Even though I don't agree with everything SJ did, or all of his ideas, I still admire him for his loyalty, and the fact that he stuck to his principles when so many other people didn't (Fouche and Talleyrand come to mind) The sad thing is, the idealouges in Revolutions seem to get killed, and the opprunists and double crossers, seem to be the ones who not only survive, but they usually do fairly well after. Fouche was made Duke under Napoleon. Okay, back to Saint-Just, what I also find interesting about him is the potential that he had. If he lived, I think History would be very different. He probably would have been the leader of France, not Robespierre. I think SJ's personaitly was to strong to be just Robespierre's diciple. What do you think?
