Joesph Stalin did not call the average non-thinking but all emoting liberal citizens 'useful idiots' for nothing.

Fun fact: Antoinette never said "let them eat cake". That was either her mother in law (insane, at the time) or a lie cooked up by Repulican-revolutionary opponents.

Yes, but I always get a kick out of spreading the truth. Product of being a history buff.

Just a history buff? You propose TWo alternative sources of the quote!
From what I researched in a few minutes BOTH are INCORRECT. You appear to be trying to concoct a political bent to the quote.

Here is to “spreading the truth”:

At least I have source!

What political bent is there other than the truth (that the quote was used to inflame hatred for the monarchy)?

I may have been slightly incorrect about who uttered it, but that's a product of not having read any substantive material on the French Revolution for a while.

Something to the effect of the quote might have been disseminated at the time of the revolution by “French Republic” advocates.

But “Republican-revolutionary opponents” is a quite inaccurate term.

Erm...no it's not. Republicans (those in favor of replacing the monarchy with a republic, via revolution) stoked hatred for the quote and ensured it was enshrined in history.

I’m sure there is a reason the human animal does not eat slugs, and it has nothing to do with caloric content.

But where can I send you your slugs?
