Realized it last night while I'm ready for bed, this thought entered my mind: Andres Bonifacio (the Filipino Revolutionary) and Aureliano Buendia (a character in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude) were both revolutionaries who planned their wars and fought it and all of those revolutions were unsuccessful. Coincidence?
