I loathe the guillotine rhetoric - did they all sleep through the rest of history class and that it ends with massacres of innocent people not even tenuously connected and getting a fucking emperor? Really it is an all too common attitude - they don't want to fix anything or even think; they just want to feel good about hurting people.

The Anciene Regime ceased to exist and that was a good thing. Many revolutions require violence but that doesn't mean they're never worth it. Nobody could have predicted Napoleon but he was still much better than the monarchy.
