Babouvism
Definition
A radical political and social doctrine formulated during the French Revolution by François-Noël 'Gracchus' Babeuf, advocating for the abolition of private property, the establishment of a community of goods, and absolute equality among citizens through a revolutionary dictatorship. This movement is considered by historians to be an early, pre-Marxist form of utopian communism and an inspiration for 19th-century leftist insurrectionary tactics.
