"we are heading toward a clash of civilizations. Not Huntington’s clash between cultures, but something more fundamental. A clash between incompatible visions of how humans should organize themselves—whether ordinary people possess the capacity to govern their own lives.
And the die is already cast.
…not policy disagreements [but] incompatible visions of what kind of civilization we should be."

The Year of Terror in the French Revolution
The Reign of Terror continues to fascinate scholars as one of the bloodiest periods in French history, when the Committee of Public Safety strove to defend the first Republic from its many enemies, creating a climate of fear and suspicion in revolutionary France.

Albert Soboul: The French Revolution, Archetype of Bourgeois Revolution
For Albert Soboul, the French Revolution is more than a political upheaval; it marks the rise of bourgeois society, achieved with the support of the people but for the benefit of the new ruling class. His Marxist interpretation has profoundly influenced generations of historians. #FrenchRevolution #Soboul #Bourgeoisie #History #SocialClasses #Marx Albert Soboul (1914–1982) is one of the greatest…

Really hoping I can get to this exhibition for research reasons...

The life and thoughts of "atheist priest" Jean Meslier (1664-1729.) Often considered the first true modern atheist Jean Meslier was outwardly a dutiful local priest for over 40 years, but on his death left his flock with a philosophical testament that rejected the dogmas of all religions, denied the existence of God or the supernatural and excoriated the corruption and privileges of the clergy.

Terror is a weapon most critical to any ‘revolution’. This was examplified during the French Revolution and is ongoing in Russia with the successive re-imaginings of Lenin’s Cheka. I suspect that the lessons were not missed by the #Project2025 authors and implementers in the #WH. Revolutions without terror do not last and give way to ‘re-normalisation’ of the regime (see post revolutionary French history for example).
The US is currently in the midst of an #OligarchicRevolution and the #Terror is just begining (because it has not ending in such regimes).

In 1789, rumours spread like a virus across France: gangs of bandits were attacking villages, destroying crops and terrorizing peasants, mobilized by nobles trying to suppress political unrest. None of it was true. But the resulting panic and upheaval, called the Great Fear, helped to fuel the French Revolution.
"Outlawed in my own land for having served her with courage," the Marquis de Lafayette wrote to his wife, Adrienne, "I have been forced to flee into enemy territory from France, which I defended with so much love. #History #ReignOfTerror #FrenchRevolution #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2781-en/
World History Encyclopedia · The Prisoner of Olmütz: Lafayette's Imprisonment During the French Revolution
Today in Labor History August 27, 1798: An army of 2,000 French troops and United Irishmen, led by Wolfe Tone, routed a combined force of 6,000 British and Protestant loyalist soldiers in the Battle of Castlebar, during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Wolfe Tone’s Society of United Irishmen formed in the wake of the French Revolution in order to win “equal representation in government for all people,” emancipation of Catholics and an independent Ireland. The organization was composed of both Protestants and Catholics who vowed to make common cause in their struggle. They organized primarily among the working class and tenant farmers. The Irish Rebellion lasted from late 5/24/1798-10/12/1798. Up 50,000 Irish rebels and civilians died in the uprising, along with up to 2,000 loyalist troops.
