    They perfected it so well that Napoleon was crowned emperor with even more power than the King had 15 years later.

      Revolution is never perfect and things often get worse before they get better but the current path that the US is on leads to a bloodbath.

        I don’t think I want someone this inconsistent leading the glorious uprising.

            Which is going to happen? The perfect thing or the thing that’s never perfect?

              Both, pedant. The French perfected the process of lopping off the heads of the powerful and wealthy. They did an extremely good, extremely efficient job of that. In the long term things will likely be messy for a while while things sort themselves out.

              Keep up the wet blanketing, though, you’re doing your best.

                    Wasn’t that your argument? That the French Revolution did an extremely good job and because of that, doing the same thing in America would bring about communism?

                    So obviously France is a communist country, right?
