It is not the origin of
democracy. That line in the West goes back as far as the Athenians, through the
Romans, the Magna Carta and the English Quiet Revolution. All of which precedes
the French Revolution. Nor does it signify the origin of totalitarianism whose
earliest versions go back to the Kingdoms of the Ancient World. What it does
represent (if you only look at its negative side) is the earliest
version of the Totalitarian Ideological State whose modern incarnations in the
20th century were responsible for a great deal of horror in contemporary times
