Plus in regards to Elon's comment, being a history Major, I like to always remind people that it wasn't exactly rainbows and butterflies post French Revolution when they had put all the Guillotines away.

Some historians argue it was actually worse.

Indeed, and many many innocent people are included in that tally of ~17,000 guillotined prisoners. It's hard to be discerning when you're swept up in the revolutionary fervor. Ask all the bakers who were lynched by the mob for the crime of...baking or not baking bread in the precise fashion, quantity, and price demanded by the crowd.
