In America the word "revolution," as she and her friends used it, implied freedom.

Well, most of them think so. They have learned, as children, the habit of identifying existing authority with constraint, and hence a rebellion against it must, a priori, be toward freedom. This is Marxism's greatest betrayal.

I do take issue with that interpretation of Lolita, though, although I can see why their circumstances might lead them toward it. In fact, Humbert Humbert's crime was the same as theirs - the failure to separate fantasy from reality.
