Commentary


De toute évidence, ce jeton émane d’un opposant à Cabet - https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Cabet - et pose les attitudes que nous retrouvons de nos jours par principe : le socialisme apporte la misère à ceux qui, tels des moutons, ont suivi ses enseignements. Notons que cette hargne, allant jusqu’à frapper un jeton de contre-propagande, fait honneur à l’importance de Cabet, et que celui-ci est parti pour l’Amérique à une époque où l’on pouvait y imaginer le socialisme.
Obviously, this token comes from an opponent of Cabet - https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Cabet - and poses the attitudes that we find today as a principle: socialism brings misery to those who, like sheep, have followed its teachings. Let us note that this anger, going so far as to strike a counter-propaganda token, does honor to the importance of Cabet, and that he left for America at a time when socialism could be imagined there

Historical background


SECOND REPUBLIC

(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)

Louis-Napoleon was elected on December 10, 1848 as the first President of the Second Republic. He did not have the right to run again in 1852. Louis-Napoleon decided to make a coup planned for December 2, 1851, the anniversary of the coronation of the Eagle and the commemoration of the Battle of Austerlitz. The coup is ratified by a plebiscite on December 21 with more than 7.5 million YES and only 640,000 NO. Victor Hugo went into exile on December 12. The following year, he will publish "Napoléon le Petit" which will earn Louis-Napoleon, who has become Napoleon III in the meantime, this famous sentence: "Napoleon le Petit by Victor le Grand".
