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.

No, the best thing was that it led to the rise of Napoleon.

well not sure that was the best thing tho it was good. The coalitions formed from the monarchs of europe to stop napoleon because they were worried the revolution would spread and they'd get guillotined. Napoleon was a great general and had a great mind so it made sense he would lead the french army. But if it wasn't him someone else would have risen to the challenge and when men are fighting for a good cause they are willing to fight. Napoleon still eventually lost though (the whole invading russia in winter thing again).
