When Silvia Labayru got out of jail, where she had been placed for trying to bring about a communist revolution, to celebrate her release, her father, a high-ranking military general, gave her a Rolex watch as a gift.

It’s hard to think of a pithier anecdote that would be just as symbolic of revolutionary movements everywhere.
