The Evolution of Revolution

R&D's Erich Hugo on Nelson Mandela, his mother-in-law and the communication revolution

Revolutions have become sanitized affairs in the Western World. Far removed from the guts and glory days of the French Revolution, there has been an ebb towards making these socially up heaving events part an parcel of our daily lives.

I guess it's all in the packaging.

I have lived through a revolution IRL.
