This brought to you by one too many American Internet commenter armchair-historianing on the French Revolution:

The Revolution was not worse than the regime it replaced. The crimes committed by the Revolution were not worse than the statu quo that existed before.

Because nothing is worse than denying that human beings are equal. No system is worse than one claiming that the leader is the leader because he has a god-given, hereditary mandate to it.
