Thanks. I think “communisme” was the term for socialism preferred in France. Socialism was an English term.
Nicolas Restif was from a peasant family. His adult life was spent among the poorest of the Parisian proletariat, although he would have been a comfortably well-off rich peasant had he stayed with his family in Burgundy.
The proletariat of Paris grew familiar with him as their chronicler and knew him as “the owl” because of his nocturnal wanderings. I believe some of his graffiti still survives, although most will have perished during Hausmann’s overhaul of the city in the 19th century.
