- HDThoreaun 1y agoThe french revolution did not go well for the average french person. Not sure guillotines are the solution we need.
- skinnymuch 1y agoHow did it not go well for the avg person? The status quo does not go well for the avg person.
- chrisco255 1y agoYou should read French history more closely, they went through hell and changed governments at least 5 or 6 times in the 1800s.
- skinnymuch 1y agoThe status quo of the hegemonic structure of society is hell but because it has the semblance of authoritarian law and order people can look at that and say “that’s not hell”
- __MatrixMan__ 1y agoMost of the people who died in The Terror were commoners who had merely not been sympathetic enough to the revolution. And then that sloppiness lead to reactionary violence and there was a lot of back and forth until Napoleon took power and was pretty much a king in all but heritage. Hopefully we can be a bit more precise this time around.

- MemesAndBooze 1y agoThe French revolution was instigated by a group of shady people, far more dangerous and vile than the aristocracy they were fighting.
- dragonwriter 1y ago> How did it not go well for the avg person? You might want to look at the etymology of the word “terrorism” (despite the most popular current use, it wasn't coined for non-state violence) and what class suffered the most in terms of both judicial and non-judicial violent deaths during the revolutionary period.
- skinnymuch 1y agoYeah, I am aware of how the word revolved evolved. I don’t find terrorism necessarily a bad thing. Though I’m not as revolutionary as before.
- rectang 1y agoHere in the US, we have been getting a visceral lesson about human willingness to sacrifice your own interests so long as you’re sticking it to The Enemy. It doesn’t matter if the revolution is bad for the commoners — they will support it anyway if the aristocracy is hateful enough.
- lotsoweiners 1y agoYeah not guillotines but guns, bombs, and other tools should suffice. Body guards or compounds in Hawaii can help stop a small group but body guards will walk away from the job when thousands of well armed members of an angry mob show up at their employers door.
