Jacobins --

Members of the Société des Jacobins, a French political association which advocated the violent overthrow of abusive government, the institution of democracy, and egalitarian principles during the late 1700s.  Its middle class membership is said to have roused the French peasantry to revolution and was often accused of atheism and leveling.  William Blake was an advocate of such action; Wordsworth and Coleridge feared their excessive terrorist tactics.
