About This Quote

A caricature is a drawing or painting that exaggerates or distorts an aspect of someone or something to be humorous. In the 20th century, there were many political parties that used an exaggerated version of the Jacobin political movement as their ideology. The word “Jacobin” has its origins in the French Revolution and describes a person who advocates absolute equality and democracy. These were the ideas that the Jacobins advocated and they were often referred to as "Jacobinism." Later, there was a political party in Italy called the Fascists and many people saw them as a caricature of Jacobins.

For example, they wanted to impose strict discipline on their workers and society as a whole. This was similar to the Jacobins who wanted to impose discipline on their workers and society as well as enforcing equality.
