It is by my hand that you will rise from the ashes of this world . Kind executed by guillotine just like everyone else equality in death. Enlightenment idea that one"s property and labour belongs to oneself (economic idea) break from feudalism to capitalism (freedom from the land) Guild unifies, organizes, distributes labour: you can sell your skill. Feudalism tied individual to the land, guild system freed it partially from the land. Enslavement to an individual is about who controls what resources e. g. gold. French revolution seemed to capture the control of gold, but then people lost it around. Capital not reducible to just money or resources.
