# François-Noël Babeuf

> He pushed the French Revolution past its own finish line — demanding not just liberty but the abolition of private property itself. Babeuf's newspaper and his Conspiracy of the Equals made him dangerous enough that the Directory sent him to the guillotine in 1797.

## Bio

François-Noël Babeuf was born on 23 November 1760 and spent the Revolutionary years writing for Le Tribun du Peuple, advocating for the poor and a popular revolt against the Directory government. He fashioned his own strand of Jacobinism — what he called Neo-Jacobinism — blending Robespierre's influence with ideas closer to the Enragés, insisting that "Society must be made to operate in such a way that it eradicates once and for all the desire of a man to become richer, or wiser, or more powerful than others." His lead role in the Conspiracy of the Equals brought the crackdown: even his Jacobin allies couldn't save him. He went to the guillotine on 27 May 1797, leaving behind a vision radical enough that John Goodwyn Barmby later called his followers the first to earn the name "communist."
