Chapter 57 Jacobinism (II)

"Your Highness, please continue to talk." Li Da said slowly, his face becoming more and more serious.

"Every policy of the Jacobins is based on the commanding heights of morality, using eloquent language and threats of violence to gain support and incite the public's fanaticism. Saint Just proposed that in the revolution, dictators need to save the country, but at the same time, guardians need to save morality. For existing adults, the Jacobins, especially Robespierre, implemented huge plans, and created the Republican calendar, promoted the country's major modification of place names, language improvement, and even the great names of people.

Improvement, literature and public opinion have been completely popularized and vulgarized, and created a series of major festivals, which have repeatedly inspired the ideal spirit of the people, one day at a big celebration and one day at a small celebration. The theme of the festival was personally inquired by Robespierre. Festival activities are usually designed as mass parades of the people, using this artificially created grand scene to intoxicate the people, making them obsessed with the grand and glory of the revolution, and thus making them fall in love with the revolution itself rather than the real purpose of the revolution.”

"This is not anesthesia, but educating the masses to maintain the enthusiasm for revolution." Vasiliev interjected, "The most important thing about revolution is persistence. Because revolution tests human nature, it is to allow people to continue to grow in revolution, overcome their inner defects, and become a true revolutionist with firm will, from spontaneous to self-consciousness."

Zheng Yu's voice continued to echo in the room.

"The daily life of people is completely alienated, and all the lives of the French have become 'revolutionary'. The name of a person has changed from Pierre to Mara, either free or equal. All furniture and objects are full of slogans, 'Die for the country, supreme glory', 'Only noble of the soul, no noble class'. On the walls of each family, no matter how barely the family is, there must be large revolutionary posters, and plaster statues of revolutionary martyrs in the shrine. Everyone wears a little Red Riding Hood and wooden shoes, busy participating in various revolutionary activities, and even the avatars of playing cards have been replaced with revolutionary figures. Going to the guillotine to kill people, it is called the 'red mass'. While watching the murder performance, women knit sweaters casually and count one, two, three, and four in their mouths."

"The power of revolution can only be better felt and recognized by the masses through such intuitive forms." Vasiliev interjected, "This is the greatness of revolution, which can make the people love and worship from the bottom of their hearts."

"From the heart?" Zheng Yu sneered, "This practice is nothing more than a psychological suggestion, which makes the people gradually believe that revolution is life, revolution is everywhere, and revolution is everything, and ultimately turns all the people into slaves of revolution. The Jacobins and all their enemies quote Rousseau's authority as a reason. In authoritative language quotations, people lose their initiative in their thinking, become slaves of authoritative language, and lose their freedom of thought and language. Hugo sighs: "From the mouth of a person, this is a person's mouth.

All the lava fired from a crater devoured all the happiness of mankind most fiercely.’ During the Jacobin reign, the people rushed into the National Assembly again and again, burning books in large quantities. A former bishop really felt sorry for the destruction of these cultural fine products, asking the parliamentary patriots what power to burn these things that were scattered from their neighbors’ homes? And the Jacobins calmly replied: ‘It burns, and we still have books written by the great republicans, such as Rousseau.’”

"In this way, through various measures, the originally free people became domestic animals raised and trained under tyranny. At that time, the Paris newspaper said proudly: "People are just the shape of the government. Under a democratic system, in such a pure air, in such a beautiful government, the mother gave birth to her child without any pain in childbirth." Zheng Yu continued, "In the context of this highly moralized and stylized language, the political rules have completely evolved into Manichaeism-like blackness.

With White: Light and darkness cannot coexist, justice and evil cannot compatible. Political struggles are transformed into cruel religious struggles in the enthusiasm of religion, and moral ideals reveal bloodthirsty madness. Mara is one of the most extreme representatives. He arranged for people to come to the stage every day to shout: "The conspirators must be eliminated!" He believed that, "Truth, justice, poverty, and morality are on our side. With these weapons, the Jacobins can soon say this: Once we arrive, they no longer exist."

It was the violence of this language that constantly incited the frenzy of the people, and actually destroyed the French declaration of human rights, dragging the country into a complete tyranny. The unbearable republican girl Charlotte Cordet assassinated Mara and uttered generously in court, 'I killed one person to save a hundred thousand people, I killed a great evil man to save innocent people, and a beast to make my country peaceful', while Mara's supporters slandered her as a royalist, hang Mara's heart in the Jacobin Club,
