Are you familiar with Anarcho syndicalism?
You may be more sympathetic to national syndicalism
The workers don’t have the Capital to create a business from scratch
Yes, due to living under the capitalist system in which it forced you to
I don’t like Syndicalism
It gives government control to unions
The last thing I would want is a Union running government
Where I live Unions have a history of corruption
Much more than government ever did
Yeah, unions have become more corrupt
Mostly due to government infiltration
The Industrial Workers of the World hasn't been corrupted, luckily
I don’t think corruption is a measure of government
Corruption can also be a measure of class infiltration too
Such as letting your boss into the union
I think that the Workers of the World have been corrupted by a multitude of factors
Less so by unions, and more so by society itself
The IWW’s structure makes it a lot more difficult to be infiltrated, though feds can join and go to the meetings it’s comical that they would be able to take it over like a political party
Though it’s a serious issue, the feds struggle to take over unions in the same way, and it’s a lot easier for them to be discredited rather than hijacked
True. In the modern age less and less people join unions
Unions first started out where a bunch of workers in the factory would band together and all strike on the same day
Yeah
Other factory workplaces would get involved too
Soon, to survive in a capitalists system, you now need to pay to join the union
And they would Poole their money to create an organisation
Become more like a business than a helpful guide
Think the capitalist system in the West is limited by government intervention
The state is used as a tool to protect class interests
Hey do you want to talk in “International voice chat”?
Don't have a mic
Would be much easier
Oh ok
And also did you want to join the discord I was shilling for earlier?
Lots of nazis in this server already, but yeah ok
Nice
I’m sending a friend request
I love this... we can now respond to the fake claims people are racist by countering that they are only making the accusation about racism because the ones they are accusing are jewish
it delegitimizes the whole concept of attacking people based on made-up stuff
which hurts the left
