I claim the French Revolution was necesary and laudable. Napoleon was a counter-revolutionary.
I would think long and hard about using the French revolution as a template. If you look a bit harder in history i am sure you will find much better examples.
Where are you going with this, would you decry the bolshevik revolution in Russia?
