First of all, I'd like to recommend you this article: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too

Second of all: it's hard to imagine the intellectual development that led to socialism and anarchism, without the French revolution. Of course, it's a counterfactual scenario to imagine history without the French revolution -- but still, things happened the way they did.

Edit: French revolutionaries liberated women and banned slavery -- until the counter revolution.

People in Egypt are dirt poor and can hardly stay afloat themselves. Why expect them to take the burden for a crisis that they didn't cause and don't support? (Is Egypt corrupt as fuck and is are the people running the state rich as fuck? -- yes.)

I love France and all, but let's not pretend they have good coffee culture. What passes for cappuccino there... The horrors I've seen.

Armies relying on archers often had a continuous resupply running towards archers in position.

The arrogance of these people passing around their homework as gospel.
