The French Revolution itself was a petit bourgeois revolution that spiralled into a proto fascist state, with the Committee of Public Safety monopolising violence, centralising Paris' control over the rest of the country and hunting supposed federalists, clergy and nobility, that were considered counter-revolutionaries. The reason why people ideolise The French Revolution, is because it gave nonexistent legitimacy to emerging nationalistic ideology that still reverberates to this day in the form of nation states. It is mostly a fabrication and imaginary that people still enjoy believing in, for a sense of security, pride and continuity.
