That was a massive popular revolution, not targeted assassination. So why would I tell that to the French?
People also always leave out the fact that it took only 15 years to go from that popular uprising to an emperor being crowned who had just as much power as the king who was executed.
In that vein, revolutions have as much of a chance to end poorly as to end well. Look at what is happening in Syria right now. There are a lot of players. The ideal arrangement would be peaceful power sharing inside of a democratic framework, but there is every chance that Assad will be replaced with another violent authoritarian regime.
Yeah French revolution didn't have any lasting impact on global society
Should just kept the king and worked within the system lll
I didn't say any of those things or even imply them. Why are you putting a bunch of nonsense in my mouth?
You were down playing its impact and making these implications by omission.
If you disagree with my assessment you are free to clarify your position on the French revolution and its impact on the class relations;)
I disagree with you putting words in my mouth. If you don't understand what I meant, ask me. Don't lie.
