Anarchy For The Bourgeoise
This of course, should have been posted yesterday but sumfink went wrong with the posting.
Feb 5th, 1894 - August Vaillant, trend setting, bomb throwing, self harming, ultimately unsuccessful French Anarchist is sent to the guillotine.
The preceding December, the young Vaillant went from impoverished obscurity to national bogeyman by hurling a bomb into the Chamber of Deputies.
“Mort à la société bourgeoise! Vive l’anarchie!”
Vaillant’s dying sentiment was taken up by Emile Henry, who bombed a Paris cafe the next week, and Sante Geronimo Caserio, an Italian immigrant who assassinated French President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot four months later.This bomb’s symbolic effect greatly exceeded its injury to life and limb — Vaillant said he had not been intending to kill, and in fact he did not. (Vaillant himself was among the injuries. His nose was blown off.)
Just found this - Decollete, severed heads gallery.
