can somebody shorten what this sentence says?

Im having a hard time breaking down this sentence. I don't understand what is saying

"Popular fealty to the legend of Villa as a Mexican Robin Hood and revolutionary leader, however mythical his reputation may or may not be, corresponds to an abiding belief that the post-revolutionary state has yet to fulfill the ideals or to equitably confer the benefits that, in the eyes of lower-class Mexicans, Villa and the revolution had embodied"
