Networks & mobilization

On March 18, 1871, the people of Paris rose against a despised and detested government, and proclaimed the city independent, free, belonging to itself. … The government evaporated like a pond of stagnant water in a spring breeze …

Recall the three "images of statelessness" from our Feb 28 class:
- "All against all" (Hobbes)
-"Natural law" (Locke)
- "Social institutions" (anarchism)
How can Gould's analysis of the Paris Commune inform a comparison of those three images?
Is the Commune an example of statelessness?
Does it support any one of those images over the others?
Can it serve as a (counter)example to any of the images?
Does it complicate the idea of statelessness?
