This has been a year of anniversaries: one hundred and fifty years since the Paris Commune and the birth of Rosa Luxemburg; one hundred years since the Kronstadt uprising. There have been numerous events and conferences to commemorate these events. Here I want to think about them together in an attempt to consider the importance of the fifty year period 1871-1921 and what it suggests about the century that divides us from that time.
