What is Veeky Forums opinion on French Revolution?
Specifically, various ideologies presented in commune. Was it all 'leftist'? Interested in how diverse the commune was, their politics, and how the various factions ideals impact certain ideologies today.

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
How so? I always felt that commie agrarianism could have worked if implemented early before industrialization
who was that guy who burned churches and put signs over graveyards saying 'death is an eternal sleep'
the french revolution was so metal damn nigga
Some manchild edgelord like Varg, probably
If that's the case, why did they erect that eyesore of a basilica on top of the communes dead?
When basilicas are built atop the graves of all communards, then maybe we can talk about the recovery of western civilization from the """""enlightenment"""""
Oh so anything not going 100% the way you want it is collapsing civilization
Jeez, no wonder dinosaurs like action francaise exist
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.
Don't forget Cluny

Anarcho-Syndicalists were the vanguard
Anarcho-syndicalism wasn't a thing in 1871.
The bourgeois ruin everything
>La Commune
>French Revolution
Pick one
Sounds good to me.
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
what did the French mean by this
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.
Persecuted or kept from power?
>communism
>having a state
Read literally any book
thats because of specialization, not increased state authority
Are there any good intro texts to the Paris Commune?
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.
