Was the French Revolution good or bad for the country?
>>1074226
It brought Napoléon Bonaparte, so it was worth it in the end.
>>1074226
Countries don't experience "good" or "bad."
It was the beginning of the end for the west.
>>1074226
Bad. It destroyed cultures and institutions that were perfectly fine to impose their new crap onto society. After the French revolution France has only gone downhill

The church was the save guard of lots of people,and in their property they were gorgeous pieces of art that has been lost,especially in the desamortizaciones in Spain

>>1074818
In what sense? Genociding more regional cultures and centralizing France even more which is something that is dooming the country?
>>1074811
How so?
>>1074921
Centralization,overall decadence of France,which allowed things like the world wars to happen,the loses of traditional institutions and values such as family or culture slowly started to lose their importance in society.
>>1074921
Paved the way for republicanism, communism and ensured Europe would be embroiled in war for centuries to come.
Fuck all of you counter-revolutionaries and your monarchists lackeys.
The Great French Revolution cast off the yoke of aristocracy and the Church.
No more feudalism, no more privilege for nobility and priests.
Civil rights for all men and women.
All equal before the law.
Emancipation of slaves.
But of course, YOU are against this.
Long live the Revolution!
Long live the French Republic!
>>1074982
Oh, like kings NEVER went to war?
Have you read ANY 18th century history?
Got a problem with republics?
Do you prefer aristocracy?
Long live the Great French Revolution!
>>1075032
Dont forget about cultural genocide,25k people executed for not being in favour of dumb ideas and the imposition of a meme religion. But that is not Tyranny,that is.... justice!!!
>>1075053
The war before the french revolution was mostly profesional armies killing each other usually respecting the invaded people. After the French revolution madness wars became birderline genocidal. Another thing that you can thank to the """""glorious"""""" French """"""revolution"""""
There is nothing wrong with aristocracy btw.
>muh six million kings guillotined personally by Robespierre! oy gevalt it's like anudda shoah!
"There were two 'Reigns of Terror', if we could but remember and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are all for the "horrors of the... momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror - that unspeakable bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves."
>>1075074
The monarchy proportionally has caused less deaths than the republican rules. Monarchies lasted 1000 of years and barely any genocide was made. Mao alone killed more people than all the European monarchies combined,and this is not counting Uncle Stalin and Hitler. Robespierre killed more people in a couple of years against civilians than hundreds of years of monarchy. To put this into perspective the evil Spanish inquisition killed 2000 people in 300 years. Robespierre killed around 25k people in his short reing
>>1075090
>missing the point entirely
Monarchies might have not perpetrated purposeful democide on the same level as ideology-driven republics, but they sure as hell killed uncountable millions throughout the years, by inequality, starvation, feudalism, intrigue, colonialism and pointless dynastic wars. This is the real unsung mass murder.
Revolutionaries were often murderous psychopaths, but monarchs were way worse. Fuck neoreactionary revisionism.
>>1075063
What cultural genocide?
That doesn't even make sense.
So what if the Jacobins killed aristocrats, vendeans and others plotting to restore the nobility?
None of you seem to remember the White terror.
Over 10k jacobins were executed or murdered by the Thermadorians and the Directory.
Rightists like to forget THEIR crimes.

The french revolutiok tried to genocide the minor cultures in France like the Basques. They destroyed the minor languages and their traditions in the name of a revolution.
And Thermadorians and the Directory just stopped the madness of retards like Robespierre.
>>1075074
Thank you, citizen!
>People in this thread are still ass-blated about what happened over 200 years ago
The French Republic today isn't the French Republic of 1793. After Napoléon Bonaparte came into power, he achieved the stabilisation of France by re-introducing many things lost with the fall of the monarchy.
If anything, France today has more in common with the old monarchic tradition than anything inherited by the Revolution. The French president has a LOT of power, including the complete right to pardon crimes. The french president is essentially an elected King of France, except it only lasts for 5 years.
Hell, the French Republican Guard does monarchic ceremonies. They have a special show number called "La Maison du Roy" where they all dress like old gens d'armes and pompeous noble cunts.
>>1075070
Wrong.
30 years war?
Killed many more civilians than soldiers.
How about forced requisitions, taking food and goods from those in the way of the army?
How many rapes?
C'mon, man!!
>>1075110
Total bullshit. Can you tell me a genocide done by a monarch? Because you will strugle finding one while I have so many choices to pick that is not even funny. Monarchies brought stability to a broken Europe that was collapsing after the fall of the Roman empire. People died of hunger not because of monarchies,but because technology was shit at the time. Monarchies have never confiscated more than 10% in taxes. You cant say the same about the psycos that you support. Dynastical wars were wars between proffesional armies,civilians were not targeted. The only wars that targeted covilians before the French revolution were religious wars,but even this ones havent caused as much harm as any """""revolution"""""" in history.
>>1075144
The 30 years war was a religious war fucktard. Protestants and Catholics were the ones seeking the destructions of each other. Dynastic wars caused only military deaths,other than sieges.
>>1075123
So defending the right to speak your native language is treason too? You guys are borderline retarded
>>1075155
obviously there were excesses like in any other single revolution but the great majority of people getting killed were pretty much scum so nothing of value was lost
needless to say that when there was no more scum to kill they started killing other that could "become scum" in a near future - that's how fear works in a revolution... you start getting paranoid and you have weapons at your disposal, so why not use it?
power is as addictive as cocaine and as the same side effects
>the French Revolution was the worst thing to happen to Europe, of course if we still had the blessed freedom of feudal order today I would be an enlightened noble rather than a filthy peasant
>>1075136
The Republican Guard wears 19th century style uniforms.
The French Republic has little to do with ancien regime.
So their President has power?
So does the POTUS.
No hereditary aristocracy.
No feudal privilege.
No rule by the church.
Women and minorities have civil rights.
People aren't owned by the nobility.
I don't see any profound links at all between the Republic and the monarchy.
>>1075149
Gee, I guess that's why Catholic Spain and Catholic France fought each other during 30 yrs war!!!
Idiot.
Remember the French victory over the Habsburgs at Rocroi?
>>1075181
I admire the English and the Dutch revolution. Their revolutions unlike the French ones werent genocidical,and werent based merely on pure revanchism. The french revolution starts because a bad harvest. There was nothing but hateness and desesperation on its followers. They tried to kill entire cultures,in the name of a revolution. I dont know how can anyone defend those genocidical bastards.
>>1075186
Back in the Ancien Régime feudality was already falling. The aristocracy too ; Many nobles were poor and miserable, while others, young bourgeois, were buying their titles. A few ordinances would have destroyed the Kingdom either way, monarchy was a thing of a past, that's all.
The important thing to understand is that the french Republic changed. Robespierre's dream was never achieved, and the Vth French Republic still has a huge monarchic-vibe, which is normal since Charles de Gaulle was a catholic, monarchist traditionnalist. Today, the french president lives in a palace, has some old king priviledges, and the french administration (From the Conseil d'Etat to the Cour des Comptes) is directly inherited from the old Curia Regis. Hell, there's even the Prud'Hommes, a jurisdiction invented under Louis IX that still exists today.
>>1075201
But the genocide in the 30 years wars hapoened in Germany idiot,which was purely a religious and centralizing war,something that the Jacobines defended. The casualties on the Spanish/French war in terms of civilian population were slim. You should inform yourself before posting that crap moron.
>>1075178
I guess that the Basque small farmers that defended their own language were scum. How can they believe that their children should speak their language? I am disgusted by the mere thought of children speaking the language of their parents.
>>1075145
Total bullshit.
Monarchs and their church allies purged entire populations of "heretics".
Northern Crusades, remember that?
How many jews suffered the wrath of "Christian" kings when they needed a scapegoat?
How about the Hundred Years War?
Lots of misery for civilians then too.
Religion was often used as a cover for avaricious actions by kings.
Feudalism may have stabilized Europe after the western Empire fell, but by the 18th century, it was an anachronism.
How do you Antis feel about the American Revolution?
>>1075229
>I am disgusted by the mere thought of children speaking the language of their parents.
>>1075145
I can.
Ivan IV, the Fearsome, genocided former republican polities of Novgorod and Khlynov, obliterated most of aristocracy and resettled peoples left and right, especially forcing Russians from Grand Lithuania to repopulate Moscow region after Livonian war started going to shit. He also created the grandfather of all secret intelligence services and troops to be used against own civilians, the Oprichnina system.
A hypercentralized state centuries before the French revolt.
Shit went so totally bad during his last years and after him, the Time of Troubles lasting for 20 years or so is still considered worse period than early USSR or Nazi occupation of Western Russia.
French went downhill after Louis XIV, "l'etat est moi" and the like. Absolutist regimes were just as anti-traditional as the modern republics are, and prepared the field for modern ochlocratic anarcho-tyranny.
Consider it "the progress of tyranny", from absolutist kings to early modern republics to communism and fascism to modern caste anarcho-tyranny.
>>1075238
The jews were targeted for the same reason the aristocracy was targeted,why dont you support this one this time? I dont support that by the way.
The HYW was brutal,but its purposed was never to exterminate the other group or the culture. Unlike the posterior revolutions
The American revolution unlike the French one was not about destruction and revanchism, unlike the French one,and it had a real philosophy behind it. It was closer to the Dutch revolution than to the French one.
>>1075218
No, you are wrong.
Your interpretation of the 30 years war is utterly incorrect.
The War was NEVER a religious war after the initial events.
It was an effort by the Holy Roman Emperor to consolidate power by attacking the protestant lands, not for the pope, but it made a good excuse.
"Religious" wars are NEVER truly about religion.
It is all economics.
So go ahead and continue deluding yourself.
I suggest that you read Peter H. Wilson's "The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy" published by Belknap-Harvard.
>>1075263
I didnt know about that. But I oppose centralization at all costs,which is were genocide usually comes from. Which is what the French revolution achieved. They finished Louis XIV and Richeleau's job.
>>1075275
The genocides were committed for the sake of religion. You seem to forget what genocide means. A war doesnt have to be a genocide. And in my post I talked about centralization which is something that I opposed myself.
>>1075032
The funny thing is they managed to kill more random innocents and other republicans in the mass mob hysteria than actual counter-revolutionaries.
>>1075265
Oh, fuck, you are Out there.
The American Revolution had plenty of revanche!
The war in the southern colonies was especially brutal and cruel, with MANY civilian casualties.
Patriot and Tory committed atrocities, but we like to forget that to make our Colonial rebellion "clean".
You obviously haven't read much on pre-revolutionary France, because if you had, you would know that there was a GIGANTIC philosophical process before and during the Revolution. Hell, there are entire books on the subject!!
>>1075310
There was philosphy behind the revolution,but it was mostly ignored. Montesquieu were totally ignored. And the revolution was driven mainly by revanchism,which is something obvious.
>>1075288
I do know the definition of genocide, and there was no program of eliminating an entire genotype of people until the Armenian during WWI.
You oppose centralization? So what?
I do support it.
Is the human race to be divided forever because of old tribal affiliations?
How much longer should we kill each other over land and resources?
Without a centralized government or laws that apply equally across the globe, the parade of death will continue.
>>1075319
No, it is not obvious at all.
Many of the revolutionaries were adherents of Rousseau, the Jacobins especially.
The desire for a universal Republic built on virtue and justice has little to do with a desire for revenge.
For that matter, why is revenge against a hateful, oppressive enemy, such a bad idea?
Yes.
Assblasted reactionaries GTFO.
>>1075329
Fuck this post is dumb on so many ways.
If you target a religion or a culture it is a genocide too. The firs genocide is not the Armenian one. The genocide of cultures is also a genocide,something than the revolutionaries did pleasantly.
Division integrates better than a union. Things like patriotism will always exist,and there is nothing wrong with that. The right to secede,should be universally accept,as segregation can be useful tool against policies that someone may not agree.
A global goverment would be the worst thing that could happen. 1000 of cultures would die,and political systems that have been working for 1000 of years,that had brought prosperity would be destroyed. Remember that if a global goverment was to be established wpuld probably have African corruption,Indian polititians and Sharia as its law,as the natural tendency is to mediocrity unless there is competition.

And no,not all the anti reactionaries were bad,lots of people fought to preserve their cultre,their communal lands or to simply stop the bloodbath against the people that opposed the revolution that was disgusting. Robespierre killed 10 times more people than the Spanish inquisition,and the inquisition lasted 300 years. Only dick people can defend this.
The greatest thing to ever happen to Europe.

By the way, it is still an ongoing process. Even though almost nobody from the younger generations is even aware they used to have cultures and languages vastly different from the Republican-approved masonic crap they've been fed with since birth, politicians seem hell-bent on ensuring there will never be a revival nor a mere preservation, as stated by Nicolas Sarkozy a few years ago, or more recently by Hollande, whose government re-draw an absolutely grotesque and non-sensical administrative map for the sake of destroying the few remnants of identity left through land and history.

In the long term it was good, mainly thanks to Napoleon who managed to keep the best parts of the Revolution and tone down the Jacobinism.

>Lenin was a failure, he may have "crushed the whites"(not really his doing), but his state and his aspirations were all undoubtedly wrong.
No, Lenin knew what was up.
People have this mad idea that had it not been for communism Eastern Europe would be just like the west. It wouldn't, it would be Turkey-level at best and extremely destitute countries like more or less the entirety of the Russian Empire gained the most from socialism by far and away.
Lenin is what made this happen, and he's a hero for doing it.

>>1075778
Czechoslovakia was on par with the west in pretty much every measurable cathegory. Healthcare, industrialization, democracy, everything. Fast forward to the late 80s and it was a shithole. Even East Germany is still a massive craphole compared to rest of Germany and that's despite 26 years of unity and trillions of Deutsche marks spent on integrating them.
Literally every time some commie boasts about communist advancement he pulls examples like Russia or some bumfuckistans in the Balkans but completely ignores that socialism downright ruined countries that were already industrialized.

This is true, communism can only work with massive automatization, however in the mean time socialism will have to do.

It's not vague at all. At present the means of production are owned as private property, communists wish to abolish this and have the means of production be run by the workers democratically.

Who determines what us a means of production? If I have a hammer I would have to share it,as it is a means of production? What if a plumber has some tools,would he have to share all his tools with his appentices? Would his apprentices earn as much as him? How can inovation happen if I cant produce my own means of production?Communism is very vague,things seem pretty chaotic.
>>1076119
When communists talk about "the means of production" they mean things that are owned by the bourgeoisie and produce profit through employment. Factories, mines, farms and so forth - things that require teams of people to operate.
Tools to be used by individals don't really fall under this, as the only person that could really vote on how your tools should operate is yourself - it's a personal matter.
>Would his apprentices earn as much as him?
They should decide this democratically, since he's more experienced and his work is twofold (both being a plumber and an educator) he would probably be entitled to a larger share.
>How can inovation happen if I cant produce my own means of production?
I don't understand your point. Innovation would make things more efficient thus allowing you (and everyone else) to produce more. You don't need capitalism for innovation as the USSR proved.
>>1076154
USSR was essentially state capitalist.
>>1076247
It wasn't, the USSR was socialist - even Trotsky the most stanch opponent of Stalin said it was simply a deformed worker's state.
>>1076291
It was in no way socialist other than how resources were distributed.
If it wasn't state capitalist why did they buy millions of pounds of grain from the US during their famine?
>>1074724

Inpoliticalandsocial sciences,communism(fromLatincommunis, "common, universal")is a social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of thecommunist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon thecommon ownershipof themeans of productionand the absence ofsocial classes,money, and thestate.
USSR had all of these
>>1077007
It proves they chose to participate in international markets, as a state capitalist society.
>>1074226

Because fucktard neoreactionaries aren't going to turn a population of normies into righteously indignant medieval shitheads any more than SJWs are going to make a population of normies play nice.

Neoreactionaries are rationalist modernist autists. They aren't real real reactionaries.

Those vendeens had it coming
It was disastrous in the short term. With the revolution crushed by the European monarchies and the Bourbons reinstated in power.
but it was miraculous for the long term, with the ideas and goals of the revolution enduring to shape western society and bring it to its peak.

We are obviously enemies, so eat a aids-dick you conservative twat.
Secession is dead, your side lost the civil war.
A global republic based on universal justice is the best possible result for World peace.
So get bent, secessionist scumwad.

How about the White Terror, which came after the Jacobins fall? 10-15k Jacobins were murdered and guillotined by the conservatives.
So, how do you feel about the White bloodletting?
Feel superior now?
Remember, with the Jacobin nation in arms, France was able to defeat the emigres and their monarchist allies.

Carlists were reactionary, not revolutionary.
They were like the vendeans, a religious reaction.

Democracy is garbage and so is your opinion.

Who the fuck cares ? The population is more homogenous and we dont have regions trying to get out like other countries except for corsica
Who was that really attractive reactionary guy from southern france, Courlenthau or Corlentha or something like that.
He had a few quick wins and then got stomped in a final fight?

why did they collapse again?
>>1074226
I don't understand the reasoning for it.
It just replaced the ruling God ordained noble class with a ruling merchant class. The average goy's lot didn't improve.

Of course there's so much more that the revolution did and set a presecedent for that I won't list it all here.
Who feels that we need another revolution? There's a new ruling elite that needs to be deposed.

No God ordained anything, ever.
Death to nobility.
The merchants deposed the egalitarian jacobins, only to create an oligarchy of the most decadent corrupt assholes.
Napoleon gave them the boot, and took the revolution to the rest of europe.

Still waiting for a source on this.
Better because it let Napoleon to prove himself

>>remove the privatised system of tax farming
You own land, you tax the people that use it. Way more fair than centralized taxes.
>>remove customs barriers and the insanely complex system of salt taxation
To create systems that end up taxing even more.
>>remove the courtiers and useless dick suckers from the king that only leech off the nation's farmers
This is dumb. Courtier's are cheaper than allthe polititians that we got in exchange,and seek results to please the king,instead of the expemsive cliemteralism that we have right now(welfare state,public pensions,foodstamps) that swallow 60% of the budget
>>remove church land and privilège
The church was an institution that did more good than harm. It also had a huge cultural patrimoney,that would later be lost in places like Spain(desanortizaciones)
>>remove nobility's tax exempt status
>Implying that limitting the budget is bad,and didint stop the king for demanding more taxes,something that is currently happening
>>grant representation to the people (25 male only ofc)
why is representation good,the more representation the bigger clienteralism is,something thar you were complaining about before
