Me and Antoine Leaument at the National Assembly. Apparently he and the NUPES are trying to vote to overthrow the government tonight (well "to make the government fall," he said, cause the prime minister abused his power and they're not happy about it). Wish them luck!

Louis Boyard and Antoine Leaument are going à bit too far 😭
Louis Boyard using “only one hero, the people” which is a quote linked to the protests of Algerians on December 1960 against French colonialism. Antoine Leaument saying “let’s retake the Bastille”.
These two are looking for problems.
(I’m enjoying it and they’ve both been good guys but they are still painfully white… Leaument calling for a reclaiming of the French flag and saying it was originally an anti racist symbol is painfully white because the majority if not all of the people targeted by racism in France are the children of the colonized and for us the French flag is symbol of white supremacy and colonialism. Boyard using “one hero, the people” which is a symbol of the anti colonialism struggle against France when his party is calling for equal rights and autonomy for the colonized in Kanaky without calling for proper liberation is also painfully white. They are allies but that’s all they are and all they will ever be.)

@ french mutuals, what do you think about Antoine Leaument as a politician? Is he worthy of being called "petit robespierre"?

Put glasses on Robespierre with beard and he'll looks like Antoine Leaument.
Saint-just and Robespierre if they had beards (I am so sorry)

Antoine Leaument invited me to visit the French national assembly with him today! They had a temporary exhibit there with what I think is the original record of the proclamation of the first republic? Collot got credit, lol
Also there was a medal worn by the original deputes and a surviving signed oath

I agree with @mali-umkin.
I have an issue with the reaction of Paul Chopelin and Jean-Clément Martin. It's good to present historical facts, but when I'm looking to the tweetstroms from Mathilde Larrere, historian specialized in revolutionary movements, their speech seem to be an answer that lacks analysis of current events.
Larrere often analyzes modern social movements, she understands that the revolution still feeds the collective imagination today. She has shown this many time in particular with the Yellow Vests movement.
By the way, this is not the first time that Chopelin criticizes the use of Robespierre by the left. He did the same thing last July 14th when Robespierre was trending on Twitter. But I think that Chopelin and Martin, in their fed up with the lack of historical rigor of politicians, have lacked this same scientific rigor. They failed or unwilling to elevate the debate. They only presents facts.
Here are some things they could have talked about :
The figure of Robespierre was already controversial when he was still alive. He was so adored and so hated that at the end of his life he was beaten by his own legend. Could suggest consulting Leuwers' work, their collegue, on the Robespierre myth.
Using figures in politics has always existed and served a political purpose, even during the revolution. Jacques Roux presented himself as 'Marat's heir', to prove his closeness with the sans-culottes, even if they didn't have the same political opinions about economy.
To the left, revolution and Robespierre are spoils of war and rightful examples. Babeuf inspired communism. Lenin was inspired by the Jacobin governance but remains very critical because it was too bourgeois. Louise Michel loves Saint-Just.
If politicians lacks of rigor, historians are NEVER neutral. The historiography of the revolution proves it. Mathiez and Aulard argued because one defended Danton while the other defended Robespierre. Does a bias prevent a rigorous work ? Mathiez' analysis of Danton's accounts to prove that he was corrupt shows it doesn't.
Highlight the problem of the follow-up of the school institutions in relation to the progress of the historical works. We got stuck in 1989, because it was the last time that there were historiographical debates on television accessible to the general public. There was a cultural battle between Michel Vovelle and François Furet during the bicentenary. Today, television is slowly starting to give more decent documentaries (I'm talking about the documentary where the revolutionaries are interviewed) but it still far behind. On the internet, we can congratulate 'Nota Bene' and 'Histony' for having done a work respecting at best the recent works.
I would end with the question that neither of them asks : why does the French left still use Robespierre today ?
=> Because the end of the Soviet bloc and socialists making liberal politics destroyed the collective imagination of the left. The USSR put an end to the possibility of an alternative society with communism. Capitalism won. And the french socialist party, allying itself with liberalism, reinforced the idea there was no alternative to capitalism. If the left wants to win, it must rebuild an imaginary that speaks to all, even to minorities.
This is what Antoine Leaument is trying to do. It's to say "we, our France, we want it to be anti-colonial, born from the constitution of 1793, this France that abolished slavery".
In her latest interview with Dany and Raz, Houria Bouteldja, spokeswoman for the Indigenous of the Republic, thinks using French revolution and Robespierre inside the collective imagination of the left is a good start (1:14:47-1:15:52).
And what better start to use the one who once said "Let's perish our colonies !" ? 😏
Apparently there’s controversy in France over 3 deputies from NUPES going to Arras to pay tribute to Robespierre on 9 Thermidor

Reaction from Macron’s Minister of Transport:

And this…what the hell is this

And then a Frev historian made this whole thread where he was like “yeah Robespierre has been unfairly slandered and said some good things but he was also a conspiracy theorist”:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To be very fair to him the rest of his thread is pretty firmly neutral on Robespierre but unfortunately most people who read the thread were just like YEAH YOU TELL THEM!!! ROBESPIERRE WAS TERRIBLE!!!
anyway french politics is a whole ass mess it seems

Looks like he's fulfilling a childhood dream.
Once, in the Assembly, he was insulted as 'Robespierre' by a republican. He took it as a compliment.
