No, see, the revolution created the one true revolutionary state that's a perfect expression of the People's Will(tm), so any attempt to have another revolution is clearly counterrevolutionary sabotage by lackey capitalist running dogs.

And yeah, while the French Revolution was probably a good thing in the long run, it was pretty terrible in the short run: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror

The french Revolution was also kind of a mess, they shortly after elected Napoleon as the emperor, then they became a monarchy again, then an emperor came again? I don't know it's confusing.
