My biggest fear is what emerges after.
No, no, don't you know, this time it'll be different. Every time a government was violently overthrown by the local population what came after was either dictatorship or warlordism. But this time it'll be different! Trust me, bro!
I'd be willing to accept help from France again
what i've learned from history is that the killing doesn't stop after the revolution, it just continues. if there's no more nobles to decapitate, then suspected "supporters" of nobles get executed, then just people suspected of being counter-revolutionary (whatever that means).
the killing doesn't stop after the revolution, that is why it's best if the revolution itself stays as bloodless as possible.
That's why it tends to happen only when the "right now" is terrible for enough people. If the options are either living in a dictatorship, and fighting against and possibly not living in a dictatorship, a lot of people might favor trying the latter
