RE EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY
"RE going back, for a moment, to 1776, etc, the Europeans, and the Czars, scorned French foreign policy, after 1789, for the same valid reasons that they scorned American foreign policy both before and after 1776."
One source for this, the one I used for the remark above, is Kennan's two volume work on European diplomacy in the 19th Century.
He makes scattered references to France, mainly, in that work, but the remark would presumably have applied to the US, were it a topic of the work.

RE LIBERTY EQUALITY FRATERNITY
It seems clear from Piketty's exposition that we are moving back toward low growth, hereditary, aristocracies (plutocracies).
The big difference is that, where once the West, and its elites, had an advantage over other civilizations and theirs , that is no longer possible given Western driven globalization.

There never actually was an enlightened middle class here; there was merely an accidental, unenlightened, middle class.
After, say, 1800, in Europe, there emerged a specialized, literate, middle class, but not an enlightened one, even then, even there.

RE DK'S CURRENT POST RE THE AMERICAN SO CALLED REVOLUTION
"An excess of governmental authority provoked the revolution that began in 1775; a deficit of it led to the writing of the Constitution. The Founders, in short, had learned from experience that either too much authority or too little could be fatal to liberty."
This is not my view of the situation back then, factually, at all.
In this connection, I follow scholars who argue that a lack of authority and political structure had precipitated opportunities for colonial self interest through rebellion. Of course they had an ideology, largely radical Whig, to conform to this desire.
Professor Allison at Suffolk, follows a long line of these scholars, and does teaching company lectures on this subject.
A deficit of authority, and of overall structure, of rather long standing, had made the rebellion, not revolution, possible.
It was not a revolution, because, by definition, nothing whatsoever much, structurally, happened in Britain as a result of the colonial rebellion.
