    It's easy, just remember the other side they were fighting lol. The communards called the third republic an empire without an emperor (or Bonapartist without a Bonaparte) for a reason.

      Right. Just like the birth country of Marx and Engels produced the Nazis, or the October Revolution produced the Whites. Hell, even America had Eugene Debs and the Wobblies.

      I suppose France just wasn't as good at curtailing revolutionary movements as much as Germany and the US did.
