Publisher's Synopsis

The Paris Commune is a political treatise written by Karl Marx, one of the most influential philosophers and economists of the 19th century. The book explores the events surrounding the Paris Commune, a revolutionary government that ruled Paris from March to May 1871, and which was eventually suppressed by the French government.In this book, Marx analyzes the social and economic conditions that led to the rise of the Paris Commune, and examines the political and ideological struggles that took place during its brief existence. He also provides a critical assessment of the Commune's achievements and shortcomings, and argues that it represented a new form of proletarian democracy that challenged the traditional structures of power in France.The Paris Commune is considered a seminal work in Marxist theory, and has been widely studied and debated by scholars and activists around the world. It offers a powerful critique of capitalist society and the state, and provides a vision of a more just and equitable social order based on the principles of workers' self-management and collective ownership of the means of production.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
