The Complete History of Communism - Part 2
The Paris Commune
Eighteen years before the Eiffel tower
there was a Paris commune
which started when the French government declared war on Prussia
which was disastrous
because the Prussians defeated the French
and marched in and took over Paris
but then the citizens of Paris rose up
and took over the city on their own
They defied the French government and the Prussians
and they declared Paris to be a commune
some say it was the most democratic society the world has ever seen
everyone took turns being defenders
education was free, rent was free
But did they make too many mistakes?
Or did they never get a chance?
Coz after 71 days they were rushed by the Prussians
working with the right wing France _________________ http://www.myspace.com/puzzletown
