culottes

It's ironic because Quebecois French might be closer to the pre-Revolutionary King's French than the speech of the sans-culottes.

The sans-culottes didn't quite accomplish their goals(at least immediately), but Louis XVI among other elites didn't survive.

Yes, but ultimately the reign of terror killed more Sans-culottes than nobles which is the part people often leave out.

While some people certainly had this motivation, especially the sans-culottes and extremists like Marat, as a means of describing the entire revolution this framework falls far short of reality.

Which is explicitly a goal of a lot of those sans-culottes (see e.g.

The Girondins of revolutionary France were very pro free market, something that lost them a lot of support among the starving sans culottes.

If you, as a sans-culottes, understand what I'm telling you and go to hunt the dragon anyway, God bless you.

Now that golfers no longer wear knickerbockers, I guess we're all pretty much sans-culottes.

Practically the same post was written about the Sans-culottes.

These aren’t the sans-culottes of late 18th-century France.

If burglary and shoplifting is happening everywhere because we live in pre-revolutionary France and the sans-culottes are starving and stealing bread to survive, well.

The san culottes ultimately didn't get ahead.

Just look at the French Revolutions the Sans-culottes was driven by bourgeois, similarly on the other sides soldiers are peoples/"commoners" driven by other bourgeois and aristocrats.

I can't think of any good examples, except maybe for the Revolutionary French "Sans-culottes", who, as the name suggests, were _famously_ well-equipped.

Proletarian revolutions against the Bourgeois don't really happen until there IS an urban proletariat in the first place- in pre-industrial 1789, the bourgeois and the sans-culottes were grouped together socially in the "Third Estate".

The bonus days were known as the sans-culottides (meaning days of the "sans-culottes," the self-chosen name for the Revolutionaries reinforcing the difference between them and the nobility) and celbrated Republican values like Labor and Virtue.
