If you had one shot, one opportunity, to guillotine everyone you ever wanted, in one revolution...would you capture it or just let it slip?

>betray the spirit of rebellion.
No thanks

The terror was self-defense

La France is ready
Guns aimed, hearts are heavy
With Austrians at the border already, Max is steady
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks sly and ready to list names,
but he couldn't find the courage
To call them out
Convention's ruined clout
He opens his mouth but the crowd shouts him down
He's blown it now
Blood of Danton chokes him now
The guards are out
His rule's over blam!

ROBESPIERRE DID NOTHING WRONG

Even if that were true op is suggesting killing people on a whim.

Robespierre only wanted to guillotine enemies of the people so that's irrelevant

Snap back to fraternity, oh there goes equality
Oh, there goes Robbie, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy?
Non

Has there ever been a successful revolution as hilariously incompetent as the first French Revolution?

>enemies of the people

Hmm... sounds familiar

There needs to be a Veeky Forums: The Musical

What's the best book on the French Revolution?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's head to waste
And I was 'round when The ruling class
Had thier moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Girondines
Washed their hands and sealed their fate

This is gold

I'm dying

Maybe you can argue some of that. The King really did provoke a war with Austria he intended to lose.

The anti-Catholic purges of priests and Infernal Collumns were pretty inexcusable.

I'd prefer to be the heroic general that usurps after after the beheading maniac gets guillotined himself. And take the one shot to dominate the western world.

Couldn't even beat arsenic.

Thomas Cochrane had a plan to bust him out after the 100 Days and take him to lead the revolution in Chile.

Imagine the alternate timeline where there is a Bonapartist Empire in South America.

>All these people claiming Robesippre like to behead people
He was the least bloodthristy in the Comittee

Someone please make this into a song
