Today is July 14th, aka "Bastille Day", le Quatorze Juillet

237 years ago, restive Parisians took guns and canons from the Invalides reserves, then attacked the Bastille fort, symbol of the oppressive power, and took it in a bloody siege

The Bourgeoisie quickly saw the opportunity and took power in Paris

They bought the guns back, 40 sous a piece. Famished people did not hesitate

The true People's Revolution was over soon after it's most symbolic action

The Bourgeoisie is still in power.
