The IWW, which had tens of thousands of members until the Taft-Hartley act of 1952. The Communists of various hues, all led by Neil's "best IWW fighters", were lining up for pork-chops handed down by FDR and the CIO. They did this so they would have political power. Again, this shows where "political" activity leads you. Again the IWW lost, but for the right reasons. The Left-Communists have never had a chance to be right or wrong in real circumstances. They never had the support and I think that it's the political aspect which imobilizes this tendancy. CA --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
