That smacks of Lenin and Pol Pot, like modern lefties saying we need to purge “the rich.” Granted the idea of hereditary social privilege via being “noble” is absurd, there were nobles of mant degrees and thousands of them were willing to accept reform. Many such as Lafayette supported the revolution before it spiralled into irredeemable madness. To predicate reform upon the blanket slaughter of people for their status by birth is equally absurd as letting them rule because of that same status.
“there were nobles of mant degrees and thousands of them were willing to accept reform. “
Baloney. They would accept “reform” as long only as it left them in the driver’s seat.
” the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god.”
Thomas Jefferson
Storm the Bastille I say!!!! Every King/Queen/Nobility type out there would make castanets out of your testicles if you openly opposed them. If you behave and accept your fate to be lorded over, you may be allowed a little food between serving in their wars. But lord how they scream about “civility” when overthrown at bayonet point.
Storm the Bastille!!! (For Lily)
