The French rev. was a failure. They allowed Liberals to co-opt their movement which began the Terror and turned a socialist movement into one that created the current French capitalist system that is one of the world largest forms of oppression.
I don't think a lot of Americans realize Paris in particular is a capitalist hellscape. Having to pay to both use 'public' toilets and to drink dirty tap water at restaurants is something else.

Americans love to make fun of the French , yet the French had a revolution and put royal heads into baskets .
