Nice Committee.......be careful you counter-revolutionaries...

Wow! The Committee of Public Safety is amazing. Our republic should not possess any counter-revolutionaries or this committee shall suppress its internal enemies. Girondins are just people who do not understand our nation's current need and situation. I am often confused of how they can bear to live under a forceful and unjust monarch. Radical changes are necessary for the sake of our country. In my opinion, other people with insane minds should also be executed by the national razor. Royalists like Marie Antoinette should not live in the world to interrupt and halt out progress of development. I was delighted when her head became detached to her body. The Paris Commune should be one of the most important administrative system to guide our country through our crisis. The sans-culottes are of the noblest in our country. Their radical thoughts are what I admire the most. I an pleased to see how the Paris Commune came to dominate the political scene of France. Armies are necessary to suppress counter-revolutionaries and to bring naughty cities and districts back under the control of National Convention. In the Vendee, I saw one of the most brutal scene as rebel armies were massively defeated as reflected with this quote "the road to Laval is strewn with corpses. Women, priests, monks, children, all have been put to death. I have spared nobody." I admire Louis Saint-Just adoption of Rousseau's concept of general will that any people who disagree with our changes should all be executed with no class prejudice.

Unbelievable!! Women's March to Versailles

According to history from several centuries behind, women were said to be solely domestic workers. Take a look around the world, no women are having any political rights and role. Women are born to take care of the house and their children. They are of no political use; however, an incidence seemed to be contradicting to this argument. Obviously, the king's refusal of promulgating the decrees on abolition of feudalism and the declaration of rights certainly instigated people's internal hatred to the country's present situation. People came to revolt against the king's carelessness, and in this instance, women did. On October 5, women furiously marched through the Hotel de Ville to demand for bread; however, they were not satisfied and set foot for Versailles to confront Louis XVI and the National Assembly. (The king should be nervous......) Thousands of women were of devilish and pernicious look and armed with a variety of weapons. Women's eagerness and madness can all be reflected through "detachments of women coming up from every direction, armed with broomsticks, lances, pitchforks, swords, pistols and muskets." I was very surprised of how feminine soul can be so outrageous. When they arrived Versailles, women were shouting and crying for their poverty and that their children were all starving to death due to scarce of bread. Louis then promised the raging women grain supplies for Paris thinking that this would calm their protest. Women were not satisfied, however, that this little improvement could barely improve their unbearable lives. They now demanded that the royal family return to Paris. Louis complied and the royal family was escorted back to Paris and the king also accepted National Assembly's decrees. Ironically, women certainly had its position and use in our society; however, this shall not happen again. Women should mainly and solely take care of domestic jobs and should not possess any political rights. What Olympe de Gouges said was indeed bizarre. The king should be executed. He is now a prisoner who tried to betray our beloved country and flee from his responsibilities. He is of no use but just an excessive user of our money. We need to abolish the monarchy and establish a republic!!
