Look back at the "ineptitude" of French King Louis XVI during the final few months of his reign.

( Not calling up a mercenary group to disperse the Paris revolt; Not leaving the country; etc.)

It seems me that these missteps and others could potentially be a small window into the true intentions of last absolute monarch of France.
I have more arguements to why this is plausible, but before fleshing them all out, what do you think?

Based on your knowledge of Louis XVI and the decisions he took during his reign, is it plausible he might have been a Republican in secret?
