Why would Emmanuel expect to find Wobblies in the war?

[Jackpine Radical]

The IWW has been antiwar for generations.

1. What about Spanish Civil war?

IWW sent volunteers to assist the anarcho-syndicalists with the new rising tide of fascism what I understand.


The Lincoln Brigades
The Lincolns came from all walks of life, all regions of the country, and included seamen, students, the unemployed, miners, fur workers, lumberjacks, teachers, salesmen, athletes, dancers, and artists. They established the first racially integrated military unit in U.S. history and were the first to be led by a black commander. At least 60 percent were members of the Young Communist League or CP. "Wobblies" (members of the Industrial Workers of the World or "IWW"), socialists, and the unaffiliated also joined. The Socialists formed their own Debs Column for Spain, but open recruitment brought on government suppression.


Edit: I just woke up, please disregard, this is not related to subject -whoops.

3. You're right about the Wobblies & Franco.

As I say, though, it's been generations.

2. Who is Emmanuel and what did he say about Wobblies?

Rahm Emmanuel? Emmanuel Cleaver?

A little help here, we are not all watching CCN or whatever.

The thread was a bit of under-appreciated humor on my part.
