When the best fandom reunites to celebrate a non-official holiday based on a revolution mentioned in a 200-year-old novel

i think everything's going to go to plan and the people are gonna rise. they'll all succeed this time

the thing is, you don't realize how right you are.

the concept of chekov's revolution- an insurrection that fails, but is used as inspiration for a later revolt. we see 1789 inspire 1830 inspire 1832 inspire 1848 inspire 1871 inspire 1917 on and on and on.

the people rose, every time. not all of them. not always enough. sometimes the violence they faced was too much to overcome.

and I don't even know where I was going with this but there is value in every failure because it moves the needle one step closer to success. you could say every one of these revolutions failed in one way or another. but we keep fighting, because resistance to oppression is one of the things that make us human. people fought. people died, people lived, people tried, people rose.

every time we say this, and every time we are right in saying it. it just takes a little while to see clearly.

I love how Les Mis (the original novel) is so fundamentally hopeful about the power of rebellion and activism. So many adaptations/retellings of Les Mis imply its message is kinda shallow and defeatist— something about how rebellion never changes anything/always puts you back right where you began, so it’s wiser to never stand against the government. But that’s not the novel at all.

The original novel, which Hugo wrote as a barely-veiled call to action against the government of Napoleon III, is so convinced of the value of resistance against tyranny. The message is not that resistance is doomed to fail— it is that resistance to an unjust government is imperative, and it will be a moral victory even if the resistance is crushed.

The June rebellion in Les mis May have been repressed, and it may have failed in its goal of overthrowing the monarchy— but later rebellions did eventually succeed. France doesn’t have a monarchy anymore. A democracy is now in place, the way the rebels of 1832 would’ve wanted. There’s an undercurrent of hope throughout Les Mis— it’s not a story about how rebellion/resistance is futile, it’s a story about how it’s necessary, and about how positive social change is not only possible but also inevitable.
