what you’re selling here is pretty close to propaganda. I’m going to assume that you are either willfully ignorant on the subject, cannot admit that you’re so ridiculously wrong, or have some other personal ax to grind. irrespective, you’re flirting with absurdity.

your naive, romantic notions of one of the most undemocratic, authoritarian, senseless, and soul crushing episodes of wanton human savagery in history cries out for correction. I sincerely hope you find it. this is a big one to have so incredibly wrong.

I prefer freedom to fanaticism, conscience over conformity and free workers over serfs.

The old medieval French order embodied all the latter. It took a vast upheaval to sweep it away.

In the end, people had a voice, they could worship God as they wanted and they were not bound to the land in thrall to their masters.

Did the French Revolution have its sins? Of course but sometimes humanity can only advance by throwing off the shackles of the past.

When one considers whom the French Revolution emancipated: intellectuals, businesspeople, workers, peasants, Protestants and Jews, I find that alone is much to admire about it.
