I agree that a hero should do what's right and stand up for his beliefs. But do they really have to be successful in their endeavor?
Say there is some vile oppressive government. One man (or woman, let's not be sexist here) stirs the people into rebellion. They maybe have a civil war for a number of years. Over time our hero is killed, before his(or her) dream comes to fruitition. Eventually the rebellion succeeds and a kinder benevelant government is put into place. Is not our original instigator of the rebellion a hero, even though they themsesves did not succeed?
I would think so.
