Mmm. No. In all the revolutions that come to mind, both are involved, both affect the thinking of the masses. EG the French Revolution: Negative rights: remove the arbitrary powers of the aristocracy. Positive rights, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." Or am I missing your point?
that'd be nice, but the revolutionary element isn't the people who *should* want the revolution, it's the people who *do* want the revolution, and the reactionary element isn't the people who *shouldn't* want it, it's the people who *don't* want it

Unless the masses themselves are vehemently, enthusiastically for revolution, it quite simply cannot happen.

I don't speak Spanish. Thing about the lumpen-proletariat is that they can provide the shock troops for fascists. They can also, however, become part of the revolutionary movement when it looks like it knows what it's doing.
