    “ I don’t mind being executed as long as the government that ends my life is weak, ineffective, predisposed to being taken over by a dictator, and will surely fail within 2 years of its inception.

    I dont think I could make a more L take if I tried.

      Yes, Revolutionary France very ineffective, First Coalition won that war, right? Or the Royalists in the Vendee?

        Which Revolutionary France? The one conquered by Napoleon, or the one conquered by Napoleon III. Just because a revolution kills a bunch of people and then gets conquered by a dictator does not classify it as a success.
