And I've tried to tell you you are wrong.  





LH>But the People (referred to below as the "Jacobin tradition" never accepted

*Ah*.  I see. *This* is the "Jacobin tradition", a paradigm that has ruled 
France (in theory at least); it isn't your "sabots".

of national unity and state centralization, a robust conception of patriotism, 

the promotion of a uniform and homogenous culture on its society, and 

the defence of the general interest against sectional concerns. "
