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.

    Knowing what the First International was is pretty useless information.

    God please don’t.

    Every day I sit here and I think, "Jesus fucking Christ if people paid a little more attention to history they think is pointless, we may have slightly fewer problems now."
