    Yep, everybody should just give up because progress requires struggle and sometimes we lose. No use fighting greed and inequality. We’re all screwed.

    Go home and hide under the covers. I’m going the the next fight.

    ok BENJAMIN
    how many in the usa actually pay dues to the wobblies?

  4. MisterTusk says:

    Couldn’t influence working stiffs meaningfully unless he was a working stiff himself. But who is he?

  5. Benjammin911 says:

    Damn right he’s influential. He’s a working stiff just like the rest of us.

  6. Benjammin911 says:

    #1) Last count, we had at least 115 million members in the US (they just don’t know it yet). #2) Since 1905, there has not been one single day that the IWW and its members have not been out on the street fighting the bosses, supporting their fellow workers, and trying to educate the working class of the power that it possesses. And well keep on doing it ’till the cows come home.

  7. xgenra says:

    how many people in the USA belong to the IWW?
    and, what has the IWW done lately (since the start of the recession.) to improve wages for the rank and file?

  8. MisterTusk says:

    Hey, I got a question. Guy in the black shirt, red tie, and what appears to be a sunglass monocle; what’s his name? I assume he is someone influential.

    Fellow workers, join the One Big Union; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

    When I heard on NPR that he had died I screamed. I had the good fortune to see one of his concerts it was so funny my sides were hurting from laughing so much

    The USA mate? It’s gone wrong for working people all over the world. Capitalism is the disease, the IWW is the cure!
