Well it was either that or else it was Proudhon. I'm far too much of a politics/history geek to think of anything else, in fairness. Well, maybe Camus or Sartre, as I've just been reading something by them both lately.

[Prvev]

Yea, I was going to ask why everyone was going with Camus for Algérie but not Sartre/Hugo/Pascal/whomever (or, indeed, Camus) for France. Although I guess Camus might be more widely read, I don't really know.

Of course, I understand that the allure of going for "frogs" is just too strong to resist.
