An essay from the Prison Notebooks argues that Mazzini's Action Party never became like this group because it failed to impose its will on the Bourgeoisie. This group provides the title of a book about the "destruction of European feudalism" led by a man who exemplified the ideals of Pericles, Jefferson, and Marx - despite his lack of education - in leading the "only successful slave rebellion in history." Along with that book by (*) C. L. R. James, this name was applied to a faction whose most extreme members sat in the higher seats of the assembly, leading them to be known as "The Mountain." That faction, which was toppled in the Thermidorian Reaction, set up the Committee of Public Safety. For 10 points, name this faction in the French Revolution led by Maximilien Robespierre, who defeated the moderate Girondins.
