    Uneducated people overthrow governments. Educated people involve themselves so they make a better, longer lasting, more stable and effective government in the long run.

    There’s this consistent delusion that if we just burn everything down and start anew that this time it will all work out for the best.

    It hasn’t worked for the past two millenia, it’s not going to magically work now. All it does is give rise to new fascist states.

      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.
