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).
