And napoleon brought back slavery and declared himself emperor yet people still glorify the french revolution. It all came to nothing and we had the Stuarts back soon enough continuing their bloodyminded repression but it was also one of the few times in English history where the human dignity of the everyday person came even slightly into the forefront of political sphere as a legitimate and worthwhile thing

Funny you should bring up the French revolution considering that Marx viewed it as a bourgeois revolution.
yeah they both were but there were other social factors going on in both revolutions as well as the conflict between aristocrat and bourgeoise
that is not a gotcha, marx considered the bourgeois revolutions a necessary and progressive step in historical development
