One of the defining moments of American history was the Coal Wars from the 1870’s to the 1930’s
Which were a series of intense conflicts between coal miners and business owners
Most notably the Battle of Blair Mountain
Where 100 were killed and 985 were arrested
Most of these took place in WV btw
what does this have to do with socialism?
The IWW also heavily influenced these events
Nigga they were Labour uprisings trying to overthrow their capitalist businesses
How the fuck is that not socialist
but soshulizm is when da gubbermint does things
so dirty communists trying to steal shit that isnt theirs?
got it
In total thousands died and even more were arrested
"isnt theirs"
@DA GOMMIE JOO nice strawman
they produce everything that the "business owners" own
"isn't theirs"
the coal miners didn't own the coal they were mining I guess
and get only a small share of it
that's essentially stealing
>isn’t theirs
>working in a shitty mine for hours on end and almost dying while your boss takes most of he profits from your work
jesus fucking christ learn economics and the history of capitalism
Yeah definitely wasn’t their right to own that business
their labor is worthless without the owner
"learn economics"

Wow please do research on literally any commune ever
you think those poor miners owned the mining equipment?
they bought the land?
"labor is worthless without the owner"
they manage the businees?
are you saying that the production value will suddenly dissapear along with the owner?
They didn’t own it but they had a right to it
they hire the teamsters?
they sell the goods?
they do those things?
essentially
no they dont
you are too much of a brainlet
hiring teamsters, selling goods etc requires a ton of extra personnel
are you actually thinking that large business owners handle that shit on their own?
