FREDERICK ENGELS
London, on the 20th anniversary
of the Paris Commune, March 18, 1891.
Introduction to Civil War in France
This should not just be on a libertarian list. It is in praise of the
"dictatorship of the proletariat" as illustrated in the Paris Commune of 1871!
I only got this by going to the Exeter mirror site of the Marx Engels
Archive. This has a warning that it is "fearfully out of date", and advice
to go the the "Marxists" archive.
What has happened to the Marx Engels Internet Archive at Colorado, which
has a search engine? This is a serious loss.
This used to be at http://csf.COLORADO.EDU/psn/marx/
When I clicked on this recently it took me straight to the "Marxists.org
Internet Archive"
This has a drop down menu with Marx Engels as the first choice. When you
click on "Enter Archive" you at
www.marxists.org/archive/marx/
This has no search engine, and lacks much of the other supportive material,
and I suspect, texts of the earlier site.
Hopefully there is just a problem of links. Does anyone know?
