commune, n.Definitions

Commune (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠to be a working, not a parliamentary body — executive and legislative at once, its officials revocable and paid workmen's wages.

The Commune (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a thoroughly expansive political form, where all previous governments had been emphatically repressive — its secret: the political form at last discovered for the economic emancipation of labor.
