It's certainly not. But then, they keep on making up quotes that Saint-Just never said in English (like that one with the liberty bedded on corpses... or, I don't want to remember it okay) and, like Sophie Wahnich said in her essay on terrorism, they even quoted (in French however) something from Büchner (in which he compares the revolution to the plague -- which is a quite Thermidorian image indeed -- LIKE ALL THE MACABRE IMAGES ANYWAY) and historically attributed it to him.
Also, I must rant, did you see the comment right after victoriavandal's on the first part on youtube? Some idiot calls it "an honest, thought-provoking progressive critique". Schama. Progressive? With all the sophisms and false representations constructed by our so very modern speech, we're not far from totalitarism, as someone said in the comments, indeed.
