I don't like when people glaze the French revolution "oh it got better that it was because it's no longer a monarchy", okay thanks for democratically committing genocides on us very cool
I mean i assume as a Hexbear poster you know what historical materialism is and what Marxists mean by "historically progressive"?
Like, we think The French Revolution was a historically necessary event. France (and Europe) needed to progress from feudalism to capitalism.
That doesnt mean we think capitalist/imperialist France is good or what happened to whichever of those countries youre from was good. Just that history needs to progress so we can get to communism.
I dont want to talk down here. Just be clear with whats intended and what Marxists mean by this. None of us think that liberal capitalist France is good.
The Republic banned slavery, the empire brought it back
