Greeks have a lot of Turk these days. Not sure what is in southern France, probably Moroccan.

It's complicated. I'm sad it happened is some ways, if anything my main critique of the French revolution is that it was an abject failure.
I'm not fundamentally against the ideal of the revolution "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", which I'm sure the historian is. I was really just joking posting this.
I fundamentally agree with the opening statements of the communist manifesto,
'The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class
struggles.'
I think you'd be a fool not too. And if you agree with this statement I don't believe you can believe in Monarchy, or even our current form of government which is practically an aristocratic democracy (only the rich may run for high office, in most cases).
But, I'm definitely more open than most to history. I don't hate the catholic church or monarchs like most left wingers seem too. I see a lot of value in the past and I wouldn't destroy it just because it costs a little money to maintain (I.E the British monarchy).

I fundamentally disagree with the premise though, to imply the lower class is inherently stupider than aristocrats/monarchs makes little sense. There have been many foolish (Like, literally retarded) kings.
I believe a fairer, more equal education would raise people's intelligence a lot more. I don't believe in natural hierarchy. Not that I don't believe it exists, but that I don't believe it's inherently moral. I'll assume you're not a Christian/Religious and are an Atheist.
I'm not a liberal though, and even though I believe the enlightenment was a good thing, I'm not really one to defend the French revolution because I believe much of it is misguided.
I agree that equality may be emotional drivel, and peace isn't mentioned though I would prefer that.
But liberty is an achievable goal. I believe in human happiness, or perhaps more accurately fulfillment with stability. You could argue feudalism and older forms of government provided this life, but you must agree there was much in the way of suffering, and little in the way of freedom.
Perhaps feudal life was 'fulfilling', God and hard work, but I think we could get that same fulfillment today, without the suffering and 'inequality' of the past.
Obviously, I don't expect to make you a Marxist with this post or anything, but I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

Societies self-destruct when the lower classes radically outbreed the others. We are back to Darwinism there.
Liberty, equality, peace... these are emotions, not goals.
Humans are just trying to find one kind of society that does not turn on us. We had one, but left it behind.

I think if you're not to critical of the sentence you easily gleam it's meaning. Workers have been exploited for most of history by the 'owner' class.

@adachi @amerika @RustyCrab @meso I don't agree with that statement, I think it is very reductive and vague, with "class" and "struggle" left practically undefined such that later neo-marxists reinterpret critical theory into it.

I've read about the french revolution a fair bit. Louis XVI was a pretty lenient king in comparison to his predecessors and I think that's what makes the revolution more angering to me. A lot of people unfairly portray the French royalty as decadent which I don't think is entirely accurate for Louis XVI, if anything things seemed to be heading the way of more freedom. If it weren't for the revolutionaries France probably could've had an England situation going on.
