Talk:Louis Blanc

I think we should have a Not To Be Confused With Louis Blanqui at the top

I know when I started learning about this period there being two socialists named Louis whose ideologies are called Blancism and Blanquism was really confusing, especially for Anglos who aren't listening for the difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.189.62 (talk) 20:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Louis Blanc (29 October 1811 – 6 December 1882) was a French politician and historian. He advocated for socialist reforms without revolution first, and called for the creation of job guarantees for the urban poor. Blanc coined the phrase "right to work", and his political and social ideas greatly contributed to the development of socialism in France. This photograph of Blanc was taken in 1848 by the French photographer Étienne Carjat.
