It a metaphorical sense, maybe.

The difference between a stalwart visionary and a failed revolutionary nut, ... is success.

Had Che Guevara been able to accomplish any of his goals he would have been more than a pretty posterboy. He failed at everything and is therefore, a failed revolutionary nut.

Never take the idea of a millionaire. Always take the opinion of an academic or union leader. I mean just look, which one has the proven performance?

Is income the sole measure of proven success? A couple of those guys in your signature may disagree.

Nah. I don't give a damn where a good idea originates. I just wont automatically throw one out because it came from somebody I find contemptible.
