La génération communiste de 1840 et la mémoire de Gracchus Babeuf

Alain Maillard, The Communist Generation of 1840 and the Memory of Gracchus Babeuf The emergence of a communist movement in 1840 is in part linked to the generational situation of neo-babeufist theorists of the time. The intervention of Buonarroti, the executor of Babeuf's legacy, was decisive during their years of intellectual and political formation. As young romantic revolutionaries, they learned that regeneration must be the work of their generation. But the work of memory does not only allow an orientation in time, it helps the young generation to define its identity in political space as it differentiates itself from competing forces. In this way the conflict between Cabet and the neo-babeufists was a generational conflict
