 HISTÓRIA - Mundo - A Conspiração dos Iguais
Mesmo tendo fracassado, Babeuf e o seu diretório secreto traçou certas coordenadas para a ação revolucionária que irão ser imitadas e seguidas pelos mais diversos agrupamentos de ação que se formaram ao longo da história do movimento socialista e radical europeu e internacional, sendo seguidos por Louis-Auguste Banqui, Vladmir Lenin ou Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Trata-se da mesma lógica seguida por Lenin na sua concepção da "vanguarda do proletariado", e a de Che Guevara com a teoria do "foquismo revolucionário".
A segunda dessas características herdadas do babovismo é um certo descaso para com as chamadas condições objetivas, um desprezo para com a realidade circundante, acreditando que a vontade política em agir, em tomar de assalto o poder, é talvez mais determinante do que o desejo das massas em se insurgir.

For example, where as now people are reffered to as to be working class/middle class/upper class (depending on their job, financial situation, social status etc.) communism would attempt to remove that, so in a way of speaking, everyone would be socially equal.
