Although there are probably other hereditary tyrants in history who have deserved it more, Maximilian I seems the most deserving of this list. While the other three probably committed more than their fair share of crimes during their respective rules (good monarchs are not usually subject to violent revolution), I dislike the idea of being on the same side as Levellers, Jacobins, or Bolsheviks.

Pretty sure the Levellers were classically liberal republicans unless you mean the Diggers.

And I dislike that you place the Levellers in the same bracket as that brace of psychopaths.

I mean classically liberal in the broader Lockean/Whiggish sense, not the way libertarians mean it.

The fact Maximilian was utterly misguided but somewhat "well meaning" doesn't change the basic fact he was a foreign-imposed tyrant.

Juarez himself sumed up him best: "he knew Mexico only from the map".

Wait... So KCDem is related to royalty and thinks poor people are bitter because we are discussing some infamous events?

And how is this thread at all inappropriate? 

At least we now know KCDem is a closet monarchist who wants to subject your family to his familys divine right to rule.

Your brand of trolling is a strange one, but I'll bite. What royalty are you claiming to be related to?

An individual in the working class in just another ant. Useless in the grand scheme of things.

What lineage are you claiming to be of, again? I noticed you avoided the earlier question in this regard.
