Today in Labor History February 23, 1903: Jean-Baptiste Clement died. Clement was a socialist and Paris Communard, poet, singer and composer of the famous song, “The Time of Cherries.” He was one of the last on the barricades during the Commune. He escaped and fled to England. The French authorities condemned him to death, in absentia. They later granted him amnesty and he returned to France in 1879. He helped found the Revolutionary Socialist Workers Party in 1890. Paris has since named schools and a street after him.

Musographes Feb 23

Je fustige trop souvent l'indignation inculte pour ne pas avouer quand je m'en rends coupable. Après avoir pesté, lors d'une visite au musée d'Orsay, contre le fait que dans leur présentation des travaux du préfet Hausmann ils ne précisaient pas son intention "d'empêcher le peuple de faire des barricades", et après leur avoir fait un procès d'intention, j'ai appris que c'était une pure légende urbaine.

Today in Labor History January 5, 1968: Reformist Alexander Dubček came to power in Czechoslovakia, marking the beginning of the "Prague Spring." During the Prague Spring, Dubček loosened restrictions on the media, speech and travel. He also created a dual federation within the country made up of the Czech Socialist Republic and Slovak Socialist Republic. However, this was insufficient to mollify activists, who became increasingly defiant of the government. They began to occupy workplaces and formed mutual aid networks. When the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact members invaded the country with tanks and 650,000 soldiers, activists fought them with rocks, Molotov cocktails and homemade weapons. The Soviet military predicted they would subdue the country in four days, but the resistance held out for eight months. When they finally quashed the uprising, the Soviets continued to control Czechoslovakia until 1989, when the Velvet Revolution finally ended the Communist regime.

Santiago, Chile: Barricades in Memory of the Anarchist Comrade Sebastián Oversluij

«Anarchic memory gives continuity to the fight to which many comrades contributed and nourished. We do not forget them. (…) Its fire continues to light the streets».

Hooded people set up barricades in Villa Portales in memory of the anarchist comrade Sebastián Oversluij on the verge of marking 12 years since his murder following an attempted expropriation of a bank branch in the commune of Pudahuel.

Nothing is settled.
We do not forget, we do not forgive.
Choose your pack wisely, to continue in combat.

Today in Labor History November 21, 1831: Silk workers went on strike in Lyon, France. However, when the National Guard killed several workers, the entire city soon rose up in an insurrection known as the First Canut Revolt. Workers captured the police barracks and stole the weapons. They set up barricades and hoisted the black flag. The military guard attempted to stop them, but had to retreat under a hail of bullets. National Guardsmen switched sides and joined the rebels. After a bloody battle with the military guard, in which over 170 died, the rebels captured the town. However, the authorities ultimately subdued the uprising when a much larger military force was sent in from Paris.
