If he hadn't been overthrown and killed, would he be regarded in a much more positive light à la Napoleon?

Winning is always a good way to improve your reputation.
was there ever a technocrat with higher ideals who was regarded well afterwards? thats how high the chances for robespierre are.
Why were all Jacobins ugly motherfuckers?
>>399125
Certainly. A lot of his bad reputation come from the propaganda of the guys who replaced him and from the lies of those who tried to shift the blame of the actual crimes away from themselves.
It would not have helped much against the propaganda of the anglos though.
Also, only idiots see Napoleon in a good light.
>>399377
It was the first beta uprising

Danton was a smooth talker who got pussy tho
cult of the supreme guillotine really took off
>>399125
He's not regarded in a terribly negative light in France. More like an excessively-enthusiast leader with some strange quirks and slight paranoia. The persons more associated with the Terror are Saint-Just and to a lesser extent Fouche. Besides it's not like after Thermidor France became democratic, it was same tyranny but without any popular participation at all and somewhat less shitty economy.
>>399377
Danton was like 7'8" and jacked as fuck.
>>399622
True. Here's a better picture of him.
He was probably the best guy to lead the Revolution, at least after the purifications began.
>>399640
Look at this neck. They probably had to guillotine him twice to get through it.
>>399666
Oh shit I forgot to actually post the pic
Nice trips anyway

Napoleon created a stable state, whose glory was only diminished by military failures: Code Napoleon, return to silver francs, expanded bureaucracy, end of the reign of terror, meritocracy etc.
Get educated and read some Andrew Roberts, twat

He did. The rule of foche was far far far more benevolent and whilst mistakes were made there were no mass guillotines of dissidents or lynchings of priests. The terror was truly horrible and anarchic and Napoleon's dictatorship was far more egalitarian than just about every other government operating in Europe at the time.

The Reign of Terror ended in July 1794. Napoloen was not involved in ending it.
>>399377
Its the Satanic power leaving its mark.

Thanks for adding to the discussion you useless faggot.
>>399125
But he did nothing wrong.
I really need an answer, I have no idea what to think of Napoleon because there's so much conflicting evidence on whether or not he's a beneficial leader or evil douche.
Is there an at least slightly unbiased book about the life and accomplishments of Napoleon that wouldn't try to push an agenda on me?

Stop right there we've got it.
>>399377
A raging bull stomped repeatedly on Danton leaving his face deformed for life.

kek

No. All agenda goes back to the French Revolution.
