Dudes- y'all would've been first against the wall! Cheeses look good though.
The French Revolution wasn't a rejection of the rich, it was a rejection of the aristocracy. Also the French Revolution was made up of various episodes and you're focusing on the Reign of Terror which lasted about a year. Many of the revolutionaries were the bourgeoisie and, in fact, the real force behind the revolution.

Yeah this is partly true and I was hoping no one would call me on it. Those guys lost control with a quickness though.
Although I think the argument could be made that the seersucker/Galatoires/uptown landowner class is closer to aristocracy than bourgeoisie. I just don't feel like making it.
ETA: Also, hi Prof. Martin!
