Clusare's Strategy for the War on Versailles

Clusere tried to create a top down military organization out of a bunch of bottom up social democrats. He also tried to undo the damage done by the system of electing officers as officers were usually elected not on merit, but by who promised the most or demanded the least. In the end, though, it didn't really matter, because in his final analysis, clusere determined that there was no way for paris to win the war against versailles in any meaningful sense. All they could hope for was to hold out long enough for the rest of france to pressure the versailles government to break off the fight and come to peaceful terms.
