#and let's face it the IWW has an absolutely tiny presence in the uk and this kind of is something you need numbers for

[wild-at-mind]

I still think about the time one of the next city over's anarchist collective who I met at a bi and pansexual meet tried to discourage me from joining my workplace's union because the big unions were too corporate and I should join the IWW. Yes the big unions are companies and therefore corporate but since the idea of joining a union is to protect your rights and your colleagues' rights, the idea of joining a union not connected to my workplace on pure principle seems a fruitless idea.

#i did look into the IWW of course! Back then i thought all anarchists were really legit so i respected her point of view #now i respect anarchists points of view still but it's not something i follow myself and i can't see that changing #and i dislike the idea that joining a corporate union is somehow impure #participating in society yadda yadda we all have to be in touch with the corporate world in order to live and survive #and let's face it the IWW has an absolutely tiny presence in the uk and this kind of is something you need numbers for #at the time of me looking into it they also had a facebook page but it was just memes #i am a despiser of meme leftism and this was close to the time of the election in late 2019 in which i had to hide SO many people on fb #memes are fucking garbage leftism and the IWW should not have a page like this if it is legit!! #they made it look like a joke
