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?

ALONE?

Wow managing a business (AKA doing paperwork and sitting around) is so much harder than working a fucking coal mine, they definitely deserved all that
