"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Hello everybody.

I must confess it's been years since I studied the French Revolution.

One of the periods I remember is The Terror, which was reportedly led by Maximilien Robespierre.

However, I would like to know what you, know about his role during the French Revolution. Was he a brutal 'dictator'? Are stories about him accurate or exaggerated?

Kind regards
