    marking the first instance of leftist terrorism

    Calling the French Revolution left of center is probably correct, but calling it Leftist most definitely isn’t. Look up Bourgeoisie, which is much closer to your Libertarian/“Centrist” views than you think.

    Also, people have been doing this for much longer. Only much later was the label terrorism added, which usually just means “violence that isn’t state sanctioned”

      If you think Jacobins weren’t leftist and also actively refuse to read, I don’t think anyone here can help you. Perhaps ask your history teacher?
