<human>:  I have a question about the 1789 Paris Commune. What was the Commune?
<bot>: The Paris Commune was a revolutionary government that ruled Paris from March to May of 1871. It was a socialist government that was based on the ideas of Karl Marx. The Commune was formed after the French government had been overthrown by the French people. The Commune was a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
