Synopsis "Paris Commune 150 (in English)"

On 18 March 1871, the people of Paris opened the door to utopia. Over 72 days, the workers built new institutions and advanced the practice of democracy. The forces of counterrevolution regrouped, marched on the city, and defeated the Commune on 28 May. Two days later, Karl Marx delivered an address to the International Workingmen's Association, a text later published as The Civil War in France. Almost fifty years later, as the Soviet Republic was being formed, Lenin reflected on Marx's text to consider how to smash the inherited state institutions and to build socialist institutional forms. The Commune was reborn in a higher form as the Soviet. This book collects Marx's address, Lenin's chapter in State and Revolution on the Commune, Bertolt Brecht's poem on the communards, and Manifesto of the Paris Commune's Federation of Artists.

(Tréveris, Alemania, 1818 - Londres, Reino Unido, 1883) Karl Marx, analista clarividente de la evolución social y económica, y defensor de la transformación emancipadora del Estado y la sociedad, es sin duda el pensador más influyente del mundo contemporáneo. Sus ideas ganaron rápida aceptación en el movimiento socialista y sus textos se consagraron como lectura ineludible para cualquier tendencia ideológica. Filósofo, sociólogo, historiador, economista y activista revolucionario, su extensísima obra ha alcanzado el estatus de referencia universal.
