A packet comprising a complete run in two unnumbered issues of The Commune's eponymous newsletter; a fold-out flyer titled "Resistance or Revolution?" explaining the (deserving) disdain segments of the working class have for radical students; and a laid-in flyer titled, "The Wilting of a Couple of Flowers: the Decrepitude of Student Life." The first issue of Commune was published on April 8, 1968 and begins by memorializing Martin Luther King's death on April 4. This is followed by an essay, "Racism: The White Nigger and the Revolution." The second issue was published on April 27, 1968, and includes essays on student radicals, a comparison of ghetto riots and the trade union movement, and elections. "Resistance or Revolution?" is stamped Dec. 13, 1967 and appears to have predated the newsletter. "Wilting" is undated. Little is known about The Commune and its members, but belying its hippy-sounding name, the group was primarily focused on building a working class revolutionary movement. To that end, they criticized the "anti-proletarian prejudice of upper-middle-class student radicals" and their "patchwork of desperately violent phrases and liberal nostrums" (Commune, p. 3). Although copies of the newsletter will emerge occasionally, we've never come across the included flyers. Side-stapled, mimeographed 8 ½" x 11" sheets, 6; [2] p. The tipped-in flyer unfolds to 14" x 10" and the laid-in flyer is mimeographed on the recto of an 8 ½" x 14" sheet of blue stock. All about Near Fine. We could only locate the bulletin at Univ. of Michigan and "Wilting" at UC Davis. "Resistance" not found separately catalogued by us.
