  The WSCR Archive: Karl Marx: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon: V
Bonaparte, in his turn, was therefore entitled to make tours of the French departments, and according to the disposition of the town he favored with his presence, now more or less covertly, now more or less overtly, to divulge his own restoration plans and canvass votes for himself.
In November, 1849, Bonaparte had contented himself with an unparliamentary ministry, in January, 1851, with an extra-parliamentary one, and on April 11 he felt strong enough to form an anti-parliamentary ministry, which harmoniously combined in itself the no-confidence votes of both Assemblies, the Constituent and the Legislative, the republican and the royalist.
Bonaparte, he assured him, regarded the influence of the National Assembly as completely destroyed, and the proclamation was already prepared that was to be published after the coup d'etat, which was kept steadily in view but was by chance again postponed.

  18 Brumaire at AllExperts
Napoléon Bonaparte in the "coup d'état" of 18 brumaire.
Dazzled by Bonaparte's victories in the East, the public ignored the impending calamitous ending of the Egyptian expedition, and received Bonaparte with an ardour which convinced Sieyès that he had found the general indispensable to his coup.
Bonaparte completed his coup within a coup by the adoption of a constitution under which the First Consul, a position he was sure to hold, had greater power than the other two.

I argue that the literary brilliance of The Eighteenth Brumaire concealed Marx's inability to come to terms with the centrality of the struggle over democracy and led him to abandon his materialist approach in favour of an ironising and moralistic denunciation of Louis Napoleon and the bourgeoisie of the Second Empire.
Brumaire, being one of the very few works that Marx could publish and edit twice during his lifetime, belongs to this ongoing, life long project of a double critique of politics and of political economy, although it comes in the guise of a piece of contemporary history and a polemic.
Brumaire comprises a detailed critique of parliamentarism, an outline of a critique of bureaucracy, even a shorthand critique of a democratic constitution and its intrinsic contradictions, and a critique of universal suffrage and the emerging form of political parties and “party politics” as well.

 The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
Caussidiere for Danton, Louis Blanc for Robespierre, the Montagne of 1848-51 for the Montagne of 1793-95, the Nephew for the Uncle.
And in Bonaparte the imperial pretender was so intimately bound up with the adventurer down on his luck that the one great idea, that he was called to restore the empire, was always supplemented by the other, that it was the mission of the French people to pay his debts.
Bonaparte, in his turn, was, therefore, entitled to make tours of the French departments, and, according to the disposition of the town that he favoured with his presence, now more or less covertly, now more or less overtly, to divulge his own restoration plans and canvass votes for himself.

 The Voice of the Turtle
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte was hastily written in the aftermath of the coup d'état of 2 December 1851, yet is justly considered Marx's best piece of political analysis.
The political analysis of the Eighteenth Brumaire updates and clarifies much of the story presented in the earlier Class Struggles in France, focusing more on the operation of the republican political institutions and less on the unmediated clash of class interests in the revolutionary politics of 1848.
President Bonaparte is able to appoint first a non- and then an extra-, then an anti-parliamentary ministry, and finally to mount his coup, which presents itself as the subversion of the bourgeois political institutions but ultimately works to secure the major bourgois interests.

The first period, from February 24, or the downfall of Louis Philippe, to May 4, 1848, the date of the assembling of the constitutive assembly--the February period proper--may be designated as the prologue of the revolution.
Upon the bourgeois monarchy of Louis Philippe, only the bourgeois republic could follow; that is to say, a limited portion of the bourgeoisie having ruled under the name of the king, now the whole bourgeoisie was to rule under the name of the people.
The election of Louis Bonaparte for President on December 10, 1848, put an end to the dictatorship of Cavaignac and to the constitutional assembly.

 The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte - Chapter IV
On November 1, Bonaparte surprised it with a message, in which he announced the dismissal of the Barrot-Falloux Ministry, and the framing of a new.
Bonaparte needed that Ministry in order to dissolve the republican constituent assembly, to effect the expedition against Rome, and to break up the democratic party.
While Bonaparte had thus found his ally in the Bourse, he at the same time took possession of the Police through the appointment of Carlier as Prefect of Police.

 Philosophic Dialogue: Marx's EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE today
Karl Marx published THE EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE OF LOUIS BONAPARTE in 1852 in the aftermath of the Dec. 2, 1851 Bonapartist coup in France that brought to an end the whole period of ferment that had begun with the 1848 revolutions.
The EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE was one place where Marx developed his theory of the state, something he had planned to complete in a major work that was to follow CAPITAL.
In the EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE, Marx showed how the road to the Bonapartist coup of December 1851 had been paved by the deep contradictions that had emerged in 1848, on the one hand, between the bourgeois democrats and the proletariat, and on the other, among the bourgeois democrats themselves.

He forgot to add: “Once as tragedy, and again as farce.” Caussidiere for Danton, Louis Blanc for Robespierre, the “Mountain” of 1848-51 for the “Mountain” of 1793-05, the Nephew for the Uncle.

Much of what the other authors of this week discuss is this concept, which The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte illustrates well.

 Bear Left!: 18th Brumaire of George Bonaparte
I submit that there is a better direct historical analogy to Napoleon Bonaparte's reign: Bush's first claim to power take place on the same day in the year as Napoleon's claim to power in 1799.
Not only has Bush not emerged from exile; not only is he not likely either to fight anyone in Belgium, or find it on a map; but he also is unlikely ever to face the massive might of the British army.
In addition to providing a counterpart to Napoleon Bonaparte, Bush also serves as a counterpart of sorts to Louis Bonaparte.

It may be considered the best work extant on the philosophy of history, with an eye especially upon the history of the Movement of the Proletariat, together with the bourgeois and other manifestations that accompany the same, and the tactics that such conditions dictate.
In July, 1830, an uprising of the upper tier of the bourgeoisie, or capitalist class--the aristocracy of finance-- overthrew the Bourbon throne, or landed aristocracy, and set up the throne of Orleans, a younger branch of the house of Bourbon, with Louis Philippe as king.
From the month in which this revolution occurred, Louis Philippe's monarchy is called the "July Monarchy.

 Matt Vidal: George W. Bonaparte
In his class analysis, Marx generally held that the state is either directly controlled by the capitalist class or that whoever is in control, their actions will be constrained by the imperatives of capitalist accumulation.
In his more specific applications of class analysis, such as the analysis of Louis Philippe's Eighteenth Brumaire, however, he made two arguments relevant for our current conditions.
Marx used the term Bonapartism to describe just his situation, when Louis Philippe, an elected president, established a military dictatorship and ran the French state against the interests of its capitalists.
