Maximilien Robespierre

Dedicated revolutionary. Freedom fighter for Europe. Resistor of oppression. You cannot have virtue without fear 😈

Oct 14, 1793: Marie Antoinette has been under #imprisonment for months now, but there looks to soon be a trial to take place. She'll be accused of #treason for associating with the #enemies, along with the 1789 Diamond Necklace Affair, and for sexually abusing her son.

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Sep 29, 1792: Peasants, we've answered your pleas pertaining to impoverishing prices... So we released the Law of General Maximum! I hope this #compromise is enough to satisfy your revolutionary doubts? Either that or the guillotine, you can decide. #Bargain #Deals #Bread

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Sep 21, 1792: The Convention and I have decided that all women who affiliate themselves as #revolutionaries must wear a tri-colored insignia- a great way to #inspire radicalization! Definitely doesn't share any similarities to other fascist emblems that the world has also seen...

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

May 31, 1793: Calling a Rise to Insurrection! Passing a decree to kill 29 of the traitors who wanted to restore the throne... all of them are leaders of the Girondins and Dumouriez’s accomplices🤪 #riseup #takingwins #treason

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

May 26, 1793: Frankly, I'm highly disappointed in the Emigres Parisians, for supporting acts of #treason with General Charles Dumouriez's decisions to defect to Austria. Our country is now #torn between Parisians wishing to restore monarchy and Sans-Culottes. Thanks guys 🙄

Jan 21, 1793: We did it everyone- the King has been executed!! Long live Robespierre and the Montagnards. Those Girondins will never hear the end of it from our party LOL #victory #domination

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Dec 3, 1792: Currently speaking on the #importance of the King's death, so we can ensure his reign can never be restored. I've spoken 11 times and wrote the journal, Les Lettres à ses commettants, so interested revolutionaries can stay informed. Rallies have been stirrung up!! 🤩

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Dec 1792: The pathetic Girondins have been accusing me of running the National Convention as a dictatorship! How sad is it that their only defense against our powerful party is to call me such an undignified name? #petty #democracy #radicalism

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Sept 5, 1792: I'm terribly #disappointed with the uprisings peasants have taken in the September Massacres. This type of #mobviolence is unacceptable! How #shameful of #humanity to resort to such ways. -Oh what was that? I've been voted to head the National Convention? Wonderful!

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Aug 10, 1792: Fighting is breaking out in the Tuileries Palace. I shall have no contribution to such barbarous attacks. Meanwhile, my work, Les Piques, brought me a nomination to the insurrectional Commune:) The Jacobins will rise along with my power!! #RepublicanParty #power

@heyomariecheck France isn’t your home, you Austrian degenerate, get off the throne or it’s off with your head!

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

@MarieTheQWEEN You’re imprisoned how could you kill me?

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

@genericpeaseant Better catch that girl with a guillotine round her neck too 😵

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

July 27, 1794:Update- I know I cannot escape my demise from the very traitors who pledged their lives towards revolution. So I shot myself in the jaw, but that didn’t work. I can’t talk now, but I think they’ve finally decided to forever silence me in every other way.#loveyall 😔

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Jan 1, 1794: New year, new list of people to decapitate! And it could be any one if you “revolutionaries” that are here with me today... wait what are you doing?? Wait WAIT!! LET GO OF ME OR THE REVOLUTION WILL DIE WITH ME #MARTYRDOM #IWILLLIVEON #NODEFEAT #RepublicanParty

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

Oct 15, 1793: I think it’s time Madame Deficit pays for her crimes... as well as the scandal between her and her son 😱 The gentlemen and I all voted that she’s condemned to death. She may have been born a monarch, but may she be equal in her death! #queen #equality #ForThePeople

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

October 5, 1793: The traitors of the nation might say that today is October 5, but the real ones know it’s the fourteenth day of Vendémiaire, year II. Just passed the French Republican Calendar! #ForgetOldRegime #ViveLaFrance #Fraternity

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

September 5, 1793: Order! Order! Order in the court! @johnbercow1 has nothing on my Order of the Day. What’s the agenda? Oh just to send 40,000 lives to the guillotine from now up until 1794 🤪 #resistance #freedomfighter

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

July 17, 1793: My #condolences go to #dedicated @jnplmarat who died a #martyr. He was extraordinarily beneficial to our party in giving names of enemies to be #executed. The Revolutionary Tribunal ruled his murderer to be guillotined on Place de la Révolution. Rest In Peace ❤️

[Maximilien Robespierre @mxmRobespierre]

June 1, 1793: Yours truly is now leader of the Committee of Public Safety 😇 I shall strive to end slavery, promote religious tolerance, and of course-strike fear among the populous to display my dominion over France in a grievous, iron fist!!! #brutality #republic #freedom #slay
