That's how all revolutionary figures are shown in liberal media. Usually, the go-to is to create a character with good intentions, a practical mindset for achieving change, and enough of a material base for an uprising, but have to character assassinate them by arbitrarily making them evil in some manner, jumping the shark.

It is extremely difficult to make a sympathetic, well-written revolutionary villian, because if the audience isn't reminded to hate them they will side with them.
