One more aside for Neil,

If unions were integrated into capitalism during the 30s, who fought
against that tide? 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.
