Line 16:
Likely to overlap with [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]. If the revolution is against [[The Empire]] or other terrible government, examples this trope may also be [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]]. Succeeding, could well [[Meet the New Boss|turn into]] [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]. Some characters in such a setting may be [[Necessarily Evil]] and the more self-aware of those will realize that [[No Place for Me There|there's no place for them]] in the world they're creating.
 
The trope name is derived from [[Gil Scott-Heron]]'s 1974 spoken-word piece "[[The Revolution Will Not Be Televised]]".
