They might wonder the same about the owners. The French Revolution didn't work out well for the owners.
- maeln 9y agoIt actually did work out great for owners. The French Revolution was not the perfect "people" revolution that a lot of people think it is. The people who mostly gain from it were the bourgeois who were really restrained under the royality. That's why one of the first right of the Declaration of Human Right is the right to possess.

Wherein by "first", you mean "17th article" (or 30). https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Huma... EDIT: Ah, I forgot about the context of the French Revolution, so I looked at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_Man_and_of_the_Citizen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_M... of August 1789. The right to property is actually the last article in that one, so the original point remains debunked.
