What is /his/ opinion on French Revolution? Specifically, various

>>2716791
It was a revolution of broken ideas that if succeeded, would've led to French Stalinism/Maoism

The commune was not altogether leftist, its popular base was made up of plenty of simple nationalists who figured that something perfidious had gone down to have them lose to the prussians (I mean really it's hard to wrap ones head around just how incompetent Napoleon III's performance was) and policywise a lot of it was just stuff that was popular with working class parisians, rather than springing from avowed socialism. In terms of iconography, most of it shares heritage with the french tradition of revolution.
I mean, it was leftist, but keeping in mind the different folks and ideas that went into it lets us avoid thinking like the conspiracy theorists of the time who supposed IWA freemasons were to blame.

Figuratively the beginning of the end of western civilization, and the church has been persecuted in France ever since

>>2716826
Some manchild edgelord like Varg, probably

>>2716815
If that's the case, why did they erect that eyesore of a basilica on top of the communes dead?

>>2716850
When basilicas are built atop the graves of all communards, then maybe we can talk about the recovery of western civilization from the """""enlightenment"""""

>>2716866
Oh so anything not going 100% the way you want it is collapsing civilization
Jeez, no wonder dinosaurs like action francaise exist

>>2716820
An populistic authoritarian leader will always be more powerful than small groups who don't understand the political game.

I'm still mad at those fuckers for burning Jeanne d'Arc's portrait and banner during their temper tantrum.

>>2716984
Don't forget Cluny

Anarcho-syndicalism wasn't a thing in 1871.

>French Revolution

Pick one

>>2716815
Sounds good to me.

>>2716791
The French Revolution had its own Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, but in the end her Stalin won, and he conquered half of Europe as an autocratic dictator.

>the church is "western civilization"

> get rid of single person ruler
> let another one in power

>>2716815
Absolute bullshit, if anything the Commune affirmed the push throughout Western history toward greater personal autonomy and less state coercion

The state is now in more control of your (the average citizen's) life than ever before.

>>2716815
Persecuted or kept from power?

>>2718939
>communism
>having a state

Read literally any book

>>2718939
thats because of specialization, not increased state authority

Are there any good intro texts to the Paris Commune?

>>2719158
Whoa there, are you trying to tell me that communism isn't "whatever the USSR and China were doing"?? Careful, don't want to educate me too much.

the greatest and most important and influencial event in history

just so you know, during socialism it was pictured as the herald of the red revolution, which is obviously wrong
congratulations on being a commie

Why do we still follow the pointless and arbitrary 24 hour day?
Time, like any other quantifiable measurement should be decimilised.
