- ekianjo 11y agoYes, this is what everyone keeps forgetting. The same folks who were for Freedom and self determination went off chopping heads like crazy right after that. And yet the "Revolution" is still celebrated, while it's a gross apology of Murder as a whole.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoRemember that Robespeirre was led to the guillotine. Once the killing starts, you're riding the tiger. So far as I know, Beria would have killed Stalin had he had the chance. Same basic deal.
- ekianjo 11y agoRobespierre had lived way too long - his existence made the Terror continue for years and he was unchallenged at the Commune until they finally got to get rid of him - and stop the craziness of the Terror.
