The means (the revolution) did not achieve the ends (freedom and prosperity for the French citizens, which was the goal).
I was talking specifically about that part of the Revolution called " The Terror " which was a means to an end ( that being to defend the revolution from counter-revolutionaries ). Now some people, you included, would no doubt find that unacceptable. Others, like me, find it acceptable.
Please do not presume what I think is or is not acceptable. I don't do that to you either.
