Lemmy.ml coming through with that Marxism soapbox again
Guess what, you’re on lemmy.ml, and this is a syndicalism comm.
They shot at people trying to unionize, and if it wasn't for Marxism they would have succeeded. Show a little respect for the people who literally risked death to ensure we wouldn't all be enslaved in company towns.
Nobody remembers why they have the weekend or the forty hour work week, because we’ve been memory-holed thanks to two red scares and a cold war 😔
This is the IWW community, it’s a syndicalist union
Let me stop you there. Because that's all this is, a community - within a decentralized social network. And that's awesome. But don't marginalize the IWW by pointing to this comm like it perfectly represents the IWW's ideology.
I honestly think that many of the Marxists and Communists I meet in the ActivityPub universe are some really great folks, but you bunch are way to serious.
