The West needs a French Revolution
No thanks.
It was a proto-communist slaughter that totally destroyed France for two decades and led to the installation of a military autocracy, which itself was followed by a century of revolving government styles and revolutionary aftershocks. France didn't stabilize politically until the 20th Century.
Plus, outside of overturning the apple cart generally on the Ancien Regime, the Revolution itself didn't accomplish many of its goals. Hell, France returned to monarchy three separate times. The lasting reforms to France's economy, property laws, etc., did not come until the Revolution was over.
Major pass on that.
