### 法国工团运动

卡尔·马克思在《法国内战》中认为，1871年的巴黎公社是未来革命暴动的原型，这种形式最终为无产阶级解放而被发现。事实上，由于巴黎人对失败主义的法国政府的不满，以及在被普鲁士军队围困数月后，巴黎公社更像是一个乌托邦式的、热情的社会主义实验，在法国各省拥有短暂而轶事般的追随者，后来被法家法国军队血洗。

随后的镇压多年来扼杀了新生的法国社会主义，而社民党在德国发展起来，工会在英国蓬勃发展。那些在这场灾难后留下的人被撕裂了，分别是受马克思主义启发的茹尔·盖得的法国工人党和法国工会，他们受到费尔南德.佩鲁蒂埃的劳动证券交易所成功的鼓舞。法国工团主义运动在1894年镇压性的“lois scélérates”之后迅速被无政府主义活动家所取代。

1895年，劳工总联合会（Confédération Générale du Travail）在利摩日成立，誓言独立于所有政治组织，1906年的《亚眠宪章》重申了这一承诺，肯定了CGT内部的无政府工团主义倾向，其副秘书埃米尔·普杰（Emile Pouget）就是其中的体现

Helped by the union of Guesde's revolutionary followers and Jean Jaurès' social-democrats into the Section Française de l'Internationale Ouvrière (French Section of the Workers' International), the French left was coming into prominence, helped by its role in the Dreyfus affair, when the Weltkrieg broke out.

First an outspoken pacifist, Jaurès was shot down by a nationalist activist four days before the French entry in the war. His successor, Léon Jouhaux, agreed to participate in the Union Sacrée government, followed by most of the SFIO leadership.

### Fall of the Third Republic

The Revolution was initially sparked by the CGT, who declared a General Strike in the spring of 1919, hot on the heels of the second outbreak of mutiny in the French Army. The mutineers were protesting the Conservative call for a last-ditch counter-offensive, following a string of severe French and Allied defeats during the German Offensives of 1919.

The CGT wanted to paralyse the nation, force the ruling Conservatives to step down and hand over power to the CGT's executive arm; the Comité de Salut Public, or CSP - led by the zealous anarchist Emile Pouget.

They were charged with the task of leading first the General Strike, and then the establishment of a new government and Constitution which would allow for a complete reconstruction of the French nation. They also had as their immediate aim to end "the abominable war" as soon as possible. In achieving these aims, the strike was initially unsuccessful, and the CGT was unable to seize power before the fall of Paris to German general Oskar von Hutier, made possible due to the turmoil of the fighting.

### The French Civil War

*Main article: French Civil War*
With the fall of Paris however, the nationwide General Strike turned violent, as frustrated Unionists became desperate to end the war before the Germans were in a position to occupy the whole country. Skirmishes with police turned into riots across much of the country, and the government was forced to resign, marking the beginning of a transitory period between the Third Republic to the Fourth.

This period was characterized by a dualistic power structure much like that of Russia between the Revolutions of 1917 - on the one hand, a Provisional Government of Liberals and Socialists, and on the other, the CGT, claimed a "legitimate right to power" via their Trade Union structure and a new system of local councils. (However, unlike in Russia - where the Revolutionary Left's gains proved ephemeral - in France, this provided the Revolutionaries with the chance for permanently taking power.)

This uncertain situation continued through the summer of 1919, until things came to a head in the early autumn, when the Provisional Government attempted to disarm and demobilize the French Army following the conclusion of a truce with the Germans. Fearing the Government was attempting to stifle the Revolution (the Army was largely supportive of the Left), the Socialist Party began a boycott of the Parliament, and declared itself an ally of the CGT, followed thereafter by a number of the more radical Liberals.

Following this decision, the Bolshevik Jacobins declared the Provisional Government an enemy of the Proletariat, encouraging Party members to begin a policy of agitation in favour of a "great purge of France, to forever destroy her class enemies". Inspired by Lenin and his revolutionaries and the outbreak of the Russian Civil War between the Reds and the Whites, gangs of working men and army units sympathetic to the Jacobin cause began to attack and loot the property of the aristocracy and upper middle classes - seizing land by force and holding the Establishment to account in revolutionary "courts".

Although they wanted to put a stop to this policy (they had hoped to negotiate with the Provisional Government), the CGT was unable to prevent the Jacobins from carrying out their attacks, or prevent an escalation of the crisis, as the Provisional Government gathered together the "forces of reaction" to respond with force and attempt a counter-revolution.

### Enforcement of the Regime

Not wanting to see the revolution die, and simultaneously desiring to limit the influence of the Jacobins, the CGT was left with no choice but to declare war on "the Provisional Government and the forces of Counter-Revolution", and attempt to seize control of the entire country.

Taking full control of Paris, they formally concluded peace with Germany in the winter of 1919, accepting the annexation of the rest of Lorraine, the legitimacy of the new state of Flanders-Wallonia, and agreeing to pay a heavy burden of reparations.

Following the conclusion of the truce with the Germans, the CGT began to draft a new constitutional setup together with the Socialists, Jacobins, Anarchists and radical Liberals. Meanwhile, they had to fight the self-styled "Establishment" and "drive them into the sea", and try and prevent and limit the Jacobins' "hunt for the Bourgeoisie".

As the French Revolution reached its closing stages, Switzerland occupied Haute-Savoie before Communard forces could take the province. When the news reached Paris, the provisional government was outraged, but as Switzerland was backed by Germany, there was little France could do but accept the annexation as legitimate. Around the same time, shortly after Marseilles and Nice fell to the revolution, radical Communard forces occupied the small Principality of Monaco. Since 1920, it has been occupied by the Commune.

Though they proved unable to counter the Jacobins' image as integral members of the revolution, they were able to largely limit their participation in arranging the constitutional setup of the new state. Through ensuring that leading Jacobins were often engaged in the conduct of the war, the CGT were able to cultivate and protect their own image as the Revolutions' legitimate political leaders.

The Commune of France is a socialist and syndicalist federal republic composed of the 36,000 communes of France and ruled by a dual structure, with the legislative powers going to the General Labor Council (French: *Bourse Générale du Travail*), and executive powers in the hands of the Committee of Public Safety (French: *Comité de Salut Public*).

The Commune of France is of a primarily Syndicalist construction, based around federated union organizations which emphasize worker control on an industry-by-industry basis. The CoF is, in fact, a federation of major cities, such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Toulouse, each one ruled by a *Bourse du Travail* (labour council) which is directly elected by the citizens of the regional commune. The task of the Bourse du Travail is to manage not only the general affairs of local government but also local military arrangements in the form of the popular militia.

The Chairman of the Commune is elected directly by the citizens and confirmed in their appointment by the Comité de Salut Public (rejection by the Comité demands a new election be held). The Chairman (currently the anarchist Sébastien Faure) is the Head of State, as well as a leader of the **Bourse Générale du Travail** - which functions as a form of Parliament, representing the individual Communes that make up the administrative structure of Syndicalist France. The BGT is primarily responsible for forming a bridge between the national executive (CSP) and the local governments.

The CSP takes decisions at the national level, "uniting the efforts of the Communes", directing foreign affairs and organising the Garde Nationale (the professional element of the CoF's army). It too is elected by the general populace (though on the position basis that they must secure the support of a regional Bourse, via caucus, to make the short-list). The current Premier of the **Comité de Salut Public** is the Travailleur Marceau Pivert, who succeeded Pouget in 1931, following a turbulent election that leads to a government of compromise.

Whilst the Commune of France claims to be fully decentralized, and fully endorses free elections to both the BGT and local Bourses as fundamental to democracy, the fact is that the CGT holds a position so dominant that her rivals have not seriously been able to challenge her rule since the Fourth Republic's foundation (managing at best to put the CGT in the position of a minority government), and the CSP remains by far the most powerful institution in the country. However, the CGT is not of a uniform opinion and is in fact divided into several "camps" of opinion.

### Political Factions

In 1925 a powerful group was born, known as **Travailleurs** (Workers), inspired by the British system established after the successful British revolution. The Travailleurs specifically desire an extension of democracy by adopting many British constitutional arrangements, and though they have found strong allies in the Anarchists in their aim of reducing the CSP's power, they fundamentally disagree on the question of local government (as Socialists they would prefer the Bourses to be split from the Unions). They head the current government of compromise.

The **Sorelians** take their name and some inspiration from the theories of French anarcho-syndicalist thinker Georges Sorel. A minority in the CGT, they feel that the CSP was necessary only to ensure the successful establishment of the revolutionary state in its transition from a capitalist to a syndicalist economy and that the time has now come to hand national power from the CSP to the BGT, forging a more centralized state. They are currently lead by Georges Valois.

Outside the CGT remain the **Jacobins**, inspired by Lenin's brand of Communism as well as French revolutionary history. They desire that their tightly knit and structured organisation rid France of its anarchistic and syndicalist characteristics and form a "vanguard" to lead a Communist reconstruction. They are currently lead by Marcel Déat

There is also an **Anarchiste** (or Anarchiste Pur - Pure Anarchist) movement which takes both inspiration and "leadership" from the exiled Ukrainian revolutionary Makhno. Often considered an eccentric element of French political life, the Anarchiste movement campaigns for greater regional freedom in the make-up and constitution of local government, and a drastic cut in the legislative role of the CSP.

The Radical Liberals who boycotted Parliament with the Socialists in 1919 have largely been forced to emigrate as a result of persecution and victimization lead by Jacobin extremists.

In 1936 elections are about to begin within the CSP and one-third of the BGT - to elect, for example, the delegates for the army, foreign affairs, treasury, and of course the Premier. With Pivert considered "too weak" even by his own followers, the continuation of the CGT's political dominance can no longer be assured, and France looks to be standing at a crossroads.

## Military

### The Army

During the early years of the Commune, people's militias formed the bulk of the army as a professional army was seen as "anti-revolutionary" and "an enemy of the people's freedom". The Swiss Army was studied closely and the communes modeled their militia units on the basis of the Swiss cantonal troops. Weapons are kept in the central storage of the local commune (Délégation Générale pour l'Armement or the General Weaponry Delegation is responsible for the upkeep of these storages), where all members of the militia will gather should they be called to arms. Some communes (mainly the ones bordering Germany and Flanders) are required to keep their militias armed and ready at all times. This has led to the first standing army units being formed and trained in the border regions. The armored reserve is stationed in Paris and is under the direct control of the Chef des Armées. L'**Armée Populaire de la Commune de France** has modern equipment and is largely motorized. However, organization and co-operation with other branches of the military is a problem.

### The Navy

During the Civil War, the French navy was divided as was the rest of the nation. There were some engagements between the nationalist and the syndicalist naval units, but most of the ships remained in their ports as fuel was scarce and the crews divided. After the civil war, the ships that followed the nationalists into Africa formed the Marine Nationale anew and the ships that stayed in France were the backbone of the new **Marine de libération du Peuple**. The navy has two main fleets, the Flotte de la Patrie in Marseilles and Flotte de la Normandie in Brest. The navy was severely weakened during the civil war and not much emphasis has been put into building new ships for the navy. The main purpose of the navy is to prevent landings into the southern and northern coasts (and the navy is such targeted quite solely against Germany and National France). Marine libération du peuple has potential but is currently incapable of promoting the Commune's interests abroad.

### The Air Force

The **Armée de l'Air du Peuple** is the air arm of the Armées Françaises. The aerial aspect of war was closely studied by the Commune's military minds after the civil war and has lead to a strong, medium-sized air force with modern equipment and well-trained pilots. Innovative generals like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry have developed organization and tactics for the air force and during a conflict, the Commune's air force can be expected to cause significant damage to the enemy.

## Foreign Relations

The Commune of France is the leader of the Syndicalist Internationale, and maintains good relations with almost all socialist countries and major socialist movements (such as the Spanish CNT-FAI) around the world.

Very good relations with Socialist Republic of Italy and Union of Britain. the Commune of France supported the syndicalist revolutions in both countries.

Friendly relations with Mexico, Georgia, and Azad Hind

The Commune has territorial disputes with several of its neigbours: it claims the city of Dunkirk, controlled by Flanders-Wallonia, parts of Germany that were ceded in 1919 and in 1871, and the territory of Haute-Savoie, which has been administered by Switzerland since the outbreak of the French Civil War.

The Commune of France does not recognise the French Republic, currently based in Algiers, as the legitimate government of France. the British Government in Exile is not recognised by them either.

Poor relations with the Qing Empire, due to Paris's support of the Left Kuomintang.

## Culture

One could say the French culture has gained some and lost some after the Civil War. Old masterpieces of art and music are labeled as "bourgeois" and "anti-revolutionary" and are banned from public display by many labour councils. However, new art-forms such as surrealism have flourished, fueled by the Bohemian art-circles of Paris and other major cities. Cuisine remains relatively unaltered, but the visual art forms have gone through a Revolution of sorts. Film, radio and many other innovations are being used extensively as means of providing cultural experiences for the masses.

## Economy and Production

The Commune of France follows an economic model best described as 'socialist, trade-unionist, semi-planned economy' France largely avoided the economic crisis that followed their civil war by following said model, being able to produce enough under the economic constraints to feed their people and to pay off some German reparations. The current Travailleur party opts for an industrialized civilian-based economy with militaristic elements, though many in government fear for the security of French interests and opt for a more militaristic approach. Particularly, rapid industrialization to modernize France and increase civilian, but more importantly, military production being advocated by many worker-oriented parties seems to be the direction of the economy, though the French Election of 1936 is said to be a point where the history of the Commune of France may forever change.
