Just as an FYI, all the Marxist revolutions, yes, including the Chinese Cultural revolution, literally had used the French Revolution as its inspiration. Even Karl Marx admitted that much in at least two sources, and if anything he wanted it to be an even gorier remake. Don’t believe me? Here are some quotes from him:

*”Once we are at the helm, we shall be obliged to reenact the year 1793…”-Marx-Engels Gesamt-Ausgabe, vol. vi pp 503–505, final issue of Neue Rheinische Zeitung, May 18, 1849. Quoted in Thomas G. West, Marx and Lenin, The Claremont Institute

*”The vengeance of the people will break forth with such ferocity that not even the year 1793 enables us to envisage it.”-Marx-Engels Gesamt-Ausgabe, vol. vi pp 503–505, final issue of Neue Rheinische Zeitung, May 18, 1849. Quoted in Thomas G. West, Marx and Lenin, The Claremont Institute

And believe it or not, Voltaire and his ilk attempted that crap long before Mao came up with the idea and arguably was successful in that regard. Contrary to popular belief, the aristocracy wasn’t even the intended target of the French Revolutionaries, it was actually Christendom as a whole. In fact, some of the supporters of the French Revolution were in fact members of the aristocracy. I can name at least two people who definitely were aristocrats and who supported the revolution: Duke Phillip of Orlean (aka, the brother of King Louis XVI who acted as the single tie-breaking vote to ensure his demise), and Marquis de Sade.

But hey, don’t take it from me, take it from these sources:

And for good measure:

Heck, cancel culture also had its roots in the French Revolution as well. And wouldn’t you know it, that sage of Freedom of Speech, Voltaire, practically INSTIGATED cancel culture. Just read Barruel if you don’t believe me.

Your entire post is irrelevant.

What is happening is NOT a revolution, just like the Chinese Cultural “Revolution” was not a revolution.

In America, as in China, the population is NOT revolting against the government. The people are NOT seeking to change the government.

The government is revolting against the people. As Mao did against his people. The government is seeking to change the people. There is NOTHING organic about the ongoing destruction of America. It comes from above the people.

It is quite discouraging how clueless our side is. We are more interested in counting angels on a pinhead than in seeing things for what they are. And so many do their clueless thing in a condescending way, speaking down instead of engaging the actual point.
