Changes

The Reign of Terror played a huge role in the formation of Communism, directly inspiring its founder, [[Karl Marx]], in planning it. In correspondences with Frederick Engels, he stated regarding how Communism was to be implemented: “There is only one way of shortening, simplifying, and concentrating the bloodthirsty death-throes of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new--revolutionary terror. . . . [...] Once we are at the helm, we shall be obliged to reenact the year 1793. [...] We are pitiless and we ask no pity from you. When our time comes, we shall not conceal terrorism with hypocritical phrases. . . The vengeance of the people will break forth with such ferocity that not even the year 1793 enables us to envisage it. . . .”<ref>https://www.facebook.com/373757305985421/photos/a.373910375970114.102939.373757305985421/819295658098248/?type=1</ref>

In addition, several members of the left, including [[Vladimir Lenin]], utilized iconography from the Reign of Terror for their aims, such as Monumental Propaganda which was directly derived from notable figures of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror. Likewise, [[Jean-Paul Sartre]], when voicing support for using the death penalty to "class enemies", specifically cited the Reign of Terror and claimed it "didn't kill enough people."
