The French Revolution was mostly a tale of radical actors taking control of the government and then using it to violently get rid of competitors.
Absolutely nothing to do with "the people" holding "government" accountable.
It's a very powerful symbol that if things don't work out violence is on the table and people are going to be held accountable. For those who know a little French history, you know that those French people don't fuck around.
