    The French Revolution did not have a good ending. It ended with the first Nationalist Emperor in modern history: Napoleon.

    I’m begging y’all to actually read some books.

      Ok but one instance is not a good sample size.

      I do understand that revolution allows authoritarians to swoop in and take control, but my only question is, HOW MUCH TIME WILL REFORMS TAKE? Because if it is more than 1 year, we don’t have the time. Sorry. It’s that simple. Thermodynamics is a real bitch sometimes and WE DONT HAVE TIME to be dicking around for the next 10 years while the people in power claim they are working on changing things.
