    Revolution is never perfect

    I don’t think I want someone this inconsistent leading the glorious uprising.

      It’s going to happen despite the wet blanketing.

        Which is going to happen? The perfect thing or the thing that’s never perfect?

          Both, pedant. The French perfected the process of lopping off the heads of the powerful and wealthy. They did an extremely good, extremely efficient job of that. In the long term things will likely be messy for a while while things sort themselves out.

          Keep up the wet blanketing, though, you’re doing your best.

            And that’s why France is a communist country today!

                Wasn’t that your argument? That the French Revolution did an extremely good job and because of that, doing the same thing in America would bring about communism?

                So obviously France is a communist country, right?

                    Yes, doing that is one way to avoid the fact that you’re predicting that the thing that didn’t happen last time will happen this time if the steps are repeated.
