Uhm...I have no idea why you would think that. We aren’t the french and we would be fighting against socialism not for it.

The hallmark of the French Revolution was the Terror, wherein the nobility (and their families and their associates) were savagely put to death; IIRC often w/o any legal justification or forms (i.e. trials or defenses).

“Terror is nothing else than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible.”
“The government in a revolution is the despotism of liberty against tyranny.”
— Maximilien Robespierre

If/when we revolt against our ruling caste, it will be hard to reign in emotions and ensure that they are given the proper trials; there is more than ample evidence against them.

We aren't the Patriots that created this great Republic either.
