   @ned @Aslanmane Communism is also antithetical to the working class. I can't see what @charliebrownau@poa.st has posted as their instance is blocked from libranet.de for "not my department" which seems to be what our admin lists for facism.

   As my union stated in convention resolution

   Whereas: there has been considerable confusion as to the I.W.W. and the Communists, causing some people to believe that we are Communists, and

   Whereas: the purposes of the I.W.W. and the Communists are unalterably opposed since the I.W.W. aims at the extension of Industrial Democracy while the Communists aim at the establishing of a party dictatorship over the working class, and

   Whereas: the Communists represent the interests, not of labor but of the totalitarian regime in Russia [and elsewhere], and

   Whereas: for these reasons the Communists have been trying for 25 years to liquidate the I.W.W.,

   Therefore be it resolved:

   First, that we look upon the Communist Party and its fledglings as a major menace to the working class, and
   Second, that the interests of world peace can best be served by labor movements that clearly represent the interests of Labor and not the interests of any political state, and
   Third, that we consider that the foolishness of the Communists can best be exposed by assuring them complete civil liberties and,
   Fourth, that our publicity dealing with Communists follow this resolution and confine itself to factual information exposing their folly and harmfulness to labor.
