So The Tragic Nature Of The Revolution Is Not Only That Thermidor Is Logical, Not Only That It Marks
So the tragic nature of the revolution is not only that Thermidor is logical, not only that it marks the end of a possibility for change, but that it is the true establishment of the bourgeoisie as the new existing political force. Not because it is "efficient" or "better," but because of its tepidness, fear, and lack of permeable institutions. We (like the rest of the great thinkers) are tragic heirs of the Thermidorians.
I do not lose hope that as humanity we can illuminate the path again and be guided with certainty, but a suffocating reality is that for this to happen, for the establishment of a system without precedents (like the S.J. institutions) to finally exist, the bourgeois order must self-destruct in a way that leaves nothing but air.
Only two things can happen from there:
the first and most positive, that we find the right path and create a new system for the improvement of humanity, that it flows and does not stagnate and rot.
Or the second and less positive, our extinction. That we are unable to jump over that wall, and we remain like the trace of a possible great civilization.
The project of institutions was colossal and ambitious, not because it was incongruous (quite the opposite), but because it started from a generated nothing, did not aspire to the nascent state of English capitalism, nor to Rousseauist liberalism as it has been interpreted since Hegel. Or to the already old ruins of Sparta (although he uses them as inspiration, it is actually a demonstration of how what seems eternal, if it is paralyzed, dies and rots) It was something truly unprecedented.
Saint Just has not been surpassed because it cannot be, but because we are paralyzed by political rot and personal interest. That's why persuasive men succeed in that corruption.

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?
If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.
These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.
My family needs urgent help.
Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.
