Abstract:
Based on an examination of the impacts that the Paris Commune produced on the theory of the state and revolution in Marx, I discuss in a simplified form some of the advances and challenges in that theory. With this objective, I examine some aspects of contemporary governments that present themselves as antisystemtic. The goal is to contribute to the formulation of minimum parameters for a frank and productive dialogue between forces that currently proclaim themselves to be oriented toward socialist transformation.

Keywords: Paris Commune. Soviets. Political power. Socialist revolution.
