Opposed to the middle-class degeneration of the revolution. The Conspiracy of Equals included Buonarroti, Sylvain Maréchal, Jacques Roux, and Jean Varlet, among others. Babeuf and 30 others were executed, but Varlet escaped and published "Explosion," one of the first anarchist proclamations, declaring "Government and revolution are incompatible."
