How have the citizens of virtually every other Western country achieved the reduction of the King’s authority?
How is it that only France and Russia found it necessary to engage in a horrendous bloodbath that destroyed the lives of millions of common people?
The insanity and evil that the French put in play has resounded through the centuries as the most heinous evil perpetrated in human history.
Was ridding themselves of Royalty worth the price? Was this, in fact, even the goal of the revolutionaries?
Isn’t it true that atheism and marxism are the direct spawn of the evil set afoot by the murderous zealots of France?
Nope, communism isn’t the child of the French revolution. And you forgot another country that got rid of a Monarch by using force.
We did. And it was a violent and deadly war that destroyed lives. And we had to fight it again in 1812 when the Monarchy came roaring back.
And nearly every reduction in Monarchy i’ve ever heard of was force or threat of force. And more than a few saw what happened to the French and took the example.
And you must have a wonderful sense of humor if you think the Germans and Austrians lost their monarchy peacefully.
But in the end, all monarchs bear the responsibility for the cost of their removal. Whether it is some Aztec king, a French Catholic king, or some fat farting potentate somewhere else,,,, if they simply relinquished all claims to rule over others, there would not be violence.
They ruled by violence. None were from God, and all gained their positions through the exercise of raw power. But oh how they squeal when someone dare use muscle against them.
Great post.
