Marx both lauded and criticized various aspects of the Paris revolution in 1871.
He seemed to have to loved the democratic foundations of the revolutionary government but at the same time dismissed their nativity when it came to certain economic/diplomatic decisions, such as choosing to not seize control of the international financial assets in city's banks.
That being said, what if Marx and Engels, rather than sitting on the side lines, decided to smuggle their way into Paris in the first days of the Commune (a little implausable given the encirclment but bear with me)
Could their political knowledge and forsight have saved the Paris Revolution?
What sort've of leader could either of them become?
