I’m probably getting the numbers wrong, but the rough counter to the terror accusations is that the French Revolution executed like 3,000 people in 3 years. The reactionary reprisals to the Paris Commune almost a century later, executed some 30,000 people in 3 months. Like the scale of reactionary violence is always worse.
