**The Babeuf Bobouviste “Conspiracy” - Manifesto of the Equals, 1796** “Babeuf's mental condition on the eve of the French Revolution is open to question. This is important because his political philosophy was beginning to take shape at this time. One disturbing indication that his seat back and tray table may not have been in their locked and upright positions involved the loss of his four-year-old daughter Sofie. She died in 1787, and her untimely death grieved him profoundly. Even Babeuf admirer and biographer lan Birchall (The Specter of Babeuf) terms his reaction "bizarre"’. >**Babeuf apparently cut the heart out of the corpse, ate part of it, and wore the rest in a locket on his chest**. It was an odd mixture of superstition and materialism, indicative of the way that Babeuf's view of the world was developing. • • • • • **Francois Babeuf** (1760-97) was a member of the Illuminati (his pseudonym was “Gracchus”) and as such his social views reflected those of Weishaupt’s. >**He formed a Masonic-like association of disciples called Babouvistes (in France) who advocated violence as a means of achieving reform**. They met at the dining hall of the Abbey and sometimes in the crypt. The location of the building, which was near the Pantheon, **led to the name of the Order that was known as the Pantheonistes.** The group at its peak had about 2,000 members. Babeuf wrote: >“In my system of Common Happiness, I desire that no individual property shall exist. The land is God’s and its fruits belong to all men in general.” One of his disciples, the Marquis de Antonelle, a former member of the Revolutionary Tribunal, wrote: >”**The state of communism is the only just, the only good one; without this state of things, no peaceful and really happy societies can exist**.” • • • • • In April, 1796, Babeuf wrote his **Manifesto of the Equals**, which was published under the title Analysis of the Doctrine of Babeuf. In it he wrote: >“No more private property in land, the land belongs to no one … the fruits of the earth belong to everyone … Vanish at last, revolting distinctions of rich and poor, of great and small, of masters and servants, of governors and governed. >**Let there be no difference between men than that of age and sex. Since all have the same needs and the same faculties, let there be only one education, one kind of food**. They content themselves with one sun and air for all; why should not the same portion and the same quality of food suffice for each of them …” Under his plan, **workers wouldn’t be paid in money, since the owning of personal property would be abolished**. Instead, payment would be made through the distribution of products. These products, stored in communal warehouses, would be equally handed out. • • • • • Another notable aspect of his plan was that **children would not be allowed to bear the name of their father, unless he was a man of great importance**. Knowing that people would never allow such a communistic system, **they never fully revealed their stated secret plans**. >Instead, their propaganda centered on “**equality among men**” and “**justice of the people**,” while they criticized the “greed” of the government. >**The working men didn’t fully understand Babeuf’s doctrines; nevertheless, they praised his ideas**. He hailed Robespierre as “the genius in whom resided true Ideas of regeneration” (p. 73). • • • • • He worked out a plan to organize all of society as a military force, **along the lines of the Greek phalanx**. All government would be destroyed by revolution; **through revolution everything returns to chaos, and out of chaos comes “a new and regenerated world**” (p. 75) [“Ordo Ab Chao” –ed]. >The names of Moses, Joshua and Jesus were invoked as forerunners of the revolutionary faith. In August, 1796, Babeuf and 45 leaders of his movement were arrested after the government found out they were making preparations to lead a revolt of the people against them. They were put on trial in a proceeding that lasted from February to May 1797. **The Illuminati was secretly directing the Babouviste movement, and Babeuf testified that he was just an agent of the conspiracy**: >”I attest they do for me too much honor in decorating me with the title of head of this affair. I declare that I had only a secondary and limited part in it … The heads and the leaders needed a director of public opinion. I was in the position to enlist this opinion.” On May 28, 1797, Babeuf was hung, and many of his followers were deported.” https://www.woolstangray.eu/illuminism-and-freemason-uprising-part-i-a-deep-dive-into-revolutionary-history-with-nesta-webster-and-james-billington/ Gracchus Babeuf and the Conspiracy of the Equals 1797 - Analysis of the Doctrine of Babeuf https://www.marxists.org/history/france/revolution/conspiracy-equals/1797/placard.htm Filippo Buonarroti - Grakh Babeuf and the conspiracy of equals https://saint-juste.narod.ru/Babeuf1.html
