There was absolutely NOTHING libertarian about the French Revolution.
What are you kidding? It was pure anarchy ... which is where we'd end up if (God forbid) libertine-arianism ever became the ruling ideology. Bank on it.

What are you kidding? No.
It was pure anarchy
1) Libertarianism is not anarchy.
2) The French Revolution begat authoritarian government, not anarchy.

"The voluntary support of laws, formed by persons of their own choice, distinguishes peculiarly the minds capable of self-government. The contrary spirit is anarchy, which of necessity produces despotism." --Thomas Jefferson

That's right. It wasn't driven by libertarian ideas though.
