I guess people from lower class can’t stand for themselves as they are busy surviving. Revolutionnary figures were often from middle class (Lenine, Che…)
He wasn’t in charge, tried to overthrow the government the first time but failed, spent 6 years pandering, and then he was the absolute authority for over a decade leading up to his death. The only thing that stopped him was Germany being conquered by the Allies and USSR.
That’s why I specified in the long term. In the end, his atrocities became too untenable and he and his regime were dismantled. I’d consider that a failure in the long term.

Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro…

I don’t think anyone would consider Hitler successful in the long term.

The revolution itself was successful, I made no claims on the system of government that followed it.
