The roots of Marxism/Communism were in the ideology of the French Revolution, specifically Robspierre's Reign of Terror where war was waged on the people and on civilization by the government (established after the death of the King and the royalty) to reduce the population. They began arresting the clergy, too.

There is no comparison between the American Revolution and the French Revolution. It angers me that children are taught the American and French Revolutions were ideologically parallell.

I couldn't agree with you more, FrdmLvr! Thanks so much for writing!
