After the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, the British ambassador in Paris said it best: “The troops left the capital and the populace remained the unmolested masters of everything.”
The uprising had world-historic implications, and the broader French Revolution would be an early forerunner for the mass socialist politics that Jacobin was created to advance.
It’s an anniversary we care about, and we want you to be able to use Bastille Day as an opportunity to bring yourself or a friend into the Jacobin fold. Throughout today, new and gift print subscriptions are $7.89 (since it’s below costs, unfortunately, this coupon doesn’t apply to renewals). All international print orders are only $10 more. Just follow this link.

And as always, everything Jacobin does relies on your generous support to continue. We don’t ask so shamelessly that often, so please consider making a tax-deductible donation.
