Why am I making a Revolutionary Starter Kit?

Being a revolutionary is difficult, oui?  And yet a small number of well-educated people organized and mobilized the starving and run-down masses of France to overthrow the monarchy and create a Republic.

And while I can't recommend their approach (I would much prefer my head still attached!) I can't argue that they were effective. And it boils down to a few important things:

1. Know your enemy's weaknesses

2. Know what you are fighting for and how to fight

3. Maintain a flow of information and communication

So I believe education is key, no? Perhaps if I were educated to be a good queen, the people of France would not have been starving. Perhaps if the revolutionaries were more educated as they went, the Republic would not have immediately fallen to a dictator. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. 

Perhaps is no good. 

But education is. So let's read books, articles, gather action items, and learn how to be revolutionaries together.

Bien à vous,

Marie Antionette
