France and Europe

After 237 years of this failed experiment, it is time to reverse the madness of the Anti-French Revolution.

Anti-French, yes. Because it waged war on everything that was France: its faith, its king, its provinces, its languages, its trades, its parishes. It called this progress.

The principle was simple: erase everything that stood between man and the State. The family, the local community, the Church, the guilds. Leave only an isolated individual facing a power without limits.

Since then, the regimes have changed – empires, monarchies, five republics. The machine never has. Paris decides, the provinces obey. The State educates your children, takes what you earn, and tells you what to think.

And the Revolution did not stop at France. The Bolsheviks saw themselves as Jacobins. Lenin took the Terror as his model. Communism is the child of 1789 – we Poles knew that child at close range.

We defeated the child. France still lives under the parent.

Undoing the Revolution does not mean turning back the clock. It does not mean a Terror in reverse. It means giving the French back what was taken from them: their communes, their schools, their money, their faith. Putting the State back in its place – beneath society, not above it.

In 1789, the French were told: the State will set you free.

237 years later, it is time to free yourselves from the State – and become French again. 🇫🇷⚜️
