Excerpt: He deplored the inhumanity of the workers plight; he denounced the trusts and their dominant influence on governmental politics, directing against them two discourses, one in 1838 and another in 1846; and he held that a working-class revolution was inevitable and did not hesitate to hasten the hour, promising the authorities, in July 1847, a 'revolution of scorn.' In the same year he published his Histoire des Girondins, a history of the right, or moderate, Girondins during and after the French Revolution, which earned him immense popularity with the left-wing parties.(Submitted on September 2, 2025, by Sean P.
