This morning I finished Red Rosa, a graphic novel (Verso) about Rosa Luxembourg. It's an easy and engaging entry that left me wanting to read more of her works.
I'm almost done Massacre, which describes the fall of the Paris Commune and the psychotic murder spree perpetrated by Versailles invaders under the command of Adolphe Thiers in painful detail. I spend more time then one probably should thinking about what would have happened if the commune seized the bank of France or moved on Versailles before they could regroup.
The Commune (and everything, really) seems to have taught that you must always always always attack as a revolution. Take advantage of the moment and never let your enemies have a second of rest, for they will consolidate and crush you. Also God damn they should've taken the bank.
