The French Revolution marked the beginning of socialism. It marched across Europe to culminate in the Bolshevik Communist Revoluton...its crowning achievement.

Yes the Jacobins were the Bolsheviks of their time. And like when Robespierre was executed so were many of the original Bolsheviks. Lenin too if he was actually murdered by Stalin.....
