The Paris Commune of 1871 was the first socialist state and established the dictatorship of the proletariat. It lasted 72 days and was born out of conflict between the French government and the people of Paris after a military defeat. The Commune took control of Paris and established progressive social and political reforms, but it was ultimately crushed by the French government in what was known as the "Bloody Week". Though short-lived, the Paris Commune had a significant impact on socialist movements and was an inspiration for the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION OF 1789 AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE WORLD.pdfFaga1939
On July 14, 1789, the French Revolution represented a turning point in human history with the end of the Modern Age and the beginning of the Contemporary Age. It was such an important event that its ideals influenced various movements around the world. The French Revolution was mainly motivated by growing social inequality, the devastating economic crisis and the endemic hunger suffered by the vast majority of the population. The French Revolution was a social and political movement whose main objective was to overthrow the Ancien Régime and establish a democratic State that represented and guaranteed the rights of all citizens. The Parisian population took to the streets of the city to fight against this situation on July 12, 1789. King Louis XVI tried to react, but the people remained united, taking over the streets. The revolutionaries' slogan was "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity". The popular unrest did not subside and, on July 14, the people continued with their uprising, first attacking the Arsenal of the Invalides and then promoting the fall of the Bastille, which was an old fortress that had been transformed into a prison for the political opponents of the French kings.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Paris Commune 1871 was the first socialist state
1. 1
The Paris Commune of 1871
was the first socialist state
The dictatorship of the proletariat
had become a reality
Maegd Frans - March 18, 2021
The Paris Commune began on March 18, 1871
Although it lasted only 72 days, the Paris Commune was the first
successful proletarian revolution, by which the working class destroyed
the old bourgeois state power and established the dictatorship of the
proletariat. Frederic Engels explicitly called the Commune the
dictatorship of the proletariat, although all the so-called "Marxists" of all
languages try to hide this fact.
Already during the Paris Commune, at the beginning of May, when its
defeat was certain, Karl Marx, in his work “The Civil War in France”,
underlined the historical importance of the Commune for the
communists of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
As president of the First International, Karl Marx wrote that "Even if the
Commune is crushed, the fight will only be postponed".
In the summer of 1917, in "State and Revolution", Lenin took the
experience of the Paris Commune as the base to prepare the October
revolution and the Soviet power. The Bolsheviks adopted all the
positive aspects of the Paris Commune, and consciously fend off all its
negative aspects.
The Paris Commune was decisive for the Soviet power.
The Paris Commune was born out of the first modern Franco-German
war of 1870 and 1871. In July 1870, to prevent the unification of
Germany under Bismarck, Napoleon the Third launched a war against
2. 2
Prussia and Bavaria.
Napoleon was defeated at Sedan, at the Franco-German border. The
people of Paris revolted and proclaimed the Third Republic. The new
government of national defense was led by the bourgeoisie. Instead of
defending itself, it prepared for capitulation (just as the French
government would do in May 1940, during the invasion of France by
Nazi Germany).
In September 1870, the German army had completely surrounded
Paris, and through famine and bombardments, it tried to force it to
capitulate. But the Parisians held on. The rich had long fled the city, as
had the government.
Now the workers had the arms, and had formed a total of 200
battalions and around 100,000 National Guards. People had bought
their own weapons to defend the city.
On February 28, the Thiers government signed the capitulation with
terrible consequences for France and the French people: the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine, the payment of billions of war taxes reparations. The
Parisians, ordered to hand over their weapons, refused to do.
On March 18, government troops sneaked into Paris to drag the
Communards' cannons to the Butte Montmartre (where the horrible
"Sacré Coeur" church stands today), but failed in their attempt. Paris
revolted, and, in the evening, the insurgents occupied the City Hall, and
the National Guard took power.
On March 26, elections were held. Out of the 86 people elected, 30
were members of the International, the Marxists being a minority
among those.
The Commune took crucial political decisions
One of the first measures adopted was the abolition of the permanent
army, which was replaced by the National Guard, the people's militia.
Another was that the members of the Commune could be replaced at
any time. Most of them were workers or recognized representatives of
the working class. The Commune was not intended to be a
3. 3
parliamentary body. It was rather a working body having both executive
and legislative functions. The members of the Commune and those of
the Civil Service worked for a laborer's salary."
By abolishing the two most expensive expenses of the old state, those
of the army and the bureaucracy, and by giving all the power to the
people, the Commune was a government at low cost. Many tasks,
formerly carried out by civil servants, were taken over by the workers
themselves, usually at their spare time.
The Commune proclaimed the separation of Church and State.
The Commune also had an international character. It elected a
Hungarian named Frankel as labor commissioner, and two Polish
generals, Dombrowski and Wroblewski, to lead the military defense of
Paris.
The Commune also established a series of fundamental social
measures, including the following:
- Abandoned workshops were to be transformed into cooperatives
placed under the control of the workers.
- A minimum wage was established.
- Legal actions and legal assistance became free of charge.
- Education became free, and a great attention was given to girls’
education.
- Pensions for widows and orphans of war victims.
- Food banks and canteens for the poor.
- Gambling and street prostitution were prohibited.
- The guillotine was burned on April 6.
But the Commune did not manage to expropriate the Bank of France,
which continued to finance the Thiers government, and disperse the
Thiers government, which had withdrawn from Paris and taken refuge
4. 4
in Versailles. These conditions would have assured the victory of the
revolution throughout France.
The fall of the Commune
From April, the Thiers government prepared the counter-attack with the
help of Germans, and by freeing 100,000 prisoners to reinforce its
army.
Again Paris was surrounded, in the north by the Germans, and in the
south by government troops.
On May 21, the Tiers government troops succeeded in entering Paris,
and carried out what was called the "Bloody week", during which Paris
was reconquered. The repression was terrible. 30,000 Parisians,
including women and children, lost their lives in the fighting. Some
45,000 people were sentenced, some of whom were deported to New
Caledonia. 100,000 Parisians fled to London where they were
welcomed by the International, Marx and his daughters.
Better the next time
This terrible defeat was a great trauma for the international labor
movement, and the cause of a deep division within the International.
The reformist current of the right declared that "it was the failure of a
beautiful dream". This should never happen again. We have to choose
another path”.
As for the Marxist and revolutionary current, it declared that "it was a
heroic attempt. It will be better next time". We must choose the same
path".
And this happened with the October 1917 Revolution.
Long life to the Commune!
Long live the socialist revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat!
