“Vous ne paraissez réunir autour de vous que des républicains, titre banal et fort équivoque : donc vous ne prêchez que la république quelconque. Nous, nous rassemblons tous les démocrates et les plébéiens, dénominations qui, sans doute, présentent un sens plus positif : nos dogmes sont la démocratie pure, l’égalité
sans tâche et sans réserve.”
Gracchus Babeuf, Le Manifeste des Plébéiens

“Peuple ! réveille-toi à l’espérance, cesse de rester engourdi et plongé dans le découragement... Épanouis-toi à la vue d’un futur avenir heureux.”
Gracchus Babeuf, Le Manifeste des Plébéiens

“Plus de propriété individuelle des terres, la terre n'est à personne. Nous réclamons, nous voulons la jouissance communale des fruits de la terre : les fruits sont à tout le monde.”
Gracchus Babeuf
