Napoleons First Meeting With Junot

Napoleon’s first meeting with Junot 😢💘

I don’t really like how it turned out, but I also don’t care anymore so I went with watercolour 😖 Please please please ignore my horrible handwriting. Also, I’m still not sure what Junot actually looks like. What’s his hair colour or eye colour? I guess he powdered his hair or something

Anyways, I reallyyyy don’t wanna go running today. I’m so tired, I could sleep and sleep and sleep forever! 😮‍💨

We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters—then we are for it! And we are not in the least disturbed by the howls of those people who consciously or unconsciously side with the bourgeoisie, or who are so frightened by them, so oppressed by their rule, that they have been flung into consternation at the sight of this unprecedentedly acute class struggle, have burst into tears, forgotten all their premises and demand that we perform the impossible, that we socialists achieve complete victory without fighting against the exploiters and without suppressing their resistance. -V. I. Lenin, 1918

Some random pieces 🥺 I like how General Junot looks much better in the sketch, more unhinged I guess. Why do sketches always look better than finished pieces?? 😣🙏

"Robespierre and the Cult of the Supreme Being" by Albert Mathiez.

Robespierre’s physiognomy has been so disfigured for the past twenty years by historians that to speak today of the Incorruptible’s religious ideas may seem to be attempting the impossible.

            Robespierre, it is proclaimed, is narrow-minded, a man of the ancien régime, a coldly ambitious man who wanted to reign over France by imposing upon it, by Terror, a false copy of Catholicism, deism established as State religion.

            I cannot consider studying, texts and proofs in hand, all of Robespierre’s politics regarding religion. It will suffice me to take an example, to examine the exact role Robespierre played in the establishment of the Religion of the Supreme Being since this seems to be the essential test used by all his detractors.
