Yes, read the real history of the French Revolution. It was an evil event.

This was based on the June Rebellion of 1832, but had all the charming characteristics of the Revolution and the later Paris Commune. Those French really have a bad default setting for this sort of thing.

The French Revolution took place well before the events of Les Miserables. The barricade scenes are during the June 1932 revolt in Paris.

BZZZZZT! Try again. (Les Mis is well after the French Revolution).

Which actually makes it sort of an indictment of the French Revolution, really.

Yes I concur. The Dialogues of the Carmelites gives a much more accurate view.

How is it when the leftists take over, the first thing they do is start killing priests and nuns?

(of course we know the answer why)
