    This sounds a little bit like someone claiming that the German nazi regime shouldn’t have ended because Germany still isn’t a leftist paradise.

    Seriously, anybody saying “the French Revolution didn’t go so great” is conveniently leaving out how bad things were before. Seen that way, the French Revolution was a massive success for both the working class and the bourgeoisie.

    In the end you’re just trying to dissuade and demotivate people who want change.

      I’m not just trying to do that. Helping people learn history is the main point, demotivating revolutionaries is just a healthy after-effect of becoming more educated.
