>supposed to be the posterboy of democracy>was one of the most centralized states during monarchy compared to peers. This is literally cited as an advantage.>killed their king and replaced with Napoleon. Did more conscription and even more centralization. Again this was cited as an advantage over peers>even today it is more centralized in system compared to other EuropeansI feel lied to.
>>18283494For democracy to exist, you need a level of centralization and national institutions, and public trust in the goverment to make it work in large countries, not just local city-states.
>>18283494It's more that their intellectuals were behind the development of modern representative democracy (Rousseau, Lafayette, Voltaire, etc.) but their principles never came to be applied in France itself until later on. The French Revolution was a radical terror regime and it was followed by Napoleon installing a counter-revolutionary dictatorship and larping as Emperor.The ideas of the French Revolution (Republican Representative Democracy, separation of powers, etc.) were picked up by Thomas Payne, Jefferson and others and actually implemented in America.
>>18283586It was implemented its just that representative parliamentary democracy is fucking garbage. Federalism and local self determination is far more important than some easily corrupted institution in some rat infested capital.
>>18283494I've had some frogs unironically tell me that since only around 2% of french population work in agriculture, the remaining 98% should be encouraged to move to a handful of cities, since cities vote more "liberal" and it's more efficient and ecological to live that way or something. Urbanites are waging a war against humanity.[spoiler]They have largely succeeded.[/spoiler]
>>18283494>Fraternity: French inheritance is given to Jews, Africans, and Arabs. Diverse European nationalities and cultures native to the territory are crushed under Parisian rule>Equality: Jews, Arabs, and Africans have more rights than you.>Liberty: foreigners have the liberty to invade your country. If you have a problem, go to jail or pay a fine
>>18283494>Nooooo nation-state republic is not real democracy>Real democracy is FEUDALISM actuallyWhy are angloids so retarded?
>>18285562No such thing as a democracy exists or has ever existed in human history, you're not the source of political power, you're just throwing papers in a box every 4 years and pick from a list of names chosen not by you, but by oligarchs to represent their financial interests.
>>18283494france fell in 1800, its corpse now being picked apart by demons who never should have been let out of hell
I have no earthly idea why you think democracy is opposed to centralization.
