Being 'brutal' is NEVER justified...Finally, the revolution murdered its mother, Maximilien Robespierre.
Personally I've never known anyone of intellectual and moral quality that didn't abominate that whole time.
Hear the dumb beast speak, while you consider what actually happened due to him :
"
We wish in our country that morality may be substituted for egotism, probity for false honour, principles for usages, duties for good manners, the empire of reason for the tyranny of fashion, a contempt of vice for a contempt of misfortune, pride for insolence, magnanimity for vanity, the love of glory for the love of money, good people for good company, merit for intrigue, genius for wit, truth for tinsel show, the attractions of happiness for the ennui of sensuality, the grandeur of man for the littleness of the great, a people magnanimous, powerful, happy, for a people amiable, frivolous and miserable; in a word, all the virtues and miracles of a Republic instead of all the vices and absurdities of a Monarchy. "
