FWIW, the French Revolution killed anybody who was (or was thought might be) an “enemy of the people.” The great majority who were murdered were not aristocrats or priests. Quite a few were those who picked the wrong side in a faction fight, leading to the claim that “The Revolution eats its own children.”
In the Vendee, it is estimated up to 250,000 people were murdered, with the methods used foreshadowing the Gulag and the Holocaust.
“... the French Revolution killed anybody who was (or was thought might be) an “enemy of the people.”
The expression ‘...the People’ with a capital “P” scares me whenever I see it. Any one or any group looking out for the ‘People’ is VERY suspect to me. Those movements and those ideas are always a scam to force some fraud on the public.
