Albert Hirschman writes: In the French Revolution, "the radical
counterrevolutionary discourse that soon emerged refused to distinguish
between positive and negative aspects of the French Revolution - or to
concede that there were any positive ones. Anticipating what was later to
become a slogan of the Left (la Révolution est un bloc), the early
adversaries of the Revolution considered it as a cohesive whole." (THE
RHETORIC OF REACTION, p. 4.) Much like Clémenceau and Mitterrand!
