The Paris Commune

For Norm Diamond’s regular segment “Another World Is Possible,” he concludes our celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune. Norm responds to critiques by listeners, discusses how the Commune influenced both Marxism and Anarchism, and explores its relevance and lessons even for our own times. Music is from the Commune’s unofficial anthem, sung by Cora Vaucaire.
