(This is my answer from Quora)
That is a great question. If Napoleon had gotten his way he would have created a meritocracy where people could get ahead by virtue of their talents. Perhaps Federal Reserve paper money wouldn’t be the currency but actual gold. Perhaps there wouldn’t be a small group with all the advantages propped up in a rigged system. Napoleon would’ve established better cultural institutions. Maybe we wouldn’t be lied to so very frequently by the media today. Perhaps we wouldn’t have to endure so many divide and conquer tactics thrown at us. Napoleon’s efforts were highly ideological. He really did mean to benefit the people.
