RESOLUTIONS  OF THE MEETING  HELD TO  CELEBRATE
THE ANNIVERSARY  OF THE PARIS COMMUNE 376
[I]
“That this meeting assembled to celebrate the anniversary of the 18th March last, declares, that it looks upon
the glorious movement inaugurated upon the 18th March,
1871, as the dawn of the great social revolution which will
for ever free the human race from class rule.”
[II]
“That the incapacity and the crimes of the middle classes,
extended all over Europe by their hatred against the
working classes, have doomed old society no matter under
what form of government—Monarchical or Republican.”
[HI]
“That the crusade of all governments against the International, and the terror of the murderers of Versailles as
well as of their Prussian conquerors, attest the hollowness
of their successes, and the presence of the threatening
army of the proletariat of the whole world gathering in
the rear of its heroic vanguard crushed by the combined
forces of Thiers and William of Prussia.”
