It has been variously described as either Anarchist or Socialist in tenor depending on the ideology of the commenter. Karl Marx described it as a vindication of his Communist ideas while the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin countered that since it did not rely on a vanguard and did not seize the State or attempt to create a new revolutionary State it was actually anarchist. In a formal sense the Paris Commune of 1871 was simply the local authority council of a town or district French "commune" which exercised power in Paris for two months in the spring of 1871. But the conditions in which it was formed its controversial decrees and tortured end make it one of the more important political episodes of the time. . First Edition. Full Cloth.
