Where did napoleon go wrong and was the french empire a justified entity for the time ?

Yes, and October revolution inevitably led to thermdor.

Isn't that just trotskyism?

Trotskyism implies that if, by Chance, Trotsky would consolidate power, the USSR would be systematically different and fare much greater. I believe it would be functionally similar, and see no indications it would be better or worse. Overall, it was necessary for the USSR to become like that in this period of time.

Basically logistics, he stretched his supply lines too thin in Russia.
Was it the best possible outcome of the French Revolution? We can't know for sure, but it brought stability and prosperity to France, which allowed a country predominantly led by commons to achieve material dominance over other countries led by nobles, and even though they lost, thanks to the Napoleonic Wars eventually the commons succeeded and won the class war.

this isn't true tho
Trotsky was pretty explicit about the inevitability of soviet thermidor in the given material conditions and was very clearly against an great man theory of history bullshit. He even says that if Lenin had not died when he did and lived longer while some things may have taken longer and certain incidents not occurred as they did the situation would have developed in the same way nonetheless.

Didn't Napoleon III slaughter the Parisian Commune in Bloody Week?

The Paris Commune was bound to fail. Even Marx wrote about it.

Napoleon III had already abdicated the throne quite a while before the Commune was declared. France was a republic when the Commune happened.

he was a farce though and gave up the throne from depression after being played by Bismarck and losing at Sedan.

Source? My understanding was that Napoleon sought to destroy the British by appealing to Polish nationalists in an attempt to discourage Russians from trading with the British.

Lassalle go be a Jewish nigger somewhere else

Of all the things that socialism stands against that people try to force upon it to create a turd position, (markets, religion, private property, racism, nationalism, caste) I understand bloodlines the fucking least.

Uhhhh what? Are you comparing Trotsky to Robespierre, because that is the only way the metaphor makes sense, i.e. the Jacobins were ejected from office/killed, Hébertistes/sans-culottes were suppressed, etc. Napoleon's rule was extremely short-lived and was immediately followed by a Bourbon restoration. For this metaphor to make any sense, we would have needed:
Instead we had:
Face it, you're just mad your guy wasn't the leader

brainlet

Explain to me exactly what actions were the same. All you have is extremely vague "power changed hands" nonsense

Funny how revolutionary France turned into a dictatorship just like Soviet Union.

The Russian Revolution wasn't a Communist Revolution, it was a Jacobin Revolution.
