Paris Commune flag: colours?

[Die Neue Zeit]

Was the Paris Commune's flag just plain red, or red and white as the wiki states currently re. the flag Lenin's body was draped in? If the latter, what was the design?

[Paulappaul]

Red and White refers to Frances National Colors. White in and of itself was the color of the Monarchy. The Flag of the Commune was Red.

[Smyg]

Red. Just red. That's the way we roll.

Lenin's funeral featured a flag/banner from the Commune. The red flag was a symbol of the latter but there was no standard design or insignia

[Parvati]

The Red Flag became the symbol of the people - symbolizing worker's blood- in opposition to the Tricolor Flag (Blue-White-Red) that was at this point associated to the repression of the Bourgeois Army.

They officially adopted it as a symbol on March 28th.

[Tim Finnegan]

Actually, the red flag emerged as a symbolism of popular democracy during the French Revolution of 1789, when it was used by the Jacobins to represent the blood of republican martyrs in opposition to the Tricolour favoured by the Constitutional Monarchists and, later, Girondins. The evolution into a socialist symbol reflects the development of French communism, and of European working class radicalism more generally, out of left-Jacobinism and sansculottism.
