I have always heard he was a Commie. That is why the media loved him so much.

Based on the description of the IWW philosophy, I would say my Comparative Political Systems Prof was a Wobbly. He was all for “workers controlling the means of production.”. I’ve always wondered how he would have reacted to my suggestion that students control the means of production of grades.

Sorry to go down the rabbit hole Homer.
