good thing about french revolution was guillotining the rich.

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.
