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 Marat and Danton as part of the 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.
