Episode notes

Democrats are really concerned because what they see is one, police are using word of this conspiracies and excuse to harass and detain old Democrats like themselves. So they start posing questions about how could Drew A be part of this conspiracy? And they point to evidence like this torn up letter from Bebof to Drew A. Antonell says, I like, this is not a realistic project. Or even harsher mocking Babboof quote that Babboof knows nothing and has in fact never known anything is obvious.

Featuring Laura Mason on her book The Last Revolutionaries: The Conspiracy Trial of Gracchus Babeuf and the Equals. Mason discusses Babeuf's call to abolish property, his radically egalitarian conspiracy against the Directory government, and the end of the French Revolution. How a centrist government turned its back on popular democracy, presided over growing inequality and working-class poverty, and abetted the rise of the reactionary right that would ultimately overthrow it.
