Nobody has made a successful "left libertarian" or whatever revolution. If
you think that somebody in 1920 had the right ideas but failed because
people didn't listen to the truth you're simply an idealist and ideologue
who has to work out how to make the masses listen. Please stop pretending to
talk on behalf of the rest of us as most of us know that we don't know how
to make a revolution and want to work it out.

the opposite being that those who dig their own graves create half a
revolution? What do we have to do for the second half?
I think what Leutha was wittily trying to suggest was that the problem is
that you are into (dig) half (failed) revolutions, and this is rather
dangerous.
