“One can’t expect to make an omelet without breaking eggs.” With those words in 1790, Maximilian Robespierre welcomed the horrific French Revolution that had begun the year before. Robespierre and his guillotine broke eggs by the thousands in a vain effort to impose a utopian society based on the seductive slogan “liberté, égalité, fraternité.” But, alas, Robespierre never made a single omelet.

As with Robespierre, no omelets came from the egg-breaking efforts of Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, and Benito Mussolini, either.
