Contras is short for contrarevolucionares (counter-revolutionaries). The word revolution, in this context, refers to the Sandinistas’ revolution. The contras had the goal of restoring the status quo ante. So “revolutionaries” is an incorrect term, and one that the contras themselves would have bristled at.

The Contras were traditionally conservative, they reacted against the Sandanistas and their agenda to improve the lot of the lower classes. The Contras, like all conservatives, reacted against their sense of loss of status, wealth, entitlement, etc. That is precisely why Americans, more conservative than liberal, overreacted to "communism" in the first place and created the Cold War. It's also why we're in the current situation in the US, the self-centered conservative block is very angry at losing status to brown and black people.
