>>18051821The lesson of this? The revolution always turn on their fighters
>>18051821His life sounds similar to Garibaldi. People back then just liked the adventure, they thought they lived in a novel or something.
He had sex with Catherine the Great and the daughter of the british PM, look it up
>>18051939>revolution is bigger than one man, down with kings>NOOOOO not like that!
>>18051979... And?
>>18051981Kek, exactly
>>18051939which is why leftists say the american revolution wasn't a true revolution but a schism of the ruling class. I don't agree but I'm not sure exactly how they're wrong. I think of the colonial leaders as nuevo riche brutes and liberal vanguards that would support the french revolution, but maybe the fact that they were white and lording over a newly conquered country makes them ruling class, idk.
>>18052046leftists just hate white people it's not any more complicated than that.
Pyotr Wrangel had a pretty kino life, known as the last White general. Unfortunately, he suspiciously died in Belgium, watching Russia remain under Bolshevik rule.

>>18052046The United States did not have a large Urban Generational population, not like France did. There was no previous National history to reminisce. >>18051981Even some Jacobins had doubts about the revolution before it even started.
>>18052046>I don't agree but I'm not sure exactly how they're wrong.They're inherently wrong because the Americans clearly did break away and form a different system of government than the parliamentary monarchy of the UK. You can't single out the American Revolution as not being a revolution due to being instigated by the bourgeoisie when the vast majority of 18th and 19th century revolutions in other places also were. Any commie who makes that claim is doing so just as a means to denigrate the United States and its history.
