What needs to be added is that the people who sat on "the right" of the assembly were the conservatives/monarchists/theocrats or representatives of the 'ancien regime'.

	In other words you are either fuckingly ignorant, or playing retarded (something that really suits you)


	Last but not least, whatever crimes the 'new regime' commited they were simply the continuation of the crimes of the old regime.

	lol - so the only valuable thing you've ever said is that you 'were' a leftist. The fact that you were a leftist and now are a fuckingly retarded, far-right fascist is pretty much a mathematical identity. 

	You could be a bit more entertaining if you managed to actually come up with half a thought on your own instead of robotically parroting nonsense... parroting nonsense like a good 'ex' leftist. 	

	But then again you *are* a leftist, that is an unthinking idiot. 


>Which gave us science, technology, industrialization, and empire.

	notice that's exactly what a 'progressive' socialist would say. 

	So the almost complete identity between left and right, or between western left-wing fascism and right-wing fascism is divinely embodied in fucktard James.
