I’m not sure how much you have read up on the French Revolution but the murder and decapitation of Marie Antoinette along with thousands of other people did not solve any problems. This is why all modern democracies do not rely on violence to solve political differences. The Directory is about the worst possible outcome for a revolution you can imagine.
- coliveira 6y agoThey didn't solve all problems, but they removed a large part of the ruling class of the time. And the French Revolution was the most important popular revolution of the western world, no question about it. Trying to minimize it because of the civil-war that resulted is nonsense.
- seibelj 6y agoI simply cannot rationalize nor approve of senseless and indiscriminate murder. Such rationalization is what leads to the holocaust. All human life is sacred. I hope you learn to separate politics from violence.
- koheripbal 6y agoI wonder how many "ruling class" people you'd be willing to murder to get your way today...
