Isn't that the truth. In contrast to the American revolution, the French revolution was a violent absurdity. And isn't it interesting how it led directly to the emperorship of Napoleon? -- a foreshadowing of the Russian "people's" revolution which led to the dictatorship of Lenin and Stalin and the rest of the soviet Czars. This is a pattern that has repeated itself again and again. It reveals a lot about the true nature of socialism, which is elitist and authoritarian.
Well said...and Lib'rals will still tell you that Socialism--despite being a failure whenever and wherever employed as a political system--will work if the Ruling Class just won't greedily betray their utopian vision.
