Enragé

[Hosseinus]

"Enragé", literally means madman, in this case, as some conservatives would state it, "a rabid socialist." Peter Weiss, in his powerful drama Marat/Sade, presented their leading spokesman, Jacques Roux, in a straitjacket, shouting and gesticulating like a mad man. Weiss has Roux demand "granaries of plenty" to be opened for the needy, the nationalization of workshops and factories, the establishment of schools in the empty churches, and an end to the war. Obviously only a madman would insist on feeding the hungry, opening schools, and ending war.
