Republicanism

Last week I mentioned that most of France thought the Revolution was over as the Constituent Assembly settled down to write a constitution for France but I also said a few weeks ago that the genie had been let out of the bottle, well, the bourgeoisie were still struggling to get the lid back on that bottle with the genie safely inside. And they were to fail. To go back to how I ended things last week, what it all goes to show, again something we see so much today, is that as more people get politicised, they splinter into different factions and head in different directions and it’s so much harder to regain control.
