  Brumaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was established in France by a decree of the National Convention on 5 October in the year II, completed with regard to nomenclature by Fabre d'Églantine, and promulgated in its new form on 4 Frimaire in the year II (24 November 1793).
The month of Brumaire began on the day which corresponded, according to the year, to October 22 or to October 23 of the Gregorian calendar, and ended on November 20 or November 21.
In political/historical usage, Brumaire often refers to the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire in the year VIII (9 November 1799), by which General Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the government of the Directory to replace it by the Consulate.

Brumaire, being one of the very few works that Marx could publish and edit twice during his lifetime, belongs to this ongoing, life long project of a double critique of politics and of political economy, although it comes in the guise of a piece of contemporary history and a polemic.
Brumaire comprises a detailed critique of parliamentarism, an outline of a critique of bureaucracy, even a shorthand critique of a democratic constitution and its intrinsic contradictions, and a critique of universal suffrage and the emerging form of political parties and “party politics” as well.
Brumaire, is complicated but illuminating: Bonapartist regimes are “normal” in “developmental states”, as long as capitalism is still being “made by the state” - with the one and large exception of the United States.

 18 Brumaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Napoléon Bonaparte in the "coup d'état" of 18 brumaire.
On the morning of 18 Brumaire, members of the Council of Elders sympathetic to the coup warned their colleagues of a Jacobin conspiracy and persuaded them to remove to Saint-Cloud, west of Paris.
In the words of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, "A shabby compound of brute force and imposture, the 18th Brumaire was nevertheless condoned, nay applauded, by the French nation.

Of all Marx’s writings on the French revolution of mid-century, which mark different strategic options, the Eighteenth Brumaire is the least engaged, the most self-consciously literary, emotionally arid and, from a historical viewpoint, distorted.
The Eighteenth Brumaire was written according to the specifications of Engels.

Early on the morning of 18 Brumaire VIII (9 November 1799 according to the old calendar) the deputies were duly encouraged to decamp to Saint-Cloud, to the west of Paris.
When Bonaparte was assaulted in the Council of Five Hundred he almost fainted (contrary to Bouchot's famous depiction of the scene, which shows the general maintaining his sang froid) and it was brother Lucien, a deputy in the Council, who saved the day by calling upon the troops to defend their leader.
He was gradually able to fulfill the promise he made on the morrow of Brumaire that 'the Revolution is over', yet only at the expense of abandoning much of the political acculturation of the 1790s.

 Philosophic Dialogue: Marx's EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE today
Karl Marx published THE EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE OF LOUIS BONAPARTE in 1852 in the aftermath of the Dec. 2, 1851 Bonapartist coup in France that brought to an end the whole period of ferment that had begun with the 1848 revolutions.
The EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE was one place where Marx developed his theory of the state, something he had planned to complete in a major work that was to follow CAPITAL.
In the EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE, Marx showed how the road to the Bonapartist coup of December 1851 had been paved by the deep contradictions that had emerged in 1848, on the one hand, between the bourgeois democrats and the proletariat, and on the other, among the bourgeois democrats themselves.

Brumaire, we must always remember, was launched by several dozen disaffected moderate politicians from within the Directory regime.
Their repeated bludgeoning of the left likewise violated the constitution but never subdued that energetic minority, although ironically it led the Neo-Jacobins by 1799 to become the primary supporters of the (anti-Jacobin) constitution of 1795, which at least gave them some breathing room.
If one observed the Council of State (the hub of the new government) a year after Brumaire, it would seem as if Fructidor had never occurred; the same was true, if less dramatically, in the Senate and elsewhere.

 18 Brumaire
The Directory, which had maintained control of the country under the Year III Constitution, was riddled by weakness, inequality and corruption and could not stand up to the man now hailed as a Messiah of France, General Napoleon Bonaparte.
Unlike many of the other events of the French Revolution, 18 Brumaire was the result of scrupulous (or unscrupulous as the situation may be) planning.
The morning of 18 Brumaire, the Ancients deputies (well, some of them were conveniently "overlooked") received special notice at their houses detailing them of a Jacobin plot on the Convention (which was, of course, farcical) and that they would need to meet for a special briefing session at 8 am.

Although contemporary propaganda ensured that the seizure of power became known as the coup d'etat of 18 Brumaire VIII, Malcolm Crook emphasizes the recourse to military force to overcome politicians' protests on 19 Brumaire.
I go even further, suggesting that Brumaire was merely another step, and not the most decisive one at that, on the road to liberal authoritarianism and a security state.
In my first essay I suggested that Brumaire was not the decisive turning point for democracy in France; here I suggest that treating it as a major break with the revolution has diminished the importance of continuous warfare in determining the shape of the post-revolutionary settlement.

Bonaparte's disruptive foray (which initially gave Sieyés apoplexy: "this maneuver is going to ruin us!") created pandemonium, followed by the introduction of troops to clear the hall, which put an end to resistance.
Therefore the statement that "the coup of Brumaire nearly miscarried on its second day" is not exactly accurate; either with or without Bonaparte's precipitous act, we simply do not know that the foes of the coup could have caused it to miscarry.
Brumaire and its aftermath was anything but minor.
