Il 10 maggio 1796 i capi della «Lega» vengono arrestati e Babeuf condannato a morte.
Il soprannome Gracco (col quale firmò spesso i suoi articoli) è ispirato alla figura di Caio Gracco che, da tribuno della plebe nel 123 a.C., con suo fratello Tiberio, fu fautore di una riforma agraria a favore della plebe.
Babeuf, conclude Labriola [Del materialismo storico], “fu vero eroe di tragedia antica, che dà di cozzo nel fato, per la ignorata incongruenza del proprio disegno con la condizione economica del tempo, non atta ancora a mettere su la scena politica un proletariato fornito di esplicita coscienza di classe”.

 The Doctrine of Graccus Babeuf   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
But the leader of the group, the journalist Francois Noel Babeuf, who had indicated his choice of spiritual antecedents by styling himself "Gracchus," used the trial as an opportunity to denounce the decline of the Revolution, and to restate its aims in terms of a vision of communist egalitarianism.
Babeuf was sentenced to death, along with Darthe, another of the group's leaders, and they were executed the following year; the others were sentenced to short terms and ultimately released.
Babeuf's later letters barely conceal his growing impatience with the mere play of sensibility that the dialogue was becoming.

Babeuf saw this constitution as a temporary measure because what he desired was a new dictatorial committee of public safety and ultimately, a collectivist state.
Babeuf justified going to these lengths to preserve equality because he believed that people would continue to be unhappy without it.
So, Babeuf openly declared that the state might have to be organized along despotic-military lines at least until the ignorant masses had been brought up to a particular consciousness of their own aims and interests.

The founder of Communism, however, is not popular Communist icon, Karl Marx, but rather a Frenchman, Francois-Noel Babeuf during the French Revolution; his ideas, however were never implemented as he was shortly executed after formulating it.
However, the form of Communism we will concentrate on will be modern Communism as created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as it was the ideology adopted by the American Communist Party, being that it was formulated in industrialised Germany and thus was relevant to the United States of America.
