18 brumer Ludwika Bonaparte

Book •
Karl Marx's 'The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte' dissects the historical events surrounding Louis Bonaparte's coup in 1851.

The essay examines the class struggles and political maneuvers that allowed Bonaparte to seize power, transforming France from a republic to a dictatorship.

Marx famously wrote, 'History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce,' highlighting his view that Bonaparte's regime was a degraded imitation of Napoleon I's rule.

The work offers insights into the nature of bourgeois society, the role of the state, and the dynamics of political revolutions.

It remains a seminal text in Marxist theory and a valuable analysis of power, class, and historical repetition.
