Chikuku: Both were violent. Both influenced Marx to believe that a violent revolution followed by a dictatorship of the formerly oppressed was the only way to gain freedom (Alien and Sedition Acts in US, Reign of Terror in France). Both are a constant battle to expand freedom and to return to dictatorship.

What about the peoples opressed by the French? Catalonia, Euskadi, Normandie, Bretagne… When will they reach their own freedom?

Until Robes Pierre came along, followed by emperor Napoleon. So much for their revolution. Took quite a while to get rid of their monarchies.

You need to read about the French Revolution. It was nothing like the American Revolution.
