Jacobin (G. Steinberg
Anarchy! Just as us Jacobin's planned, the monarchy of France is transitioning to a republic. As radical as these movements seem, they are a necessity for the future of France. I myself am a member of the third estate who has attended to my business for years in law very peacefully, but no longer. The unjust rule of the first and second estate must come to an end in any means plausible. I remember the glorious day as it is fixed in my memory; September 2nd, 1792. This was the day in fact where Georges-Jacques Danton, a revolutionary leader, rose to assembly and chanted that we rise against those who had pitted us unsuccessfully against Austria and take new rule to France. I was pleased as I had hated paying taxes to those stupid Clergymen and arrogant nobles. We needed to abolish the monarchy, execute the king, and return France to the people. The prisons held many counter-revolutionaries so we attacked at them first. Us Jacobin's knew this to be true because we had rounded them all up after the Tuileries assault in August. I was part of the mob. Between September 2nd and 4th 1000-1500 people were killed including over 200 priests. Anarchy! The streets were filled with blood and death filled the air, but the Republic was over the horizon and France was soon to be returned to the people. This is the time of the third estate! Viva La Revolucion!

ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that the ideal government is one where sovereignty is in the hands of the people, I cannot see sufficient reason for justifying such barbaric acts. Your actions merely exemplify the decadent civilization in which we live. The noble savage, the most ideal state of human existence, would never commit such monstrosities, nor be capable of them.

ReplyDeleteWe are not accusing them against just anything. They have given us reason to believe that they have been enemies to the revolution. Anybody in our way must be eliminated. Our actions are not barbaric, they promote justice. They allow us to rise from the ashes of France's old regime. Our actions are those of which that are saving France's reconstruction, central government system, and the constitution. But who are you to talk! You say we have done actions worse than you! WORSE THAN YOU! HA! What a pity that you cannot see what you have done to the people of France. Take a long look in the mirror buddy, because no one could ever be as bad as you! Your actions are those of barbaric if anybodys, but you wouldn't know that; you have never seen real pain. You have never watched your children starve, you have never had a worry in the world. Everything you wanted was granted, and everything granted was something taken from the third estate. Each time you ever gave a comman, someone died. You sir are the most barbaric of all!
