To me the paris commune looks like an almost perfect socialist utopia. If only they could have lasted. One of these types of communes should be started again.

It seems reminiscent of the 1919 Limerick Soviet.

Read Marx's Civil War in France, that's got lotsa good info. And yes, it was almost perfect.

Is there any thing like those to examples that lasted?
