I find this to be rather short sighted thinking. Yes, the immediate effect was the rise of Napoleon. But to this day, France has some of the most robust workers rights laws and policies. Their people are not afraid of protest and striking. Long term, I think the French Revolution was incredibly good as it made the upper class afraid and serves as a reminder that there are far more of us than there are them.

Then the Nazis took over and many French collaborated with them (as Stalin collaborated with Hitler 1939 to 1941).
Churchill and FDR then help liberate France.
IIUC, Charles de Gaulle then snubbed both and developed nukes.
