"Social protection is due only to peaceful citizens; there are no citizens in the Republic but the republicans.
The royalists, the conspirators (traitors) are, in its eyes, only strangels or, rather, enemies...We must smother
(strangle) the internal and external enemies of the Republic or perish..."
Maximilien de Robespierre, Report on the Principles of Public Morality, speech to the National Convention,
