Marcelo González
: Reconsidering the speaker, I just removed my suggestion of "lackluster [passion]." I think "weak" would be the better of the two options (and "should" instead of "must" as well).

: perhaps even "faintness of heart"?//Yes, I'd simply say, e.g., "revolutionaries can't afford to be fainthearted"
