Although the Paris Commune took place a century-and-a-half ago, the echoes of this ephemeral revolution resonate throughout history to animate social movements aspiring to radical and popular democracy. Today, in 2021, communalist movements are embodying the revolutionary spirit of 1871 with direct democracy principles applied all over France. This article analyses direct democracy principles during the Paris Commune, the communalist ideal theorized by Murray Bookchin, and the legacy of the Paris Commune in contemporary direct democracy movement.
