 The WSCR Archive: Karl Marx: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: VII
Just as the Bourbons were the dynasty of the big landed property and the Orleans the dynasty of money, so the Bonapartes are the dynasty of the peasants, that is, the French masses.
Bonaparte knows how to pose at,.he same time as the representative of the peasants and of the people in general, as a man who wants to make the lower classes happy within the framework of bourgeois society.
But above all, Bonaparte knows how to pose as the Chief of the Society of December 10, as the representative of the lumpen proletariat to which he himself, his entourage, his government, and his army belong, and whose main object is to benefit itself and draw California lottery prizes from the state treasury.

Joseph Bonaparte, who in 1797, from an attorney's clerk at Ajaccio, in Corsica, was at once transformed into an Ambassador to the Court of Rome, had hardly read a treaty, or seen a despatch written, before he was himself to conclude the one, and to dictate the other.
Of the prelates who with Joseph Bonaparte signed the concordat, the Cardinal Gonsalvi and the Bishop Bernier have, by their labours and intrigues, not a little contributed to the present Church establishment, in this country; and to them Napoleon is much indebted for the intrusion of the Bonaparte, dynasty, among the houses of sovereign Princes.
I have not so bad an opinion of Bonaparte as to think him capable of wilfully condemning any person to death or transportation, of whose innocence he was convinced, provided that person stood not in the way of his interest and ambition; but suspicion and tyranny are inseparable companions, and injustice their common progeny.

Bonaparte himself was no longer particularly keen to fight and sent urgent messengers to Austria, Prussia and England indicating that he had no expansionist ambitions this time and wished France
His nephew, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte would, whilst sitting as French President in 1851 stage a second 'Coup de Brumaire' and declare himself Emperor Napoleon the 3rd, a regime that was to last until the Franco-Prussian war of 1871 but would have none of the impact of its predecessor.

 RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SUCCESSION, by BRIEN HORAN
The attitude of the older generation of the dynasty is typified by the late Grand Duchess Xenia of Russia (sister of Nicholas II and wife of Grand Duke Alexander), who died in 1960: she did not consider any of her many grandsons to be Russian dynasts, because they were all morganatic.
It is always within the authority of the head of a formerly reigning dynasty to be the final arbiter on the question of whether a marriage is equal for purposes of the dynasty's laws.
And the fact that the only equal marriages in the Russian dynasty after 1917 were contracted by the descendants of the Grand Duke Kirill shows that the senior line was the only branch of the dynasty that considered itself duty-bound, generation after generation in the post-revolutionary years, to have an eligible heir available.

 Eighteenth Brumaire: Chapter 7 (abstract)
The seignorial privileges of the landowners and towns became transformed into so many attributes of the state power; the feudal dignitaries into paid officials, and the motley patterns of conflicting medieval plenary powers into a regulated plan of a state authority whose work is divided and centralized as in a factory.
As against the bourgeoisie, Bonaparte looks on himself, at the same time, as the representative of the peasants and of the people in general, who wants to make the lower classes happy within the framework of bourgeois society.
But above all, Bonaparte knows how to pose as the Chief of the Society of December 10, as the representative of the lumpenproletariat to which he himself, his entourage, his government, and his army belong, and whose main object is to benefit itself and draw California lottery prizes from the state treasury.

 The Two Marxisms, Ch 10 - "Anomalies and the Evolution of Early Marxism," by Alvin W. Gouldner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The classical site of the anomaly problem in Marxism is, of course, Marx's Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte in which, as already noted, he accents the relative autonomy of ideology and of the political sphere, at some appreciable remove from the more economistic stipulations of the primary paradigm.
Marx then reiterates his view of Bonaparte's state as "the executive which has made itself independent," even though representative of some of the peasantry.
The confusion of Marx's account of Bonapartism is complete when he drops the peasantry and suddenly claims that Bonaparte is actually representative of the lumpen proletariat: "the representative of the lumpen proletariat to which he himself, his entourage, his government, and his army belong, and whose main object is to benefit himself.''
