The event that would best support a communist interpretation during eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French history is the Reign of Terror. This period (1793-1794) during the French Revolution involved radical social and political upheaval, characterized by mass executions of perceived enemies of the revolution and widespread social reform aimed at creating an egalitarian society. The goals of the revolutionaries during the Reign of Terror—such as the abolition of feudal privileges and the redistribution of wealth—align closely with communist ideals of class struggle and the pursuit of a classless society.
