"The French revolution resulted in many many death sentences, that is not disputed. But it hasn´t been a persistent policy,...."
What?????
I thought today was a day off.......but, no......I still have educating to do:
“If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety"). This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century.
In fact, Rousseau has been called the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the
"people's democracies." French Revolution - Robespierre, and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror
Bolsheviks claimed descent: “Historians of the French Revolution, which the Russians saw as a model for their own…”
Bolshevik Festivals, 1917–1920
And, of course, the Democrats stand for the same things the communists do.
How about you take a look at the aims of the Communist Party, USA, and the aims of the modern Democrat Party.
Watch, and note the consubstantial basis of both the aims of the Communist Party and the Democrat Party:
......it is ...extraordinary.....the correspondence between the aims of the communist party and the aims of the Democrats.....
1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
2. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
3. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
4. . Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
5. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
6. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
7. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
8. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
9. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
10. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
11. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
12. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
13. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce
Now....wouldn't an honest appraisal agree that all or almost all are clearly the aims and direction of Democrats/Liberals/Progressive leaders?
I got 'em from a website of declared communist goals...

And this:
"Government control of private sector activity...is aptly described as Bolshevik- or Marxist, socialist, collectivist, statist, or, for that matter, fascist, too.
Indeed, nationalized health care was one of the first programs enacted by the Bolsheviks after they seized power in 1917(Banks, insurance companies and means of communications were also taken over by Soviet authorities immediately."
