Lol Louis XVI was very much not the last king of France. That would be [King Louis Phillipe I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Philippe_I) who ruled until about 55 years *after* Louis XVI was guillotined. Napoleon III ruled as a monarch after Louis Phillipe I too, though he called himself emperor, so I guess not technically a king of France?
Always thought it was gross that they held public executions. I get it now.
He was not the last king of France. They installed another king right after Napoleon was gone.
Please correct that title
Charles the Tenth would like a word…..
i would attend if they did one for trump
Can we import guillotines? Lots and lots of guillotines…
BRING BACK THE GUILLOTINE!
There were 3 kings and 2 emperors after him.
Hope first king of usa gets same same
When you come for the king you better not miss and do it in the town square so that everyone can see!
Careful, you’ll get a reddit warning for talking about *The National Razor*.
Whatever happened to Madame La Guillotine? Is it in a museum?
Surprise surprise Conservatism was against the revolution and for a ruling class

Don’t learn history, repeat it.
I just like the picture
The People will enjoy it more when it’s Trump and Elmo’s Turn! With Luigi as the Head executioner

Seems that people don’t want to be ruled by kings anymore
Seems like a familiar post: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FluentInFinance/s/A0mgGEidQI)
glad we have the same thought process
The post:
In 1793 the French killed the rich who made them suffer after the rich gotten richer and richer. It peaked with them killing their King.
After a “lil bit of chaos” they became a military superpower. Their government became more efficient, more than Doge can fathom. Industry and economy gained power after they got rid of the feudal structures, in which only a few were holding all the power. And the elementry ideas of equality, freedom and brotherhood for this revolution inspired democratic movements world wide.
NOT THAT THAT WOULD FIT TO THE CURRENT SITUATION… AM JUST SAYING! *Cough
If I had a nickel for every time a King was beheaded then I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
(Not 100% sure if this is true but I’m sure I’ll find out soon)
Say, that’s a nice guillotine.
hate to break it to ya but that guy was not the last king of france
Oh shit did they guillotine his feet too???
If you’re going to post a revolutionary meme, get it right. Louis XVI was far from the last king of France. He was the last king for a little bit. There was a whole restoration and then more rebellions and revolutions. Then another couple more. Then they got rid of kings for real. Read a book.
Next!
Yes please!
/r/pics be in here whispering in Americans ears
Here King, you dropped this. 🫠
America let’s goooo
Trump and Elon next!
More of this, please.
Yeah take this USA, and learn.
we need to bring this back.
OK…where are is feet?
He wasn’t the last king though…
Is that Kathy Griffith?
When numbnut tweeted that King Charles III should have tweeted back and said “Thank you”
Now that the US has a king perhaps this something to look forward to.
