She’s a socialist. That’s a crime to criminal Nazis. Hope she makes it.

I thought so too.

KOMO is the one reporting on this? That's... interesting...

This is also the time of the Bolshevik counterrevolution. When the world watched as an authoritarian regime brutally repressed many and consolidated power. What better way to destroy the labor movement than by attaching it to the Bolsheviks?

This is where unions came from. By the early 1900’s, the anarcho syndicalist movement had spread across the globe and the IWW (industrial workers of the world) was one of the largest international unions. Many members of other unions were also IWW members of “2 card” members, they were called.

The labor movement formed in the late 1800’s and was heavily influenced by ANARCHIST. The first Labor Halls were called “people’s palaces” and were created by working class people raising funds to build them. They were what we call “third places” where working class people came together to organize.

Where the strike failed was that they were unable to counter the huge propaganda campaign that the elites and media lobbied against them.

Somehow, the Seattle General Strike remained completely peaceful, and in doing so provided a model for later mobilizations. It was much harder to crack down on strikers or claim the need for a violent military or police infiltration, which is how most labor protests and organizing were defeated.

"Nothing moved but the tide," remembered a striker years later.
Nothing moved but the tide. In one sense, the strike was massively successful. Most big strikes in the past usually quickly devolved into violence, often brought on by police/state powers provoking strikers into riots to end the strike.

An unarmed force of labor's "War Veteran Guards"patrolled the streets, urging calm, urging strikers to stay at home. On the second day, the Mayor threatened to declare martial law and two battalions of US Army troops took up position in the city, but the unions ignored the threat and calm prevailed.

Eight blocks away from City Hall sat the four-story Labor Temple, headquarters for the Central Labor Council and 60,000 union members hummed with activity. Many members were “2 card” members. They were members of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the Word) or affectionately known as “Wobblies”

Most of the remaining work force stayed home as stores closed and streetcars stopped running. The city was stunned and quiet. While the mayor and business leaders huddled at City Hall, panicking about what was to come.

Wish he had said AOC, but it’s a start 😏
