well, I think the meaning of revolutionary is not necessarily a person whp brings about a political revolution and overthrows the regime.
Smith is a revolutionary in the sense that he revolts the Party inside himself. But he is just too naive to trust O'Brien...
he's different from common Outer Party members that he has memory, he adores freedom, he kn9ows the 'truth'....
