Another revolution

I'd like to write a story now,
about a revolutionary in a cold city far up north somewhere, and a utopia which genetically conditions its citizens to feel a sense of moral uprightness from doing things for the good of society, and his band of revolutionaries, including a girl who falls in love with him, and their subsequent exploits.
Near the end, a member of his band, a girl he loves, is captured by the utopian soldiers, who explain to her that the society's genetic programming is not so different, or perhaps superior, to leaving our genes to nature or chance or fate, and upon returning to his band a new woman, she is killed by the revolutionary, who blames the government for her murder. Soon, he arranges the murder of many civilians and convinces the masses that the government did it, and millions of men join his band.
However, one night, they storm a famous monument, and he, seeing their impending failure, deserts them and tries to flee to the walls of the city as his band is slaughtered behind him, all the while screaming into his walky-talky. This is heard, and he is finally cornered, and he opens fire. They shoot him several times in the stomach, and he's horribly frightened, and he begins to cry. He dies the next day at 11, still crying.


Font size is representative of the unimportance of this idea relative to my other story ideas.
