Fun fact: the doctor in question was opposed to the death penalty, and proposed the guillotine thinking he could at least make it more humane. He deeply regretted this action and spent the rest of his life campaigning against it. His family was so ashamed that they changed their surname.

Good article. Long, but good. As it was published in 2019, it references the then current events.

THANK YOU. The constant glazing of The Reign of Terror on lemmy is sickening. It was named like that for a reason.

I’m gonna blow your mind. We don’t actually want to literally eat rich people either.

We can learn from it, the good and the bad.

I’ve thought of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation process as example of what is encouraged by Crimethinc here and up until now as a wonderful role model.
But today we have the white supremacists who escaped the South African revolution recreating apartheid in the US and can’t help but think it would have been better if one of them had survived.
