I don’t even agree with your shit how am I better at it than you. How are you gonna jerk off over the rules based societal order and then claim you can ignore whatever highest court you have because you personally disagree. mfer you just reinvented feudalism again
I once had to explain the french revolution to a “classical liberal” my man that’s the ideology you say you are how have you not even heard of it
there’s a good quote from Trotsky (yes, bare with me) about how liberals disavow the French revolution and Marxists are the true inheritors of that struggle’s legacy.

well the bourgeoise got so preoccupied with it’ss new class enemy the proletariat that it entirely forgot it’s old enemy landlords
More like it became the landlords. Rent extraction is just another business now.
Shared interests in maintaining the system that puts both on top aligned them pretty quickly
well yes and no. The way the landlords charge the proletariat and bourgeoise rent massively harms capitalist profitability and productivity. People cannot afford as many commodities when they pay out all their income in rent and workers having this expense ultimately sets a floor on the minimum capitalists can pay while still having access to labour in an area
The bourgeoise didn’t get to the top with the aid of landlords they took it by force from landlords
Yes, but then they either became small scale landlords or were too preocupied with the proles demanding a fair share to be too upset with the feudal dipshits once they gutted much of their power
not saying the bourgeoise are opposed to landlords I’m saying that if someone had a good understanding of capitalism and wanted to preserve it that person would be
oh boy, that thing. Safe to say most french people have a very poor understanding of that event, because schools here teach that Robespierre was basically Stalin and that Danton was like Obama. I wish I made this up but thats literally what I was taught back in High School. Also the whole “violence bad” bullshit, skipping the fact the french monarchy was atrocious for anyone who wasnt in the clergy or the nobility.
The “two reigns of terror” quote is evergreen, and one of the best parts is that it’s from a popular non-leftist author (Twain), so libs can’t even dismiss it out of hand.
Twain was pretty left, although not communist.
