The first SJW was arguably Maximilien Robespierre, the architect of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. During the Terror, you could be sent to the guillotine not only for being against the Revolution, but for not being enthusiastic enough about the Revolution. Robespierre's dream was that this would somehow bring about a "republic of virtue". Eventually, everyone else had enough of his bullshit, so they sent Robespierre himself to the guillotine and cut his head off, which ended the Terror.

"They always eat their own"

I bet it was because he wasn't extreme enough

Well, no. Robespierre's death actually marked the end of the Reign of Terror and things settled down for awhile after that.

Although, some fifty years later, Karl Marx got his ideas largely from studying the French Revolution and trying to figure out why it went "wrong". That's not "wrong" in the sense of having senselessly killed lots of people, mind you, but "wrong" in the sense of having failed to bring about socialist utopia. Marx's conclusion was that it was because the bourgeoisie had rebelled against the aristocracy, but the proletariat had not rebelled against the bourgeoisie. In other words, to hugely oversimplify, Marxism is partially built on the assumption that the problem with the French Revolution is that it didn't go far enough.
