    The French Revolution did not fail. It was a bourgeois revolution that overthrew the feudal government and established a capitalist system. Socialists in the modern sense were not a significant power bloc at that time; the leaders of the third estate were mostly petty bourgeoisie.

    Bro, if you think France is going to get an emperor again you’re gunna wanna take a breather before making comments. They are protesting a government that needs to be reminded to serve its people, but until they start murdering politicians and replacing them with their own people we’re just not going to see their democracy completely wiped out.

    History rhymes, absolutely, and I would be a fool to ignore possible parallels, but this just is not the same thing.
