what is /leftypol/'s thoughts on Robespierre?

He should've killed more people

he got what the youngings call a generational run, dude just fucked shit up and then died, like che guevara, a fucking legend.

Just like how George Washington didn’t kill enough British people Robespierre didn’t kill enough French people.

REMINDER THAT:
>Robespierre was not some "dictator"
>The Republic had collective leadership, Robespierre even got voted down by those calling for harsher punishments
>Danton was indeed massively corrupt and got what was coming to him
>France was legitimately filled with bitter First/Second Estate counter-revolutionaries who wanted to topple the delicate Republic
>Being robbed of the "paradise" they once had, these counter-revolutionary elements were indeed plotting extremely violent conspiracies to demolish the Republic
>The Republic was forced to choose harsher justice in the face of harsh economic and military aggression in an urgent and desperate situation that demanded discipline to maintain the new experiment
>The people had support for Robespierre and saw the executions of those ghouls King Louis and Marie Antoinette as a good thing
>The Thermidorian scum were mostly corrupt bureaucrats scared of Robespierre's and his faction's iron justice
>The Termidorian scum heaped on a load of garbage on Robespierre's grave to cover for their own role in the Reign of Terror and justify their power
>Robespierre was known as "The Incorruptible" while scum such as Danton have been proven to accept bribe after bribe
>Girondins were terrorist counter-revolutionaries
>300,000 suspects were tried; only 17,000 were officially executed. There being no fair justice is a myth
>The trials were as fair as they could be considering the conspiracies that had to be put down
>The death toll is inflated to paint Robespierre as evil
>Robespierre was remembered fondly by the French people for decades and decades afterwards, that fat fuck Danton had to be rehabilitated by the 3rd Republic's propaganda due to being despised by the masses

It’s hard to judge pre-Marxist political figures by today’s standards. But he didn’t kill enough aristocrats.
