in the Paris Commune, they burned the guillotine as a symbol of bourgeois oppression. Robespierre didn't build communism, he built a literal death machine. the Jacobins who followed him did not build communism. instead, they would inspire Lenin to build a bigger death machine and falsely call it communism, which inspired Hitler to build an even larger death machine and falsely call it socialism.

beheadings may seem cathartic, but they won't build a better world.
