Paris Commune was the crucible and exam of both theory and praxis - it was mostly utopian socialists (lassalites were the most numerous group i think), that shown clearly that revolution works and socialism works, but the utopias are not enough.
Sort of – there were various tendencies involved, including anarchists. But Engels considered it the first dictatorship of the proletariat. Remember too that in 1871, the theory of the proletarian state was still somewhat in its infancy (which is one reason why the commune was crushed). The big divide between communists and anarchists was actually over whether peasants or the industrial workers were the real revolutionary class. The Paris commune proceeded from industrial workers, which put it firmly in the communist camp.
Since it was during the life of Karl Marx, there wasn’t much “marxism” so to say if I understand well enough. It looked like more of an early worker revolt, the ones that inspired Marx and not the other way around. There were probably anarchists since anarchism is a bit older but also pretty niche
Wasn’t paris more of an anarchist doing
