The republic of "liberte egalite fraternite" held up the King's aunts for days until the National Assembly decided they could leave for Rome. Is it not ironic that those governments "dedicated to freedom" are the most repressive in history. Today's China and yesterday's Soviet Union remind me so much of the the First French Republic. Hypocrites and murderers!
It all depends on what one means by "freedom". Freedom for whom, to do what?
