It has been a while since a Q Drop made my jaw drop. Mission accomplished. rearrange the post time to 54321? I just know it means boom.💥 A quick search of November 15 1847 with Google turns up a Friedrich Engels Letter to Karl Marx.

The whole of it is worth reading, but I left the most eye catching passage and footnote below. 'Lille Banquet',which Engels references in the next paragraph....Just check out this definition.

{Lille Banquet} Campagne des banquets - ...political meetings during the July Monarchy in France which destabilized the King of the French Louis-Philippe....The Banquets were private political meetings which were a way to turn around the 1835 Act prohibiting public assemblies.The first session was in Paris on 9 July 1847... electoral law reforms and larger enfranchisement were the topics discussed...progressively spread to all of the French provinces. The prohibition of one of these meetings by François Guizot's cabinet...were the immediate cause of the riots which led to Louis-Philippe's abdication.

Whoa. 🧐

Yesterday evening the election of delegates took place. After an extremely muddled session I was elected with a 2/3 [majority]. This time I had engaged in no intrigues. . . The opposition was merely a fiction; a working man was proposed for appearances’ sake, but those who proposed him voted for me.

....reference to the election of delegates from the Paris district to the Second Congress of the Communist League which was to meet in London on 29 November 1847.
