Eliott Afriat lol then you forget or failed to read your history. Louis XIV, the greatest son France ever had, finalizing what Richileu had set in motion decades earlier, united France, making her, with the help of Vauban, what she is today--the bastion fortresses the latter erected along the furtherest reaches of french continental dominon at every point of geo-strategic defense, have defined the borders of our country since.
The revolutionaries, who, what they lacked in civic diligence, they made up for in political shortsightedness, accomplished nothing constructive of any lasting significance within the nation they plundered of centuries human capital built developing art, science and philosophy to their zenith, all wasted in pursuit of Hell on Earth, and who in their short reign of terror, proved so inept and malfiescent, that they ruined what was, in the century before, Europe's superpower; a status Napoleon restored France to in the same span the Jacobins had squandered the nation's blood and treasure on failed liberal policies. Why the king and Ancient Regime in general, seems in posterity, like the work of some great saint when you compare their foibles to those who succeed and then exceeded our worst monarchs in brazen stupidity.
But by all means, do no let me disabuse you of your taudry delusions with these unflattering truths, when you're already so convinced of such titilatting myths! I wouldn't dream of making a recalcitrant socialist come to grips with reality when he is so much more useful to me politically as an example of invincible ignorance that I am able mock with such ease for the benefit of the public whenever I please.
