The Paris Commune was a radical socialist and revolutionary government that formed in Paris on this day in 1871, existing for just a few months before being defeated by the French National Army on May 21st that year.

A hotbed of working-class radicalism, the Paris Commune was a watershed moment in revolutionary left history. A few months after it was formed, the commune was attacked and defeated by the French National Army on May 21st, 1871, beginning the so-called "Bloody Week".

The government of the Paris Commune developed a set of policies that tended towards a progressive, secular, and highly democratic social democracy, although its existence was too brief to implement these ideas. Among these policies were the separation of church and state, abolition of child labor, abolishment of interest on some forms of debt, as well as the right of employees to take over and run an enterprise if it was deserted by its original owner.

The Paris Commune was analyzed by many communist thinkers, including Karl Marx, who called it a "dictatorship of the proletariat." Vladimir Lenin danced in the snow in celebration when the newly formed Bolshevik government lasted longer than the Paris Commune.

The uprising inspired similar revolutionary attempts around the world, including communes in Moscow (1905), Petrograd (1917), Shanghai (1927 and 1967), and Seattle (2020).

Roger Waters is a English songwriter, singer and bassist who was born on this day in 1943. His most famous work is with Pink Floyd's 4 concept albums, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall. He, along with David Gilmour is the "leader" of the band, though they collaborated much more in their earlier albums.

His father was a communist who died in WW2 during the battle of Anzio, which inspired the album The Wall, also inspired by his over-protective mother and feeling of isolation from performance.

The albums he most prominently wrote on were Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut (which did not realize nearly the same amount of praise as the other albums.)

Roger Waters is a avid socialist advocate and anti-Israel person, who raises money and posts videos about various humanitarian issues in the world. A lot of his work on "Animals" is anti-cop, anti-capitalist and pro-revolution, often very obviously.

Roger was inducted along with the rest of Pink Floyd in 1996, and continues to tour to this day.

Sorry for the short thread, had a busy day.

On this day in 1927, Italian immigrant anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed by the U.S. government after they were dubiously convicted of murder, leading to international episodes of protest and violence.

Sacco, born in 1891, was a shoemaker and a night watchman, who migrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. Vanzetti was a fishmonger born on June 11th, 1888. Two men met at a strike in 1917.

After a deadly shoe store robbery in 1919, both Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested. When searched by police, both denied owning any guns, but were found to be holding loaded pistols. Sacco was found to have an Italian passport, anarchist literature, and a loaded .32 Colt Model 1903 automatic pistol. Vanzetti had four 12-gauge shotgun shells and a five-shot nickel-plated .38-caliber Harrington & Richardson revolver. Despite this, both Sacco and Vanzetti had solid alibis for where they were during the murder.

Anti-Italian and anti-anarchist sentiments played a significant role in their trial. Presiding Judge Thayer was an avowed enemy of anarchists. When giving his final statement in 1927, Vanzetti said "I am suffering because I am a radical and indeed I am a radical; I have suffered because I am an Italian and indeed I am an Italian...if you could execute me two times, and if I could be reborn two other times, I would live again to do what I have done already."

Sacco and Vanzetti's arrest, trial, conviction, and execution became an international incident that caused an outrage among people of all political persuasions, not just anarchists. Among their advocates were Harvard law professor and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who wrote that Judge Thayer's statement was "a farrago of misquotations, misrepresentations, suppressions, and mutilations",

Anarchist supporters of Sacco and Vanzetti orchestrated campaigns on their behalf, both peaceful and non-violent. Bombing campaigns were undertaken, targeting Judge Thayer, Wall Street, and the American Embassy in Buenos Aires.

Despite the advocacy on their behalf, the violence, and pleas for a re-trial, Sacco and Vanzetti's death sentences were not commuted. Vanzetti, in his final moments, shook hands with guards and thanked them for their kind treatment, read a statement proclaiming his innocence, and finally said, "I wish to forgive some people for what they are now doing to me." Sacco was next and walked quietly to the electric chair, then shouted "Farewell, mother."

On the 50th anniversary of the executions, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation that Sacco and Vanzetti had been unfairly tried and convicted and that "any disgrace should be forever removed from their names".
