Though much maligned in these circles, the French revolution and liberalism of the 19th century had many positive features.

No, it didn't.

Free speech, meritocracy, the scientific mindset, eugenics and individual rights and liberties were all positive aspects.

Free speech has never existed. Meritocracy, the scientific mindset and eugenics were a part of progressivism, which was different from liberalism. And individual rights and liberties will always lead to degeneracy.

It seems to me you just want to go back to an earlier version of liberalism. As if we won't simply end up where we are now again. Blaming all degeneracy on Marxism is stupid. The fact is that today's liberalism is much more degenerate than any Marxist society has ever been. If you really think like this then you're a racist liberal, not a dissident.

good thing about french revolution was guillotining the rich.

What if they become wealthy from their merits?

What about a wealth redistribution measure, or a parallel fiscal tool that is built and then transitioned to?

Why must you resort to murder?

tried and failed

it's like how when a king was deposed, in the past they'd want to kill his offspring or else they'd ty to retake power some day. Or in the wild, when a lion kills his rival lion to take over the pride, he kills all of the cubs. People don't give up power willingly.
