The other rights of the Commune are, always be it understood, according to the declaration made to the French people: “The choice by election or competition; with the responsibility and the permanent right of control over magistrates and communal functionaries of every class; “The absolute guarantee of individual liberty, of liberty of conscience, and of liberty of labour; “The permanent participation of the citizens in Communal affairs by the free manifestations of their opinions, and the free defence of their interests: guarantees to this effect to be given by the Commune, the only power charged with the surveillance and the protection of the full and just exercise of the rights of meeting and publicity; “The organisation of the city defences and of the National Guard, which elects its own officers, and alone ensures the maintenance of order in the city.” With regard to the affirmation of these rights we may repeat that which we have said above, that some of them really belong to the Commune, but that the greater part of them do not. “Paris desires nothing more in the way of local guarantees, on condition, let it be understood, of finding in the great central administration ...” “... In the great central administration appointed by the federated Commune the realisation and the practice of the same principles.” That is to say, in other words, that Paris will consent willingly to be of the same opinion as others, if all the world is of the same opinion as itself. “But, thanks to its independence, and profiting by its liberty of action, Paris reserves to itself the right of effecting, as it pleases, the administrative and economic reforms demanded by the population; to create proper institutions for the development and propagation of instruction, production, commerce, and credit; to universalize power and property,...” Whew! Universalize property! Pray what does that mean, may I ask? Communalism here presents a singular likeness to Communism!
