imply: it is deliberately set by disgruntled workers acting under the influence of a nihilistic cabal. This is meant to dramatize Dostoyevsky’s view of the Russian revolutionaries of his time, whom he saw as possessed by a desire to destroy and little else.
