| Oct 27, 2016 at 19:15 | comment | added | Luís Henrique | Complete quote: "The purposeless massacres perpetrated since the June and October events, the tedious offering of sacrifices since February and March, the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror." So the context is that of White Terror: the mindless violence of counterrevolution feasting upon the vanquished. | |

| Aug 28, 2016 at 6:00 | comment | added | Mr. Cooperman | It's hard to imagine he wrote the phrase "revolutionary terror" without being at least partly in mind of the "reign of terror" in revolutionary France. | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 0:12 | comment | added | user6917 | i'm not taking it personally, please stop apologising. i wasn't presenting it "as a stand alone claim", in any way @mobileink | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 0:11 | comment | added | user20153 | please don't take it personally. I just think the bit you quoted is the conclusion of a complex and rather fuzzy argument, and should not be presented as a stand-alone claim. That's all. | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 0:11 | comment | added | user6917 | it's not cherry picking in the pejorative. i linked to the article and included what i was concerned with. the article is long enough to warrant not quoting it in full | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 0:05 | comment | added | user20153 | by "cherry-picking" I mean picking out a bit, the "cherry", that serves your purposes, without regard to context. I don't mean that you intentionally meant to deceive, although cherry-picked often do this. More like, you quoted only a part of the whole, and quoting the whole gives the part a different meaning. not intended as a nasty. | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 23:58 | comment | added | user6917 | @mobileink i have no idea what you mean by cherry picking, sorry. it's a short text, and i included the conclusion / point i was asking about | |

| Aug 27, 2016 at 22:47 | comment | added | user20153 | ok, you linked to it, you should have cited it imho. in any case you have cherry-picked the quote, out of context. bad! | |

| Aug 27, 2016 at 1:24 | comment | added | user4894 | Does he mean what Mao and Stalin did? Were those deformations? Or the natural consequence of wanting the state to control what people do? | |
