MikeDunnAuthorToday for Women’s History Month, we remember Louise Michel, born in Vroncourt, France in 1830. Michel was a leader of the Paris Commune. As a child, she always empathized with the downtrodden. At age 23, she became a school teacher. In her free time, she wrote poetry and took classes in physics, chemistry and law. Here’s one of her early poems:I have seen criminals and whores And spoken with them. Now I inquire If you believe them made as now they are To drag their rags in blood and mire Preordained, an evil race? You to whom all men are prey Have made them what they are today.In July, 1870, she was arrested her for the first time. She was helping cache arms to defend Strasberg against the Prussian army. The Prussians released her at the end of September, but arrested her again, two months later, for leading a demonstration. In January, 1871, the Prussians conquered Paris, but allowed the French to elect a new government, which they filled with monarchists. Two months later, the people overthrew that government in the Paris Commune. In her memoirs, she wrote the following about her state of mind during the commune: "In my mind I feel the soft darkness of a spring night. It is May 1871, and I see the red reflection of flames. It is Paris afire. That fire is a dawn." At the end of the Bloody Week, the authorities forced her to turn herself in by threatening to kill her mother. She was lucky to have survived. They executed 30,000 men, women and children.They tried her in December, 1871 for trying to overthrow the government, arming citizens, forgery, attempted assassinations, and numerous other crimes. When asked if she had anything to say in her defense, she replied: "I do not wish to defend myself, I do not wish to be defended. . . I wished to oppose the invader from Versailles with a barrier of flames. I had no accomplices in this action. I acted on my own initiative. . . since it seems that any heart which beats for freedom has the right only to a lump of lead, I too claim my share. If you let me live, I shall never stop crying for revenge and l shall avenge my brothers. I have finished. If you are not cowards, kill me!"They sentenced her to deportation for life and sent her to New Caldonia. On the boat ride there, in 1873, she met Natalie Lemel, who taught her about anarchism. After five years, they allowed her to start teaching again. She worked with the children of colonists and the indigenous people of New Caldonia. Her struggle against French colonialism and support for the indigenous people is remembered today in their local museum of anarchism.In 1880, the French gave amnesty to commune prisoners and allowed her back into the country. Many of those prisoners could not find work and were starving. She helped set up soup kitchens to feed them and devoted herself to writing about strikes and worker protests. On Mach 9, 1883, she led a demonstration through Paris. During the march, starving workers looted bakeries and stole bread. They arrested Michel and sentenced her to six years solitary confinement.When socialist Paul Lafargue visited her in prison, he seemed distressed by her living conditions. “My dear Lafargue,” she said. “There is no other parlor in this hotel where the bourgeois lodge me gratis. I'm not complaining. . .I‘ve found a happiness in prison that I never knew when I was free; I have time to study and I take advantage of it. When I was free, I had my classes: 150 students or more. It wasn’t enough for me to live on, since two thirds of them didn’t pay me. I had to give lessons in music, grammar, history, a little bit of everything, until ten or eleven o'clock in the evening, and when I went home I went to sleep exhausted, unable to do anything. At the time I would have given years of my life in order to have time to give over to study. . . . While waiting to re-conquer my freedom of action, my freedom to propagandize, I write. I wrote some children’s books. I teach them to think like citizens, like revolutionaries, while at the same time amusing them. In novels I realistically paint the miseries of life, and I try to breathe the love of the revolution into the hearts of men.”Two years after being released, a would-be assassin shot her behind her ear. During the trial, she defended the would-be assassin, arguing that he had been misled by an evil society. She died on January 9, 1905, due in part to the bullet that remained lodged in her skull.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/louisemichel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#louisemichel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pariscommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pariscommune</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prison</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teacher</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#children</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deportation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History February 23, 1903: Jean-Baptiste Clement died. Clement was a socialist and Paris Communard, poet, singer and composer of the famous song, “The Time of Cherries.” He was one of the last on the barricades during the Commune. He escaped and fled to England. The French authorities condemned him to death, in absentia. They later granted him amnesty and he returned to France in 1879. He helped found the Revolutionary Socialist Workers Party in 1890. Paris has since named schools and a street after him.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisCommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParisCommune</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poet</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Revolutionary</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/singer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JeanBaptisteClement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeanBaptisteClement</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/barricades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barricades</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prison</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/amnesty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amnesty</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History February 10, 1898: Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht was born. Brecht was a doctor, poet and playwright. He fled the Nazis only to be persecuted in the U.S. by HUAC during the Cold War. He is most well-known for his play, “The Three Penny Opera.” He also wrote “Mother Courage and Her Children” and “The Days of the Commune,” about the Paris Commune. Additionally, he wrote poetry and composed the lyrics to many of the songs performed in his plays, like “Mack the Knife” and “Alabama Song” (AKA Whiskey Bar). <a href="https://youtu.be/6orDcL0zt34" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/6orDcL0zt34</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/huac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#huac</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anticommunist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anticommunist</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/witchhunt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#witchhunt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BertoltBrecht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BertoltBrecht</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marxist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marxist</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poet</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playwright</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisCommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParisCommune</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History February 8, 1805: Louis-Auguste Blanqui was born. He was a French revolutionary and participant in the Paris Commune. Blanqui took an active role in most republican conspiracies of the early to mid-1800s, both in France, and in Italy with the Carbonari society, including the July Revolution of 1830. In 1840, the authorities condemned him to death for his role in a violent rebellion led by the Société des Saisons. However, they commuted it to life in prison and then ended up releasing him during the revolution of 1848. Needless to say, he promptly resumed his attacks. In 1849, they again imprisoned him, but he escaped and led two more armed uprisings. Just prior to the Paris Commune, they arrested him again. While in prison, the Communards elected him president of the commune. The Communards offered to release all of their prisoners if the government released Blanqui. In 1872, along with other leaders of the Commune, the authorities sentenced him to deportation. But because of poor health, they commuted his sentence to local imprisonment. He died in 1881.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/louisblanqui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#louisblanqui</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParisCommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParisCommune</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prison</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolutionary</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolution</a>

Prior to that, most people viewed individuality very differently especially in Marx's time and this modern version of <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=individualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#individualism</a> would be weird AF in his time. In fact Walden was written shortly after and what he described as solitude, was just living on the edge of the village by himself, and his mom came around and took care of him and he had visitors all the time fascinated that he was living "alone", almost like a freak show. It wasn't the solitude we think of remotely today, a social butterfly compared to many of us. In fact one of the reasons anarchist Catalonia and Ukraine as well as the <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=pariscommune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pariscommune</a> thrived as much as they did is they lived in sustainable close knit <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a>, this was just normal. Meanwhile we have lost all ability to organize around sustainable community which is why the left can't organize its way out of a wet paper bag.
