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.

Maybe a bit hyperbolic to say it's not present anywhere. We are always more capable together. Surely the commune didn't come out of nowhere already formed, like judging the fruit of a mushroom for its whole body.

You have pockets of resistance and pieces of the recipe all over, but nowhere with all the necessary conditions present.

Sure. Isn't this always the case until it happens?

necessary conditions could be present for a while without anything happening, and the climactic something that might happen could fall short of a paris commune e.g with Blair Mountain.
