    Yo, you calling me out =D?? Please tell me where I went wrong - which is the liberal propaganda? Also - what kind of liberal? They were all liberals in the French Revolution, save for Gracchus Babeuf. Socialism grew up afterwards.

        I completely agree - it is maliciously exploited by modern liberal propaganda. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the Terror was nothing when compared to the long Terror of feudalism that came before.

        I am just coming from a place of historical pedantry. The guillotines really were used to kill a lot of revolutionaries over sometimes minor political differences. And the Terror was mismanaged/misdirected/overdone in many places which even the Committee of Public Safety recognized at the time. None of that discredits the Revolution as a whole or even its use of violent repression in particular.
