Don Curren 🇨🇦🇺🇦“So the #Revolution of 1688-9 – like the #FrenchRevolution, and the #MexicanRevolution, and the #RussianRevolution – was a competition between two groups who thought that the polity had to be radically transformed” fivebooks.com/best-books/r...
The Glorious Revolution
The Glorious Revolution
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #FédonRebellion began in #Grenada on #ThisDayInHistory in 1795. Formerly a French colony, Britain took it in 1762. The revolt was both a #SlaveRebellion and a front in the #FrenchRevolution. Fédon's forces burnt the plantations but Britain killed 7000 slaves to retake it.
דער קערפער פֿון השם"[...] Democritus, who laughs at the world, and Heraclitus, who weeps over it.
The story of the #Jews tends to be told in the Heraclitan mode.
There is a name for this tendency: it is the ‘lachrymose conception of #Jewish #history’. This was the coinage of the #historian #SaloBaron, and intended in a pejorative way: #Baron spent his career criticising an earlier generation of #scholars for painting such a gloomy picture of #Jewishhistory. The #FrenchRevolution, #HeinrichGraetz had said, was a ‘judgement which in one day atoned for the sins of a thousand years’; the #emancipation of the Jews that followed in its wake marked the ‘dawn after their long slavery among the nations of #Europe’. Baron’s 1928 essay, ‘Ghetto and Emancipation’, called for a ‘break with the lachrymose theory of pre-Revolutionary woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth’. The historic truth, in his view, was that emancipation wasn’t all good, and the ghetto wasn’t all bad."

In another act of revolutionary #DirectAction, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1792 the #SansCulottes attacked shops in Paris, forcing merchants to reduce prices so the goods could be afforded by the #WorkingClass. Their wing of the #FrenchRevolution had perhaps the most radical demands.
