Thanks for this post.

Could you tell me : although the strikers in 1919 
in the English speaking world ( apologies to French 
Canadians and Gaelic speaking Irish ) supported
the Bolshevik revolution, and were accused by the
capitalists of  being Bolsheviks, the people on the left
who were actually the centre of the militant opposition
to the old right wingers in the union movement, in  Britain,
Ireland, and the US at least, were in fact syndicalists.

Is this also true of Canada ? Was the Winnipeg strike 
led by the IWW ?

Thanks,
Adam.

( English speaking world ? Ex British Empire part
of the world ? That part of the world in which the ruling
classes speak English ? ( no - this includes India, for 
example ) Anglo - Saxon world ( this  is probably the
least accurate ) . . . Britain and the dominions !? . . . 
those parts of the British Empire and ex British Empire
where most of the present day inhabitants have white
skins ? . . . the last, unfortunately, is probably
the most accurate )
