THE FRENCH REVOLUTION WAS AN EXAMPLE OF ANARCHO-COMMUNISM BEFORE KARL MARX CODIFIED COMMUNISM; IT WAS, ON THE SURFACE, OPPRESSED WORKERS RISING UP TO MAKE ALL MEN EQUAL, FREE, AND FRATERNAL. IT SOON CAME TO BE DOMINATED BY MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE WHO INSTITUTED THE REIGN OF TERROR AND BEHEADED HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES — NOT ONLY NOBLES BUT ALSO MANY OF THE WORKERS WHO MADE THE REVOLUTION. AS THE CHAOS BECAME UNBEARABLE, ONE MAN BEGAN TO RISE TO POWER —NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. NAPOLEON DECLARED HIMSELF EMPEROR. THEN HE ATTEMPTED TO CONQUER EUROPE TO SPREAD THE REVOLUTION, AND PLUNGED EUROPE INTO WAR LASTING TWELVE YEARS. IN THE END, FRANCE’S MONARCHY WAS RESTORED. ANARCHO-COMMUNISM FAILED AS IT ALWAYS WILL.
