“Every totalitarian terror state has been consciously inspired by the French Revolution and Red Terror”
Every democratic and freedom-loving state has also been inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Also everything good and everything bad in the Western World since the Rise of the Roman Empire, has been influenced from the Roman Empire. This includes the czars of Russia being called “Czars” (from Caesar), and the Senate of the United States being called a “Senate”.
Saying that a world-smashing thing helps inspire subsequent things, both bad and good, isn’t a testament to its badness—it’s a testament to its importance.
