The Fastidious Assassins

The Fastidious Assassins

1949 • 114 pages

A great philosophical take on revolutions as sanctified mass murder. The author focusses on the difference between rebellion and murder; “rebellions kills men, revolutions kill men and ideas”. In it, Albert Camus is in favour of reformation (rebellion) rather than revolutions which usher in more authiritarianism than the deposed system.
