Sinopsis

In the annals of history, few periods are as tumultuous and transformative as the Jacobin Republic in France. This era, spanning from 1792 to 1794, witnessed the rise and fall of the radical Jacobin faction, their reign of terror, and the ultimate collapse of their utopian vision.

This book delves into the heart of this extraordinary chapter in French history, exploring the complex interplay of ideals, power, and violence that defined the Jacobin Republic. It examines the factors that led to the rise of the Jacobins, their radical ideology, and their ambitious attempts to reshape French society according to their vision of virtue, equality, and popular sovereignty.

Through vivid storytelling and rigorous historical analysis, the book brings to life the key figures of the Jacobin Republic, from the charismatic Maximilien Robespierre to the fiery Jean-Paul Marat and the pragmatic Georges Danton. It sheds light on their motivations, their struggles, and the choices they made in the face of immense challenges and uncertainty.

The book also explores the broader context of the French Revolution, tracing the roots of discontent that fueled the uprising against the monarchy and the privileged classes. It examines the social, economic, and political factors that shaped the Jacobin Republic, as well as the impact of the Reign of Terror on French society and culture.

Furthermore, the book assesses the legacy of the Jacobin Republic, both in terms of its immediate consequences and its long-term impact on French history and beyond. It considers the ways in which the Jacobins' ideals and policies continue to resonate in contemporary debates about democracy, social justice, and the limits of political power.

**The Jacobin Revolt** is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fascinating and consequential periods in modern history. It offers a fresh perspective on the Jacobin Republic, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of this tumultuous era and to reflect on its enduring relevance to the present day.

    For 30 years, much of the West looked on with disdain as the Bolsheviks took power in Russia and created and consolidated the Soviet Union. As bad as Vladimir Lenin seemed in the early 20th century, Joseph Stalin was so much worse that Churchill later remarked of Lenin, “Their worst misfortune was his birth... their next worst his death.” Before World War II, Stalin consolidated his position by frequently purging party leaders (most famously Leon Trotsky) and Red Army leaders, executing hundreds of thousands of people at the least. And in one of history’s greatest textbook examples of the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Stalin’s Soviet Union allied with Britain and the United States to defeat Hitler in Europe during World War II.  
    	Stalin ruled with an iron fist for nearly 30 years before his death in 1953, which may or may not have been murder, just as Stalin was preparing to conduct another purge. With his death, Soviet strongman and long-time Stalinist Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), who had managed to stay a step ahead of Stalin’s purges if only because he participated in them, became the Soviet premier. Meanwhile, little is remembered in the public imagination about Brezhnev in comparison to Mikhail Gorbachev, Vladimir Lenin, or Joseph Stalin, despite the fact Brezhnev ruled the USSR from 1964-1982, longer than any Soviet leader other than Stalin.  
    	After going through three elderly leaders in three years, Mikhail Gorbachev was chosen as the new General Secretary at the relatively youg age of 54 in March 1985. Gorbachev hoped to build the Soviet economy to relieve the persistent shortages of consumer goods it faced, which were caused by enormous military spending of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev tried to introduce some economic reforms, but they were blocked by communist hardliners. Gorbachev then came to the belief that the Soviet economy could not improved without political reform as well.

    Nazi party and the occultism

    Occult figures undoubtedly played a significant role in the formation of the NSDAP, but it is equally obvious that leading Nazis later denounced and persecuted occult groups. Occult "true believers" in the party ranks were frequently marginalized and persecuted as the Nazi Party gained prominence and power after 1919. 
    In any case, a surprising number of people in the Third Reich were open to occult beliefs and practices, including senior figures like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo. 
    Without a widespread propensity for paranormal thinking, which Hitler and the Nazi Party rushed to capitalize on and was exacerbated by military defeat and social crisis, the Third Reich would have been highly improbable. The National Socialist movement was not the first to use religious sentiment for political gain. However, Hitler's NSDAP was far more successful than other parties in appealing to a generation traumatized by war, violence, and sociopolitical upheaval by appealing to a supernatural imagination.

  • The Mere Exposure Effect - Developing Preferences due to Repeated Exposure - cover

    The Mere Exposure Effect -...

    The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness. 
    First identified by psychologist Robert Zajonc in the 1960s, the Mere Exposure Effect has become a cornerstone of psychological research, illustrating the powerful impact that repeated exposure can have on human preferences. Zajonc’s studies showed that individuals tend to rate unfamiliar stimuli more favorably after repeated presentations, even when they are not consciously aware of the exposure. His work demonstrated that this preference for familiar stimuli occurs across various domains, from simple shapes to more complex social contexts. 
    The Mere Exposure Effect is often seen in everyday life. For example, we might find ourselves gravitating toward a particular song after hearing it multiple times on the radio, even if we initially didn’t like it. Similarly, we may develop stronger connections to people we encounter frequently, whether in our personal lives or in the workplace. This effect also plays a crucial role in the success of advertising campaigns, where repeated exposure to a brand or product can significantly influence consumer behavior, often leading to a preference for those products.
