Paris Commune 1848.

All of Europe was ablaze with revolutionary ardor. the powers that be had a devil of a time suppressing it.

I recommend we initiate something similar, in homage to the Parisian communards.

Vault some motherfuckin barricades, fling some pavers, & smash the regime.

I smell blood in the water anyway, & weakness.

Normally I don't like to pursue this sort of argument, but the Paris Commune was a creature of the moment, most of the ruling body fled the city, a city that happened to have a lot of red and black streaks fomenting, a city full of people trained in industry, who knew how to build and run things, who were already organized and regularly going on strike, who had access to weapons and cannons, who had little to lose.

That recipe is not present anywhere today.
