Robespierre's defense of the French Revolution remains one of the
most powerful and unnerving justifications for political violence
ever written, and has extraordinary resonance in a world obsessed
with terrorism and appalled by the language of its proponents. Yet
today, the French Revolution is celebrated as the event which gave
birth to a nation built on the principles of enlightenment...So how
should a contemporary audience approach Robespierre's vindication
of revolutionary terror? Zizek takes a helter-skelter route through
these contradictions, marshalling all the breadth of analogy for
which he is famous.
