Legit question

Okay, can someone explain to me what the hell happened to the IWW and basically made them vanish when they have such a massive influence in the work force previously.

the red scare + liberalization of unions + the fall of industrial work

The feds and a lot of rope/bullets

Red scare. Intelligence agency fuckery. The New Deal took the pressure off the people so they were less inclined to be so militant.

Followup, how's the IWW today? Still radicalized at all, or did it just turn into, how the CPUSA did, a liberal puppet?

Wobble

IWW has an official position to never support politicians (at least currently), so they are by their bylaws are immune to reformism

Palmer Raids

they're growing since the election of Trump

Reagan.

Noice

they're also a bunch of idpol papers nowadays

anarcho syndicalism was always doomed

t. state syndicalist

I want to get into De Leon's work. Where's a good place to start?

Also, what does the IWW do now that most industry jobs have been outsourced?

They mostly organize fast food workers and prisoners. I think recently they boycotted Wendy's and Jimmy Johns.

Damn I hope IWW can return to former glory.

I didn't know about that one.

hello benito

I'm not sure but I'll be carrying a sign for them on May Day. One big union is the only meaningful union.

Hey, if it works, it works. Uphold the immortal science of Marxist-Mussolinism

In all seriousness tho, if he didn't go off his rocker and stayed socialist in name, and didn't become butt buddies with Schicklgruber, you'd probably see people here posting edgy memes about him

Feels very, very bad, man.

feels even worse man

Idpol is a lie, "identity politics" exists today purely as a reaction to opposition by regressive conservatives to the way people are from the day they are born (skin color, sexuality, gender/sex, all spooks in themselves), you legitimately are trying to help the spooks thrive without even being aware of it, your opposition to "idpol" is destroying the left.

nah, pretty sure Buzzfeed is.

Spooks exist because of the people reacting to them, not the people embracing them and reacting to the reactions. If racism did not exist, race would not be a spook. If sexism did not exist, sex and gender inequality would not be a spook. "Idpol" people are not the ones creating the spooks, they are purely human people who believe they are defending themselves from a vicious and violent attack on their very being.

Maybe, but not Buzzfeed, Kotaku, et al., nor Clinton trying to appeal to the demographic without a proper platform.

You're too cynical. And really, you're just buying into the alt-right/YouTube meme that those outlets are horrid race baiters. I agree to a point, Hillary Clinton's messages on race and gender issues were vague and weak, but a Democrat can't be strong on those issues otherwise they will lose millions of votes, because there are a lot of conservative Democrats who don't believe transgender people should use the restroom that corresponds to their gender, and that black people are genetically violent monkeys.

thoughts on Mosley?
I like him tbh
his predictions of the future horrors of consumer capitalism hit the nail on the head
he knew what was coming

Goddamn Kr is such a good timeline, I want Chairman Snowden, LET ME BE WITH CHAIRMAN SNOWDEN.

I remember a while back someone mentioned that Rosa's revolt influenced him, but I didn't know he was actually there.

Tho I am def see him liking Rosa's notion that Poland had no right to exist.

Why do idpolers ruin everything?

Truly a rolemodel.

Opportunist who bet on the wrong horse.

based

what happened to him? why did he become such a massive faggot afterwards?
