'one has a broad view' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'attempt to restrain extreme characters and be revolutionary?' is the wordplay.
'attempt' becomes 'go' (go is a kind of attempt).
'to restrain' is an insertion indicator.
'extreme characters' becomes 'AZ' (letters at the extremes of the alphabet).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'revolutionary?' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'be' written backwards gives 'eb'.
'az'+'eb'='azeb'
'go' going around 'azeb' is 'GAZEBO'.
