They’ve been around for awhile.

They never amounted to much except in the lumber camps of the NW.

More pie in the sky stuff.

Definitely socialist.

They were called “Wobblies”.

The latter-day IWW are just bitter clingers to long-past glory days. They definitely are not workers. That doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous, though. They’ll still do a lot of damage to persons and property, just to assert themselves.

My grandfather was a wobblie.

These guys are anarchist that have nothing in common with workers.
