Department of Hi'sio*" y The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date AkgaS-f 30. ZOO I DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The Paris Commune of 1871 lasted only seventy-two days. Yet, hundreds of historians continue to revisit this complex event. The initial association of the 1871 Commune with the first modern socialist government in the world has fuelled enduring ideological debates. However, most historians past and present have fallen into the trap of assessing the Paris Commune by foreign ideological constructs. During the Cold War, leftist and conservative historians alike overlooked important socialist measures discussed and implemented by this first- ever predominantly working-class government.

Marxism and the Solidarity Economy: Toward a New Theory of Revolution Abstract In the twenty-first century, it is time that Marxists updated the conception of socialist revolution they have inherited from Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Slogans about the “dictatorship of the proletariat” “smashing the capitalist state” and carrying out a social revolution from the commanding heights of a reconstituted state are completely obsolete. In this article I propose a reconceptualization that accomplishes several purposes: first, it explains the logical and empirical problems with Marx’s classical theory of revolution; second, it revises the classical theory to make it, for the first time, logically consistent with the premises of historical materialism; third, it provides a (Marxist) theoretical grounding for activism in the solidarity economy, and thus partially reconciles Marxism with anarchism; fourth, it accounts for the long-term failure of all attempts at socialist revolution so far.

I. LENIN KARL MARX KARL MARX was born May 5, 1818, in the city of Trier, in the Rhine province of Prussia. His father was a lawyer-a Jew, who in 1824 adopted Protestantism. The family was well-to-do, cultured, bu~ not revolutionary. After graduating from the Gymnasium in Trier, Marx entered first the University at Bonn, later Berlin University, where he studied 'urisprudence, but devoted most of his time to history and philosop y. At th conclusion of his uni­ versity course in 1841, he submitted his doctoral dissertation on Epicure's philosophy:* Marx at that time was still an adherent of Hegel's idealism. In Berlin he belonged to the circle of "Left Hegelians" (Bruno Bauer and others) who sought to draw atheistic and revolutionary conclusions from Hegel's philosophy. After graduating from the University, Marx moved to Bonn in the expectation of becoming a professor. However, the reactionary policy of the government,-that in 1832 had deprived Ludwig Feuer­ bach of his chair and in 1836 again refused to allow him to teach, while in 1842 it forbade the Y0ung professor, Bruno Bauer, to give lectures at the University-forced Marx to abandon the idea of pursuing an academic career.

In contrast to other biographies,suchasthat of Nicolaievsky and Maenchen-Helfen, Rühle is more critical of Marx and more sympathetic to Bakunin, etc. The work is also marked by Rühle’sinterest in psychology.From https://www.marxists.org/archive/ruhle/1928/marx/index.htm and https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.58873. Chapter 01: Preliminaries The Historical Setting At intervals of a century,the European revolution in Holland, England, and France blew up the gates and opened a way for capitalist development. The feudal system, based on a feudalist economy and on serfdom, stabilized by patriarchal despotism, hereditary dependence,and enslavement of the conscience, collapsed before the onslaught of the new economic power. Money conquered land. The postulates of freedom triumphed over the traditions of slavery.Day dawned over western Europe. The rising bourgeois class entered into possession of new fields.Starting from Holland, it created a colonial power whose gigantic proportions were rivalled only by the vastness of the wealth whichcolonial enterprise brought backtothe mother country.Starting from England, whichittransformed into the factory of the world, the bourgeoisie made that country supreme over all the markets of the world and all the sources of rawmaterials.Setting out from France,the bourgeoisie pressed the greatest of all military powers into its service,the better to safeguard the social suc- cesses of its emancipation. In its craving for activity,itshrank from no difficulties. Boldly it wrestled with the most difficult problems,and its soaring ambition winged it towards the most distant goals.Inafrenzy of achievement, the bourgeois class ful- filled its destiny.

    Writings on the Paris Commune Karl Marx, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin "20 O~ Red and Black Publishers, St Petersburg, Florida Excerpts from: State and Revolution Vladimir Lenin 1. What Made the Communards' Attempt Heroic? It is well known that in the autumn of 1870, a few months before the Commune, Marx warned the Paris workers that any attempt to overthrow the government would be the folly of despair. But when, in March 1871, a decisive battle was forced upon the workers and they accepted it, when the uprising had become a fact, Marx greeted the proletarian revolution with the greatest enthusiasm, in spite of unfavorable auguries. Marx did not persist in the pedantic attitude of condemning an "untimely" movement as did the ill-famed Russian renegade from Marxism, Plekhanov, who in November 1905 wrote encouragingly about the workers' and peasants' struggle, but after December 1905 cried, liberal fashion: "They should not have taken up arms." 1'0-2- Peter Kropetldn Slale and Revolution 103 Marx, however, was not only enthusiastic about the heroism of On April 12, 1871, i.e., just at the time of the Commune, Marx wrote to Kugelmann: the Communards, who, as he expressed it, IIstormed heaven". Although the mass revolutionary movement did not achieve its aim, "If you look up the last chapter of my Eigllteentlz Brumaire, you he regarded it as a historic experience of enormous importance, as a will find that I declare that the next attempt of the French Revolution certain advance of the world proletarian revolution, as a practical step will be no longer, as before, to transfer the bureaucratic-military that was more important than hundreds of programmes and machine from one hand to another, but to smash it [Marx's italics-the arguments.

  • Unit Iii 1. European Historiography Edward
    UNIT III 1. EUROPEAN HISTORIOGRAPHY EDWARD GIBBON He was born in 1737, the son of Edward and Judith Gibbon at Lime Grove, in the town of Putney, Surrey. He had six siblings: five brothers and one sister, all of whom died in infancy. His grandfather, also named Edward, had lost all of his assets as a result of the South Sea Bubble stock market collapse in 1720, but eventually regained much of his wealth. Gibbon's father was thus able to inherit a substantial estate.[3] One of his grandparents, Catherine Acton, descended from Sir Walter Acton, 2nd Baronet. As a youth, Gibbon's health was under constant threat. He described himself as "a puny child, neglected by my Mother, starved by my nurse". At age nine, he was sent to Dr. Woddeson's school at Kingston upon Thames (now Kingston Grammar School), shortly after which his mother died. He then took up residence in the Westminster School boarding house, owned by his adored "Aunt Kitty", Catherine Porten. Soon after she died in 1786, he remembered her as rescuing him from his mother's disdain, and imparting "the first rudiments of knowledge, the first exercise of reason, and a taste for books which is still the pleasure and glory of my life".[4] From 1747 Gibbon spent time at the family home in Buriton.[5] By 1751, Gibbon's reading was already extensive and certainly pointed toward his future pursuits: Laurence Echard's Roman History (1713), William Howel(l)'s An Institution of General History (1680–85), and several of the 65 volumes of the acclaimed Universal History from the Earliest Account of Time (1747– 1768).[6] Oxford, Lausanne, and a religious journey: 1752–1758[edit] Following a stay at Bath in 1752 to improve his health, at the age of 15 Gibbon was sent by his father to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was enrolled as a gentleman-commoner.

  • The Civil War in France
    THE CIVIL WAR IN FRANCE By KARL MARX A True Story of the Paris Commune PRICE 25 CENTS THECIVIL WAR IN FRANCE BY MARL MARX, WITH AN 1NTRODUCTlON BY FRIEDERICH ENGELS, TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BT E. BELFORT BAX. CHICAGO CHARLES H. KERR 2%~COMPANY CO-OPERATIVE I 80 I INTRODUCTION. On the 28th of May, the last of the combatants of the Commune were crushed by superior numbers on the heights of Belleville, and two days later, on the 30th, Marx read to the General Council of the International the pamphlet in question, in which the historical significance of thg Paris Commune is presented in short, powerful, and in such incisive and above all such true phrases as have never again been equalled in the whole of the extensive literature on the subject. Thanks to the economical and political develop- ment of Prance since 1789, Paris has for fifty years been placed in the position that no revolution could break out there without assuming a proletarian character in such wise that the proletariat which had bought the victory with his blood did not put forward immediately afterwards its own demands. These demands were more or less indefinite, and even confused in accordance with the par- ticular phase of development through wLich the Paris workmen were passing at the time; but the upshot of them all was the abolition of the class antagonism between capitalist and laborer. How this was to be done, ‘tie true nobody knew.-But the demand itself, however in definite its form, was a danger for the existing order 01 society ; the workmen who made it were still armed ; if the bourgeoisie at the head of the State would maintain their political supremacy, they were bound to disown the workmen.
