Re: French revolution (OT reply) (was intelijammer)
Hello Doug,
>Is this French?
Quite likely.
>but is this year 225? Dated from when?
Given the above, I"d say it"s the French Republican (aka Revolutionary)
Calendar.
Revolution was 1789 (13 years after americans revolted for the same reasons).
2017-1789=228
The revolution was under the slogan freedom - equality - solidarity
The end of the revolution was 1792, when "equality" was dropped.
So 225 is the number of years of the suppression of the revolution.
This is what reactionaries will celebrate, but not for long.
Not for long :)
