Nah. Comrades in arms has always been one of my hardcore narrative kinks, and revolutions specifically could add any number of narrative elements that might be appealing to you.

Revolutions have connotations of zeal, courage, chaos, anarchy, the element of betrayal on one or more sides that's inherent in striking out against the authority that's supposed to support you/that you're supposed to support, the idea of brother vs brother that comes from fighting within your own state, a strong underdog element from a more ragtag group going up against the established state/military, some of the darker elements that are inherent in coups and assassinations, the danger of civil war, the concept of cyclical vengeance, the value of a regime born in violence, the idea of the doomed victor and/or the doomed but valiant stand, the risks of sliding away from justified revolution and into terrorist agitators (also the POVs that will paint you as such either way, and whether or not they're right), conflicts within the group as different people come down on various sides of any of the above issues, the danger of the revolution disintegrating from volatile and passionate people vs the more monolithic and regulated state forces opposing them, the sense of fragility, passion, conflict, darkness and moral extremism ...

There's a bunch of thematic and interpersonal implications to a revolutionary setting, any of which might appeal to you, especially since a comrades in arms relationship, in this specific context, often becomes a lot more fraught. Social justice, though an element, is possibly the least of it. For human relationships, a revolution is one of the more volatile and fascinating settings to view them in.

Well. Provided it's fictional, or a ways back in time. Less so to live through one, I'd imagine.
