About the First International, the Paris Commune, and the socialist split.
One: the First International.
The International Workingmen's Association, known as the First International, was an organisation campaigning for workers' rights. They existed from 1864 to 1876. They organised strikes all over Europe, and showed the usefulness of unions and class solidarity. They weren't revolutionary, in that they didn't aim at dismantling the system, but this was a very foundational moment.
And people complain about leftist debate now
Explanation:
The First International was a international organisation of left-wing radicals with two mayor factions, the anarchists lead by Mikhail Bakunin and the communists lead by Karl Marx. Bakunin made many antijudaist (the concept of antisemitism was only coined later by the Nazis) remarks, especially regarding the ethnically Jewish Marx. Marx also made antijudaist remarks, in On the Jewish Question he equates Judaism with huckstering. He also calls Ferdinand Lassalle a Jewish n-word. It is worth noting that antijudaism was not essential to either ones thought, nor are they valued for the antijudaism.

The West of Scotland Cricket ground is the home of the first international football match. And today they celebrate the first international match between England and Scotland. The game changed that day as English footballers were introduced to the Scottish passing style and modern football was born.
So what are the SFA, FA, UEFA or FIFA doing? Sweet FA.
