I know there are many remarkable branches out there so I can't speak for fellow workers elsewhere, but from where I am, the Industrial Workers of the World - yes, the "anarchist" IWW itself - has largely replicated the old trade union cultures of toxic masculinity, transphobia, and also Covid denialism. Please, comrades in the labour movement, don't ever let your guard down, because if we are not steadfast in our opposition to bigotry, if we are not assertive and even aggressive in our defence of the disadvantaged and marginalised, and if we are not resistant to reductive class politics, trust me: this shit seeps in and creeps in everywhere, including the last places you'd expect. #IWW #union #TradeUnion #intersectional #AntiFascist #anarchism
