Of this book Lenin says: “It shows us that during the Paris Commune the political form was at last discovered through which must be worked out the final economic emancipation of labor, namely, The Dictatorship of the Proletariat.” Engels’ introduction sketches the economic history of France from 1848 to 1871. Marx tells the true story of the Commune which ruled Paris from March 18 to May 21, 1871, and answers magnificently the calumnies of the reactionaries who first massacred the Communards and then tried to blacken their memories, Paper, 25 cents. Cloth, with the Communist Manifesto, 60 cents.

Should be read with “The Civil War in France”, since it is an economic and political history of France before the Dictatorship, showing the triumph of the financial capitalists over the feudal lords in 1830 and the subsequent victory of the industrial capitalists over the financiers. “The best book to show the methods of materialistic historic analysis." Teaches how history should be written. Cloth, 60 cents.

Shows how, after the revolutionary uprisings in Germany in 1848, the German State became the capitalist and militarist weapon against labor. Applies equally to conditions in Germany today. If you want to know about the functions of the State, read this. Cloth, 60 cents.
