He was a wicked tyrant.

I am not admiring him, or celebrating him. I am just shearing what I believe is a valuable quote from him saying the truth. Tyrants can speak the truth also.

Fair enough. I agree education is better than ignorance. But Robespierre actually didn't see it that way.

Context matters. That quote said by that man is ironic. By his actions he wielded ignorance as a weapon to cause all kinds of tyranny and terror.
