Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn on French Revolution
← Back to Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn Profile
“Did the French Revolution leave anything positive to posterity? Only the metric system.”
“In the French Revolution the scum of France succumbed to blood lust and opened the door to evil.”
“One shouldn't forget that much of what may appear positive to us today - liberality, intellectuality, humanitarianism - had all been already brought to us by the liberal, courtly absolutism, while the French Revolution which used all these words in reality did nothing more than brutally extinguish them.”
