In support of Rakesh's point, we need only look at
what happened with Poland's Solidarity. What was
once a left socialist labor movement that was almost
anarcho-syndicalist became within a few short years
a reactionary movement that once into power was
quite willing to betray working class interests in
a variety of ways including the privatization of enterprises.

In support of my point, the fact that it happened
does not explain why it happened, nor how it might
have been avoided.
"Sticking to principle" is an admirable moral
precept, but it leaves a lot of politics to the
imagination.
