While Nappy 3 wasn't his uncle, he was actually a pretty competent guy as long as you didn't put him near an army and just let him appoint people to execute his ideas. Just because they start as failsons doesn't mean they stay that way. He just had the misfortune of living in a time when Bismarck also lived and where material conditions weakened the French hold on Europe.
Haussman for instance single handedly made Parisian revolts nearly unviable with his urban renewal strategy. the Commune had a much harder time of it than the Sans-Culottes or the Les Mis crowd.
Marx belabors the point a bit there I think.
