I50 years of the Paris Commune
Why the Paris Commune Still Resonates, 150 Years Later
Thursday 3 June 2021, by Enzo Traverso
There is a paradoxical discrepancy between the meteoric rise and fall of the Paris Commune, whose life did not exceed seventy-two days, and its lasting presence as a central experience in the Left’s historical consciousness.
Viewed through the lens of what some scholars call “world history,” what happened in Paris between March 18 and May 28, 1871, is almost insignificant. Most recent historians of the nineteenth century think of the acclaimed works of Christopher Bayly and Jürgen Osterhammel just mention it as a minor detail of the Franco-Prussian War. From the point of view of the takeoff of industrial and financial capitalism, urbanization and modernization, the consolidation of colonial empires, and the persistence of the Old Regime in an already bourgeois continent, the Paris Commune means nothing.
Newly-formed Israeli government will include three ministers of Hungarian origin: PM Yair Lapid, defense min Benny Gantz, transport minister Merav Michaeli.
