The same Civil War in France publicly defends Commune violence against Versailles; that defence is a humanitarian-risk heading
Dated 15 June 1871: The same Civil War in France publicly defends Commune violence against Versailles; that defence is a humanitarian-risk heading.

Read the full account
Two paths. Karl Marx's documented role is: Mixed-effect twin. He did not hold a barricade. The text's defence of force is the path.
Context
Versailles massacre is Thiers's file. This stores Marx's printed defence. Driver humanitarian-access is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
Why it matters
Defending revolutionary killing in print is a humanitarian path. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.
If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Two paths.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
Naming Karl Marx does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1871-06-15 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
