However much one may compare the <a href="https://c.im/tags/RussianRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussianRevolution</span></a> with the Great French Revolution, the former can never be transformed into a repetition of the latter."<br>In the <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrenchRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrenchRevolution</span></a> of 1789, France experienced what Marxists called a "bourgeois-democratic revolution"—a regime was established wherein the bourgeoisie overthrew the existing French feudalistic system.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s monitoring student visa holders’ social media posts and aiming to deport people who criticize the U.S. government.
