В Париже есть станция метро, называется именем Луи Блана. Когда я проезжаю, у меня в глазах появляются слезы гордости. Я горжусь, что этот великий социалист, возможно, родственник Ленина*
Louis Jean Joseph Charles Blanc ( 29 October 1811 – 6 December 1882) was a French politician and historian. A socialist who favored reforms, he called for the creation of cooperatives in order to guarantee employment for the urban poor. Although Blanc's ideas of the workers' cooperatives were never realized, his political and social ideas greatly contributed to the development of socialism in France. He wanted the government to encourage co-operatives and replace capitalist enterprises. These co-operatives were to be associations of people who produced together and divided the profit accordingly.
Following the Revolution of 1848, Blanc became a member of the provisional government and began advocating for cooperatives which would be initially aided by the government but ultimately controlled by the workers themselves. Blanc's advocacy failed and, caught between radical worker tendencies and the National Guard, he was forced into exile. Blanc returned to France in 1870, shortly before the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian war and served as a member of the National Assembly. While he did not support the Paris Commune, Blanc successfully proposed amnesty to the Communards.
Capitalism
Blanc is sometime cited as the first person to use the word capitalism in something like its modern form. While he did not mean the economic system described by Karl Marx in Das Kapital, Blanc sowed the seeds of that usage, coining the word to mean the holding of capital away from others:
What I call 'capitalism' that is to say the appropriation of capital by some to the exclusion of others.
— Organisation du Travail (1851)
Reformist socialism
Blanc was unusual in advocating for socialism without revolution first.
Right to work
Blanc invented the right to work with his Le Droit au Travail.
Religion
Blanc resisted what he perceived as the atheism implicit in Hegel, claiming that it corresponded to anarchism in politics and was not an adequate basis for democracy. Engels claimed that "Parisiann reformers of the Louis Blanc trend" could only imagine atheists as monsters.
Instead, Blanc claimed that religion was foundational for revolution to take place, in keeping with the romantic tradition. He regarded liberalism and Protestantism as part of the same historical and ideological movement and accordingly considered the French Revolution of 1789 as a political outgrowth of the individualistic rejection of authority inherent in Protestantism and heretical movements. Blanc thought the best of the revolution was the Jacobin dictatorship in the communitarian spirit of Catholicism. Blanc himself sought to combine Catholicism and Protestantism in order to synthesize the values of authority, community, and individualism that he both affirmed as necessary for community. He was unusual in combining Catholicism and socialism.
Along with Etienne Cabet, Blanc advocated for what he understood as true Christianity while simultaneously critiquing the religion of Catholic clergy. He was hopeful about the religious innovation taking place in early revolutionary france. His understanding of God was shaped by romanticism and was similar to Rousseau, Phillipe Buchez and Respail.

*) "Фамилия же Бланк, используемая в том числе евреями, могла быть связана с французским (англ. blanc, «белый, чистый, невинный») либо немецким (нем. blank, «белый, чистый») происхождением родителей родившегося в Минске основоположника рода Мойше Бланка. Тем не менее, по невыясненным причинам минская еврейская община якобы сначала не хотела регистрировать его евреем, но потом всё-таки зарегистрировала с фамилией, по предположению А.И. Ульяновой, «французского корня».
В сентябре 1846 года Мойше Бланк отправил императору Николаю I прошение, в котором объяснял, что уже «40 лет назад» он «отрёкся от Евреев», но из-за «чрезмерно набожной жены», скончавшейся в 1834-м, принял христианство и получил имя Дмитрия (в соответствии с отчеством своих крестившихся ранее сыновей) лишь 1 января 1835 года. В этом же письме Дмитрий (Мойше) Бланк предлагал в целях ассимиляции евреев запретить им ношение национальной одежды, а главное, обязать их молиться в синагогах за российского императора и императорскую фамилию. В октябре 1846 года письмо было доведено до сведения Николая I. Царь полностью согласился с предложениями «крещеного еврея Бланка», но, как считает В.Т. Логинов, из-за медленного движения дел только в 1850-м евреям запретили ношение национальной одежды, а в 1854-м ввели предложенный Бланком текст молитвы" /вики/
