The French revolution is far from the most well-regarded outcome, & yet, I think it was preferable to no revolution, at the time… I agree that having a knowledgeable populace is essential to social stability.

The French Revolution led to Napoleon.

It was nice to get rid of one set of autocrats... but it just led directly into another. Its not like they traded up.

  It did lead to one, but he didn’t last forever, & again, I think it’s pretty hard to argue they were better off before than after.
