After a revolution. There is a difference between the two at least in terms of popular support. A revolt can BECOME a revolution, obviously, but...
[But some do not, obviously. As far as the actual statement goes, Enjolras does snort.]
And a difference between revolution and republic. I would point out that the first revolution did what it set out to do. The republic...it may have carried things too far after a point. Sad, what a people feel they must resort to when they have long been pushed. I fear it was the wave of terror that inspired a lack of discrimination when it came to invoking reprisals against those who had harmed the republic, or were perceived to have.
It made us unsteady, of course, the greatest nation in the world, but to stand on such a foundation as could so easily be crumpled when we turned amongst ourselves...There is an inevitability in that, I think.
But when a Revolution, comprised of those including la Garde nationale arises...certainly that speaks to the idea that more than angry students and workers are ready.
Would you suggest that we cannot learn from the past? That we are not capable of achieving greatness as we learn from the failure as well as the success of those who've come before? How limited do you propose that any people is, that advancement may not come?
