Blanqui, Auguste |
Also found in: Hutchinson | 0.03 sec. |
Blanqui, (Louis–) Auguste(born Feb. 1, 1805, Puget-Théniers, France—died Jan. 1, 1881, Paris) French socialist and revolutionary. A legendary martyr-figure of French radicalism, Blanqui believed that there could be no socialist transformation of society without a temporary dictatorship that would eradicate the old order. His activities, including the formation of various secret societies, caused him to be imprisoned various times for a total of more than 33 years. His disciples, the Blanquists, played an important role in the history of the workers' movement even after his death. How to thank TFD for its existence?
