-
because here you have at--in a cabinet meeting,
-
you have a Socialist minister who's sitting at the same table
-
with one of the butchers of the Commune,
-
with a former general who's the Minister of War.
-
And, so, they said, "well, there you go.
-
If you believe in reformist politics what you end up doing is--
-
talk about propping up your bourgeois republic--
-
you're sitting next to one of the butchers of the Paris Commune.
-
There's your revolution."
-
So, this increases the tension;
-
but, in the end the two parties unify,
-
though they can't cover over these big differences, in 1905.
