The French Revolution was a disaster: killed 2 million people, led to the rise of Napoleon--perhaps the world's first totalitarian fascist dictator, who began wars of conquest that killed an additional 4 million people, led to the restoration of slavery, to the restoration of the monarchy, and a delay of democracy in France by perhaps a century.
Russian Revolution killed several million, led to the Russian Civil War--which killed another 9 million--led to the rise of Stalin, who killed 20 million.
There's an old cliché: you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Well, it ignores the fact that people aren't eggs, and that generally does not result in an omelette.
Again, the Chinese Revolution, perhaps the most disastrous event in history, led to the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, killed perhaps 30 to 40 million people altogether.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾 solidarity from the rest of the team. Keep walking off!! We did "playing through it" and nothing has changed. Points deductions needed, the fines are pointless.
@lekufo Certainly would need some time to deliberate this… I would prefer the eagle in the midfield for the vision… polar bear at left back… or centre back… gazelle at left mid/forward… I would of thought the fox would be the number 9…
This video calling out the Prime Ministers bull**** on public sector pay got over 200,000 views overnight & has suddenly been deleted! So here it is again. Share it far & wide! Let’s make sure the country knows the TRUTH
The Prime Minister blaming Junior doctors for hospital waiting lists is one of the most despicable things he’s said
& for the record he’s offered them a crappy real terms pay cut
If like me you stand with the junior doctors who sacrificed so much to keep us safe RT this widely
For women, singing is forbidden in Iran. This woman is bravely singing in one of Esfahan’s most historical mosques. When the security agent tried to stop her, she resisted and continued. Brave Iranian women like her will some day bring down this most anti-woman regime.
