A bit confused where this one is going
Just naming successful revolution figures, that's all.
I don't think anyone would consider Hitler successful in the long term.
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.
The revolution itself was successful, I made no claims on the system of government that followed it.
