2。ElementsofCharacterPredominantinTimeofRevolution。

Theseconstraints,consistingofthelaw,morality,andtradition,arenotalwayscompletelybroken。Somesurvivetheupheavalandservetosomeextenttodamptheexplosionofdangeroussentiments。

Thisdeterminesamannerofseeing,feeling,andwillingcommontothemajorityoftheindividualsofthesamepeople;itconstitutesahereditarycustom,andnothingismorepowerfulthanthetiesofcustom。

Thisracialinfluencelimitsthevariationsofapeopleanddeterminesitsdestinywithincertainlimitsinspiteofallsuperficialchanges。

Forexample,totakeonlytheinstancesofhistory,itwouldseemthatthementalityofFrancemusthavevariedenormouslyduringasinglecentury。InafewyearsitpassedfromtheRevolutiontoCaesarism,returnedtothemonarchy,effectedanotherRevolution,andthensummonedanewCaesar。Inrealityonlytheoutsidesofthingshadchanged。

Wecannotinsistfurtherhereonthelimitsofnationalvariability,butmustnowconsidertheinfluenceofcertainaffectiveelements,whosedevelopmentduringrevolutioncontributestomodifyindividualorcollectivepersonalities。InparticularIwillmentionhatred,fear,ambition,jealousyorenvy,vanity,andenthusiasm。Weobservetheirinfluenceduringseveraloftheupheavalsofhistory,notablyduringthecourseoftheFrenchRevolution,whichwillfurnishuswithmostofourexamples。

Hatred。——Thehatredofpersons,institutions,andthingswhichanimatedthemenoftheRevolutionisoneoftheseaffectivephenomenawhicharethemorestrikingthemoreonestudiestheirpsychology。Theydetested,notonlytheirenemies,butthemembersoftheirownparty。``Ifoneweretoacceptunreservedly,’’saidarecentwriter,``thejudgmentswhichtheyexpressedofoneanother,weshouldhavetoconcludethattheywerealltraitorsandboasters,allincapableandcorrupt,allassassinsortyrants。’’Weknowwithwhathatred,scarcelyappeasedbythedeathoftheirenemies,menpersecutedtheGirondists,Dantonists,Hebertists,Robespierrists,&c。

Oneofthechiefcausesofthisfeelingresidedinthefactthatthesefurioussectaries,beingapostlesinpossessionoftheabsoluteverity,wereunable,likeallbelievers,totoleratethesightofinfidels。Amysticorsentimentalcertitudeisalwaysaccompaniedbytheneedofforcingitselfonothers,isneverconvinced,anddoesnotshrinkfromwholesaleslaughterwhenithasthepowertocommitit。

IfthehatredsthatdividedthemenoftheRevolutionhadbeenofrationalorigintheywouldnothavelastedlong,but,arisingfromaffectiveandmysticfactors,mencouldneitherforgetnorforgive。Theirsourcesbeingidenticalinthedifferentparties,theymanifestedthemselvesoneveryhandwithidenticalviolence。

Ithasbeenproved,bymeansofdocuments,thattheGirondistswerenolesssanguinarythantheMontagnards。Theywerethefirsttodeclare,withPetion,thatthevanquishedpartiesshouldperish。Theyalso,accordingtoM。Aulard,attemptedtojustifythemassacresofSeptember。TheTerrormustnotbeconsideredsimplyasameansofdefence,butasthegeneralprocessofdestructiontowhichtriumphantbelievershavealwaystreatedtheirdetestedenemies。Menwhocanputupwiththegreatestdivergenceofideascannottoleratedifferencesofbelief。

Inreligiousorpoliticalwarfarethevanquishedcanhopefornoquarter。FromSulla,whocutthethroatsoftwohundredsenatorsandfiveorsixthousandRomans,tothemenwhosuppressedtheCommune,andshotdownmorethantwentythousandaftertheirvictory,thisbloodylawhasneverfailed。Provedoverandoveragaininthepast,itwilldoubtlessbesointhefuture。

ThehatredsoftheRevolutiondidnotariseentirelyfromdivergenceofbelief。Othersentiments——envy,ambition,andself—love——alsoengenderedthem。Therivalryofindividualsaspiringtopowerledthechiefsofthevariousgroupsinsuccessiontothescaffold。

Wemustremember,moreover,thattheneedofdivisionandthehatredresultingtherefromseemtobeconstituentelementsoftheLatinmind。TheycostourGaulishancestorstheirindependence,andhadalreadystruckCaesar。

``Nocity,’’hesaid,``butwasdividedintotwofactions;nocanton,novillage,nohouseinwhichthespiritofpartydidnotbreathe。Itwasveryrarelythatayearwentbywithoutacitytakinguparmstoattackorrepulseitsneighbours。’’

Asmanhasonlyrecentlyenteredupontheageofknowledge,andhasalwayshithertobeenguidedbysentimentsandbeliefs,wemayconceivethevastimportanceofhatredasafactorofhishistory。

CommandantColin,professorattheCollegeofWar,remarksinthefollowingtermsontheimportanceofthisfeelingduringcertainwars:——

``Inwarmorethanatanyothertimethereisnobetterinspiringforcethanhatred;itwashatredthatmadeBluchervictoriousoverNapoleon。Analysethemostwonderfulmanoeuvres,themostdecisiveoperations,andiftheyarenottheworkofanexceptionalman,aFrederickoraNapoleon,youwillfindtheyareinspiredbypassionmorethanbycalculation。Whatwouldthewarof1870havebeenwithoutthehatredwhichweboretheGermans?’’

ThewritermighthaveaddedthattheintensehatredoftheJapanesefortheRussians,whohadsohumiliatedthem,mightbeclassedamongthecausesoftheirsuccess。TheRussiansoldiers,ignorantoftheveryexistenceoftheJapanese,hadnoanimosityagainstthem,whichwasoneofthereasonsoftheirfailure。

TherewasassuredlyagooddealoftalkoffraternityatthetimeoftheRevolution,andthereisevenmoreto—day。Pacificism,humanitarianism,andsolidarityhavebecomecatchwordsoftheadvancedparties,butweknowhowprofoundarethehatredsconcealedbeneaththeseterms,andwhatdangersoverhangourmodernsociety。

Fear。——Fearplaysalmostaslargeapartinrevolutionsashatred。DuringtheFrenchRevolutionthereweremanyexamplesofgreatindividualcourageandmanyexhibitionsofcollectivecowardice。

Facingthescaffold,themenoftheConventionwerealwaysbraveintheextreme;butbeforethethreatsoftherioterswhoinvadedtheAssemblytheyconstantlyexhibitedanexcessivepusillanimity,obeyingthemostabsurdinjunctions,asweshallseeifwere—readthehistoryoftherevolutionaryAssemblies。

Alltheformsoffearwereobservedatthisperiod。Oneofthemostwidespreadwasthefearofappearingmoderate。MembersoftheAssemblies,publicprosecutors,representatives``onmission,’’judgesoftherevolutionarytribunals,&c。,allsoughttoappearmoreadvancedthantheirrivals。Fearwasoneoftheprincipalelementsofthecrimescommittedatthisperiod。

IfbysomemiracleitcouldhavebeeneliminatedfromtherevolutionaryAssemblies,theirconductwouldhavebeenquiteotherthanitwas,andtheRevolutionitselfwouldhavetakenaverydifferentdirection。

Ambition,Envy,Vanity,&c。——Innormaltimestheinfluenceofthesevariousaffectiveelementsisforciblycontainedbysocialnecessities。Ambition,forinstance,isnecessarilylimitedinahierarchicalformofsociety。Althoughthesoldierdoessometimesbecomeageneral,itisonlyafteralongtermofservice。Intimeofrevolution,ontheotherhand,thereisnoneedtowait。Everyonemayreachtheupperranksalmostimmediately,sothatallambitionsareviolentlyaroused。Thehumblestmanbelieveshimselffittedforthehighestemployments,andbythisveryfacthisvanitygrowsoutofallmeasure。

Allthepassionsbeingmoreorlessaroused,includingambitionandvanity,weseethedevelopmentofjealousyandenvyofthosewhohavesucceededmorequicklythanothers。

Theeffectofjealousy,alwaysimportantintimesofrevolution,wasespeciallysoduringthegreatFrenchRevolution。Jealousyofthenobilityconstitutedoneofitsmostimportantfactors。

Themiddleclasseshadincreasedincapacityandwealth,tothepointofsurpassingthenobility。Althoughtheymingledwiththenoblesmoreandmore,theyfelt,nonetheless,thattheywereheldatadistance,andthistheykeenlyresented。Thisframeofmindhadunconsciouslymadethebourgeoisiekeensupportersofthephilosophicdoctrineofequality。

Woundedself—loveandjealousywerethusthecausesofhatredsthatwecanscarcelyconceivetoday,whenthesocialinfluenceofthenobilityissosmall。ManymembersoftheConvention——Carrier,Marat,andothers——rememberedwithangerthattheyhadonceoccupiedsubordinatepositionsintheestablishmentsofgreatnobles。Mme。Rolandwasneverabletoforgetthat,whensheandhermotherwereinvitedtothehouseofagreatladyundertheancienregime,theyhadbeensenttodineintheservants’quarters。

ThephilosopherRivarolhasverywelldescribedinthefollowingpassage,alreadycitedbyTaine,theinfluenceofwoundedself—

loveandjealousyupontherevolutionaryhatreds:——

``Itisnot,’’hewrites,``thetaxes,northelettresdecachet,noranyoftheotherabusesofauthority;itisnotthesinsoftheintendants,northelongandruinousdelaysofjustice,thathasmostangeredthenation;itistheprejudicesofthenobilityforwhichithasexhibitedthegreatesthatred。

Whatprovesthisclearlyisthefactthatitisthebourgeois,themenofletters,themenofmoney,infactallthosewhoarejealousofthenobility,whohaveraisedthepoorerinhabitantsofthecitiesagainstthem,andthepeasantsinthecountrydistricts。’’

ThisverytruestatementpartlyjustifiesthesayingofNapoleon:

``VanitymadetheRevolution;libertywasonlythepretext。’’

Enthusiasm。——TheenthusiasmofthefoundersoftheRevolutionequalledthatoftheapostlesofthefaithofMohammed。AnditwasreallyareligionthatthebourgeoisofthefirstAssemblythoughttofound。Theythoughttohavedestroyedanoldworld,andtohavebuiltanewoneuponitsruins。Neverdidillusionmoreseductivefiretheheartsofmen。Equalityandfraternity,proclaimedbythenewdogmas,weretobringthereignofeternalhappinesstoallthepeoples。Manhadbrokenforeverwithapastofbarbarityanddarkness。Theregeneratedworldwouldinfuturebeilluminatedbythelucidradianceofpurereason。Onallhandsthemostbrilliantoratoricalformulaesalutedtheexpecteddawn。

Thatthisenthusiasmwassosoonreplacedbyviolencewasduetothefactthattheawakeningwasspeedyandterrible。OnecanreadilyconceivetheindignantfurywithwhichtheapostlesoftheRevolutionattackedthedailyobstaclesopposedtotherealisationoftheirdreams。Theyhadsoughttorejectthepast,toforgettradition,tomakemanoveragain。Butthepastreappearedincessantly,andmenrefusedtochange。Thereformers,checkedintheironwardmarch,wouldnotgivein。

Theysoughttoimposebyforceadictatorshipwhichspeedilymademenregretthesystemabolished,andfinallyledtoitsreturn。

ItistoberemarkedthatalthoughtheenthusiasmofthefirstdaysdidnotlastintherevolutionaryAssemblies,itsurvivedverymuchlongerinthearmies,andconstitutedtheirchiefstrength。Totellthetruth,thearmiesoftheRevolutionwererepublicanlongbeforeFrancebecameso,andremainedrepublicanlongafterFrancehadceasedtobeso。

Thevariationsofcharacterconsideredinthischapter,beingconditionedbycertaincommonaspirationsandidenticalchangesofenvironment,finallybecameconcreteinasmallnumberoffairlyhomogeneousmentalities。Speakingonlyofthemorecharacteristic,wemayreferthemtofourtypes:theJacobin,mystic,revolutionary,andcriminalmentalities。

2。TheMysticMentality。

Leavingasideforthemomenttheinfluenceofaffective,rational,andcollectivelogic,wewilloccupyourselvessolelywiththeconsiderablepartplayedbythemysticelementswhichhaveprevailedinsomanyrevolutions,andnotablyintheFrenchRevolution。

TheprinciplesoftheRevolutionspeedilyinspiredawaveofmysticenthusiasmanalogoustothoseprovokedbythevariousreligiousbeliefswhichhadprecededit。Alltheydidwastochangetheorientationofamentalancestrywhichthecenturieshadsolidified。

SothereisnothingastonishinginthesavagezealofthemenoftheConvention。TheirmysticmentalitywasthesameasthatoftheProtestantsatthetimeoftheReformation。TheprincipalheroesoftheTerror——Couthon,Saint—Just,Robespierre,&c。——wereApostles。LikePolyeuctes,destroyingthealtarsofthefalsegodstopropagatehisfaith,theydreamedofconvertingtheglobe。Theirenthusiasmspilleditselfovertheearth。

Persuadedthattheirmagnificentformulaeweresufficienttooverturnthrones,theydidnothesitatetodeclarewaruponkings。Andasastrongfaithisalwayssuperiortoadoubtfulfaith,theyvictoriouslyfacedallEurope。

ThemysticspiritoftheleadersoftheRevolutionwasbetrayedintheleastdetailsoftheirpubliclife。Robespierre,convincedthathewassupportedbytheAlmighty,assuredhishearersinaspeechthattheSupremeBeinghad``decreedtheRepublicsincethebeginningoftime。’’InhisqualityofHighPontiffofaStatereligionhemadetheConventionvoteadecreedeclaringthat``theFrenchPeoplerecognisestheexistenceoftheSupremeBeingandtheimmortalityofthesoul。’’AtthefestivalofthisSupremeBeing,seatedonakindofthrone,hepreachedalengthysermon。

TheJacobinClub,directedbyRobespierre,finallyassumedallthefunctionsofacouncil。ThereMaximilienproclaimed``theideaofaGreatBeingwhowatchesoveroppressedinnocenceandwhopunishestriumphantcrime。’’

AllthehereticswhocriticisedtheJacobinorthodoxywereexcommunicated——thatis,weresenttotheRevolutionaryTribunal,whichtheyleftonlyforthescaffold。

ThemysticmentalityofwhichRobespierrewasthemostcelebratedrepresentativedidnotdiewithhim。MenofidenticalmentalityaretobefoundamongtheFrenchpoliticiansofto—day。Theoldreligiousbeliefsnolongerruletheirminds,buttheyarethecreaturesofpoliticalcreedswhichtheywouldverysoonforceonothers,asdidRobespierre,iftheyhadthechanceofsodoing。

ItisthereforequitenaturalthatRobespierreshouldstillhavemanyadmirers。Mindsmouldedlikehisaretobemetwithintheirthousands。Hisconceptionswerenotguillotinedwithhim。

Oldashumanity,theywillonlydisappearwiththelastbeliever。

Thismysticaspectofallrevolutionshasescapedthemajorityofthehistorians。Theywillpersistforalongtimeyetintryingtoexplainbymeansofrationallogicahostofphenomenawhichhavenothingtodowithreason。IhavealreadycitedapassagefromthehistoryofMM。LavisseandRambaud,inwhichtheReformationisexplainedas``theresultofthefreeindividualreflectionssuggestedtosimplefolkbyanextremelypiousconscience,andaboldandcourageousreason。’’

Suchmovementsarenevercomprehendedbythosewhoimaginethattheiroriginisrational。Politicalorreligious,thebeliefswhichhavemovedtheworldpossessacommonoriginandfollowthesamelaws。Theyareformed,notbythereason,butmoreoftencontrarytoreason。Buddhism,Christianity,Islamism,theReformation,sorcery,Jacobinism,socialism,spiritualism,&c。,seemverydifferentformsofbelief,buttheyhave,I

repeat,identicalmysticandaffectivebases,andobeyformsoflogicwhichhavenoaffinitywithrationallogic。Theirmightresidespreciselyinthefactthatreasonhasaslittlepowertocreatethemastotransformthem。

Themysticmentalityofourmodernpoliticalapostlesisstronglymarkedinanarticledealingwithoneofourrecentministers,whichIcitefromaleadingjournal:
