    Eh, I’d argue the French revolution ultimately was a good thing. Introduced the metric system, ended the aristocracy’s power in a ton of places, and so on.

      Most revolutions in the long term are ultimately a good thing.

      You don’t get revolutions with out things being very very bad, so any change is almost always good.

      Even if it takes a few attempts and misteps on a long enough time scale you would be hard pressed to find any revolution that was truly bad.

      The entire reason revolutions are considered bad is because to get there and the process of is so insanely destructive.
