Okay, let’s review what’s just happened here.
I quoted Furet.
Then I told you I quoted Furet.
Then you recommended that I read Furet.
I’ve (fairly obviously) read Furet, but thanks for homme-splaining the Third Estate to me. The entire point I was making is that the Estates are dead. (And before you try to claim that, some-crazy-how, they’re not really dead: Which lord’s land are you currently working? Which monastery runs your particular town? Are they Dominician or Franciscan?)
And I neither endorsed nor condemned the motivations of that (or any other) war. I referred strictly to “the acts of individuals during war time.” Every war, no matter the “motivation” suffers from the acts of individuals. But you talked for a long time and that sure did make it seem, if I squint really hard, like you actually addressed anything I said.
So you went from a quote romanticizing the Jacobins (apparently with no motivation) to backing out from having any position at all. Well done.
There was a moment in time before the revolution where the king was gearing to extend the tax further on the first two estates, then a bunch of self-motivated fools decided to forego that in order to gain more power, temporary as it was, for themselves. Despite centuries of revolutions, the super-rich remain untaxed and the organized minorities are vested in destroying life as it is for the working class. Any dissent was seen as counter-revolutionary and thus heresy.
The parallels to today are striking, hence my sarcastic original comment. Screw the Jacobins.
