This is from a Cuban Telegram that I follow. I really like how they define a revolution. Hope you like it:

  • “Revolution is a sense of the historic moment;
  • it is changing everything that must be changed;
  • it is full equality and freedom;
  • it is being treated and treating others as human beings;
  • it is emancipating ourselves by our own efforts;
  • it is challenging powerful dominant forces within and outside the social and national spheres;
  • it is defending the values in which one believes at the cost of any sacrifice;
  • it is modesty, selflessness, altruism, solidarity, and heroism; it is fighting with boldness, intelligence, and realism;
  • it is never lying or violating ethical principles;
  • it is a deep conviction that no force in the world is capable of crushing the power of truth and ideas.
  • Revolution is unity;
  • it is independence;
  • it is fighting for our dreams of justice for Cuba and for the world, which is the foundation of our patriotism, our socialism, and our internationalism.”

«Revolución es sentido del momento histórico; es cambiar todo lo que debe ser cambiado; es igualdad y libertad plenas; es ser tratado y tratar a los demás como seres humanos; es emanciparnos por nosotros mismos y con nuestros propios esfuerzos; es desafiar poderosas fuerzas dominantes dentro y fuera del ámbito social y nacional; es defender valores en los que se cree al precio de cualquier sacrificio; es modestia, desinterés, altruismo, solidaridad y heroísmo; es luchar con audacia, inteligencia y realismo; es no mentir jamás ni violar principios éticos; es convicción profunda de que no existe fuerza en el mundo capaz de aplastar la fuerza de la verdad y las ideas. Revolución es unidad, es independencia, es luchar por nuestros sueños de justicia para Cuba y para el mundo, que es la base de nuestro patriotismo, nuestro socialismo y nuestro internacionalismo».
