order goes : Artist - Album - Song pick

playlist link for people who don't wanna use the code

I will say that although I gave albums too some of them are mostly just had 1 or 2 songs that I felt fit him so I'm not sure about some of them, but I think that Okeeblow, Nothing Happens, Beneath The Toxic Jungle, and Murder Party fit his vibes :) I also think alot of Depeche mode fits him too

also some of the song picks aren't from the same albums I think fit the characters

Gracchus Babeuf's opinion on the storming of the Bastille and the murder of Foulon. Letter he sent to his wife:

"Mr. Foulon was arrested yesterday, taken to the City Hall, and hanged as he was descending from it. His body was dragged through the streets of Paris, then torn into pieces, and his head, carried on the end of a pike, was taken to the Faubourg Saint-Martin. […] I saw this head pass by in the midst of two hundred thousand spectators who were celebrating along with the escorting troops. Oh! How this joy pained me! I was at once satisfied and dissatisfied, I said ‘good’ and ‘bad’ at the same time. I understand that the people take justice into their own hands, I approve of this justice when it is satisfied by the annihilation of the guilty, but could it today not be cruel? The tortures of all kinds, the breaking on the wheel, the torture, the pyres, the whip, the gallows, the executioners multiplied everywhere, have given us such bad morals! The masters, instead of civilizing us, have made us barbarous because they themselves are. They will reap and will continue to reap what they have sown, for all this, my poor wife, will, it seems, have terrible consequences: we are only at the beginning."

Here we see from the outset that Gracchus, although an "ultra-revolutionary" on the issue of property rights (where even some members of the faction of the Enragés and the Exagérés hesitated to question the right to property, except for people like Momoro or Jacques Roux), advocates for clemency (which proves that being a moderate does not mean being lenient; the example with the moderate assembly in the conservative sense of revolutionary ideals and what happened during the Insurrection of 1st Prairial Year III) . But Gracchus is absolutely right in his reasoning, which proves that he is not the simpleton that Stefan Zweig tries to depict, but a man of great intelligence and a true humanist (I exaggerate deliberately, but he is one of those who truly fought against the double standard of morality while being a fervent revolutionary) when he does not put the names of the Babouvists involved with him in the conspiracy on a list and does not allow it to be left lying around in his room, according to Pierre Serna. This also shows that Gracchus considered his wife (Marie-Anne Victoire Babeuf)to be a trustworthy political figure. In fact, there are other letters (and she was, in a sense, Gracchus' right hand, not to mention the arrests or detentions she herself suffered under the Directory or Bonaparte).
