oh boy, that thing. Safe to say most french people have a very poor understanding of that event, because schools here teach that Robespierre was basically Stalin and that Danton was like Obama. I wish I made this up but thats literally what I was taught back in High School. Also the whole “violence bad” bullshit, skipping the fact the french monarchy was atrocious for anyone who wasnt in the clergy or the nobility.

The “two reigns of terror” quote is evergreen, and one of the best parts is that it’s from a popular non-leftist author (Twain), so libs can’t even dismiss it out of hand.

Twain was pretty left, although not communist.
