To start and lead a "SUCCESSFUL" revolution...

[Samurai Waki]

One needs a strong leader. Someone, quite admittedly like Adolf Hitler, who can fire up the crowds with a speech. Some one who when people walk by stop and listen and go... "You know? He's right."

One needs a long term plan.

What else would one man need to start the revolution the world requires.

You need to be outspoken, condemn your opponents point of view, while never mentioning the drawbacks of your own. Give people the attention they want, by focusing on the issues that affect them the most. Gather a close retinue of intelligent, like minded individuals to back up your own agenda, and for gods sake don't strike until the iron is hot.

[Caius]

Oh and send to Prisioners Administration (aka Gulags) 40 million of people. Because any revolution would work without killing the opposition.
