In 1871, the Franco-Prussian Conflict was raging. The employees of Paris, sick and tired of a government that had started the hated conflict, and the exploitation, repression, and maltreatment of "their" government, took matters into their own hands. They instituted the Paris Commune - of, by, and for the workers. Observing these occasions through news studies of the time, one of the most important thinkers of the 19th hundred years, Karl Marx, made three speeches to the International Workmen's Connection. He reported and analyzed this personnel' revolt against their experts, with thoughts that are still fresh and unfortunately relevant today. The 1891 introduction by Fredrick Engels has some very spooky passages about the inequality of the classes not only in monarchical Europe, but also in the "democracy" of the US. In light of 21st-century American occasions, this material implies that the greater things change, the greater they don't. Vive la revolution!
