The History of the Neo Jacobin Movement

High point of the neo jacobin ascendancy came in july 17 99, when the councils passed the law hostages. The law said that if the government declared a department disturbed by domestic unrest, that family members of the men deemed responsible could be arrested and held as hostages. Those families would also be liable for any damages caused by civil unrest. So this is all starting to look like we are, in fact, going back to the left winged jacobin nationalism of 17 93.
