The guillotine is an evil capitalist invention. It put a skilled craftsman out of a job and replaced him with a lower paid unskilled person. This unskilled person then had the the capability of mass production with an increase in the quality of the end product and efficiency creating greater profits for the capitalist owners of the guillotine.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

No matter what method used these cretins don`t realize they would be among the first to suffer its fate in the leftist utopia they dream of.


Reminds me of the moonbat's worship of Che Guevara. They really have no clue what he was about. Carlos Santana is so proud of his hand embroidered "Che" shirt, but the fool has no idea that his beloved Che would have put him in front of a firing squad.

Kentuck is such an outright tool.  Jackpine Radical is correct, and the invention had nothing to do with the intention of killing the French aristocracy.  It was simply invented as a certain and painless (As far as anyone knows) tool of execution for criminals.  The French Reign of Terror scum simply seized upon it after it was invented and used it wholesale for their own blood-soaked brand of 'Progressive' retail politics.

The guillotine was invented as a tool of the State (at that time, the King) to punish criminals (all debates on the justice of pre-revolutionary France aside).

Later, it was taken over and used by the revolutionaries to dispose of their enemies.

As if the hippiecrats of 1968 had succeeded in their revolution, and began to employ electric chairs to destroy decent people.

I always thought the guillotine was developed because up to that time they had a guy that would take a very large axe to someone's neck and sometimes it was quite messy and not kill the executionee outright. If I remember correctly, the guillotine was considered to be quite humane at the time.

Too lazy to look it up.

I heard that it was customary to tip the executioner so that he would make the beheading cleanly and quickly.

The DUmmies are something else, when a cop killer gets a lethal injection they cry their eyes out for days, yet they want to pull out the guillotine and behead people for the crime of being rich.
Remember, DUmp vermin view the entire world through a political filter.

An executed cop killer, without exception, means a lost democrat vote.

Now, don't any of you forget, it's REALLY the conservatives who use hateful rhetoric specfically designed to openly encourage violence! THEY'RE the ones engaging in stochastic terrorism!
For all these ignorant liberal idiots who love romanticizing the French Revolution and pretending that it was just the king and queen and a bunch of despicable, pure- evil rich noblemen who got guillotined, and who wish such a thing would happen here today, here's a news flash: That's not what it was really like!
 In real life, the French Revolution was a hideous explosion of lawlessness, barbarism, and savagery run rampant. When the bloodthirsty mobs caught one of those rich noblemen that you lib idiots think were evil incarnate, they didn't just send him to the guillotine; They beheaded his entire family, including his children, and cheered as each and every severed head was hoisted up (Again, including the children's heads).
Innumerable women were raped.
Churches and monasteries, many of which were centuries old, were desecrated and burned.
Priests and other clergymen were hacked to death by the mobs for no reason whatsoever.
Then there's the flat- out inhuman story of what happened to the Princess Lamballe. She was a kind, virtuous, and noble woman, who had been friends with Marie Antoinette since they were children. When the Revolution broke out, the Princess was captured, and put on trial for trumped- up charges they made up on the spot, where they demanded that she, on pain of death, declare her allegiance to the new order in France and renounce/ declare her hatred of the former king and queen (Who had been ousted and imprisoned by that point, but not yet executed). Lamballe said that she'd agree to the former of the two conditions, but not the latter, because she knew Louis and Marie, and loved them both. The people presiding over this grotesque perversion of justice responded to this by tossing the Princess Lamballe into the street, where the rabid mobs gang- raped her and then literally tore her limb from limb. One of her legs was shot out of a cannon. A rioter took her heart, baked it, and ate it. Her head and genitals were stuck on poles and hoisted in front of the window to Marie Antoinette's prison cell while the mob shouted for the former queen to "Kiss your lover!".
Things got so bad that eventually the intellectuals who had inspired and supported the French Revolution either were forced to flee the country when they realized how out of control it had gotten (i.e. Thomas Paine), or were themselves beheaded by the very same mobs that they had incited and stirred up but lost control of (i.e. Robespierre).
This is the sort of thing the DUmmies want to happen in the US, never realizing that they will eventually wind up meeting the same fate as Robespierre were it to happen.

Good point. To the DUmmies, being wealthy is an act deserving of death; but committing murder, rape, and kidnapping are not.

That is what I thought i had read but wasn't sure if the book was fiction. Frank explained it.

No, that wasn't fiction, but it was a little bit different than that.

The family of the condemned, if they cared and if they had the means, paid to have a professional axeman do the job, rather than a cheaper amateur axeman.

Being a decapitator wasn't a minimum-wage job.

From how I understand it (and I could be wrong), Paine initially supported the French Revolution (So much so that he lived in France for a while and wrote countless articles in favor of it) because he had been duped into believing that it was fundamentally simlar to the American Revolution in terms of its goals and similar factors, and he felt that his experience and personal guidance through his writings could help it be equally successful. Eventually, however, as the anarchy and bloodshed grew worse and worse and the mobs became harder and harder for Robespierre and his ilk to control, Paine realized that he would almost certainly be executed sooner or later if he stayed, so he got the hell out of France as quickly as he could.

Not to mention France was somewhat of a reliable ally during the Revolutionary War.

I just want to add, that the DUmmies practiced one of their most annoying habits in their thread.  Everybody answers Kentuck's question, in the same way, without bothering to read the comments that came before.  So, you get 20,000 posts of "for a humane way to kill."   Why don't they read first?
