    The store billboard reads:

    Revolution is:

    - Sense of historical moment;
    - Exchange everything that must be exchanged;
    - To be treated and treat anyone as a human being.

    • exchange or just change?..rafalski
    • "cambiar" is spanish for change, but in that sense it means "exchange", like "troca" in PT. Direct commerce.
      ********
    • Well I guess it's a pun. Cambio can mean both change and exchange, esp. in a store.
      ********
    • On a second reading, I guess "change" applies better. Got confused because direct trade is something really hot right now.
      ********
    • now, in South-America.
      ********
    • Also called Eco-trade or Bio-trade and such. Shops that do direct-trade with no face value on products.
      ********
    • "Change everything that must be changed" is more into the overall tone of that "promo".

    no Corvo, bad translation.

    Revolution is:
    1. Having a sense of your history
    2. Fixing all of the worlds problems that need to be fixed
    3. Treating everyone as human beings.
