Napoleon...was a peasant who destroyed the concept of feudalism by rising to power and conquering the lords and kings of virtually every nation in the world.

Unfortunately, Napoleon met his Waterloo--and that resulted in Bonaparte's Retreat.

Napoleon was of minor nobility, but he was NOT a peasant.

The world did not need Napoleon to rid itself of feudalism. What Napoleon added to the concept of anti-feudalism was merely the very type of savagery and barbarism that made feudalism look good in comparison. 6.5 million dead, millions more raped, tortured or mutilated. European Christianity in utter tatters. Totalitarian states the norm, not the exception. And the nihilism firmly entrenched which brought forth Hitler and Stalin.

If people really knew what Napoleon did, only the most deranged, atheistic perverts could celebrate him. Let’s not forget that he was even a military failure, too hellbent on destruction to even contemplate how to govern his empire.

As well as a hit song for ABBA.
