Maximilien Robespierre / 罗伯斯庇尔

Maximilien Robespierre / 罗伯斯庇尔 appears in 125. 马拉之死:卑鄙的暗杀,或正义的处决? as one of the revolutionary leaders who help the episode explain how virtue language can harden into terror. He is grouped with [[JeanPaulMarat|Marat]] and [[GeorgesDanton|Danton]] as part of the [[JacobinClub|Jacobin]] radical leadership cluster.

The source emphasizes Robespierre’s classical self-fashioning, moral vocabulary, and political romanticism. By presenting revolutionary politics as a struggle of virtue against enemies, he helps make Revolutionary Virtue Politics / 革命美德政治 and Revolutionary Terror Politics / 革命恐怖政治 mutually reinforcing.

Robespierre also links this episode to Post-Victory Oppression Risk / 胜利后的压迫风险. The danger is that a successful revolutionary faction may mistake victory, purity, and public passion for a permanent right to punish.
