        They perfected it so well that Napoleon was crowned emperor with even more power than the King had 15 years later.

          Revolution is never perfect and things often get worse before they get better but the current path that the US is on leads to a bloodbath.

                  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.
