It’s partly because the IWW really does not have a built out recruiting structure, and just imo is not set up to become a mass organization in its current form at all. Like the bump in membership it got has not really changed the horizons of its organizing imo.

Hey, the Cuban revolution only had like 12 guys on a rusty boat with some rifles. The IWW has hundreds of thousands of sympathizers. Especially because they provide free legal aid to workers.

I am far too much of an annoying Marxist to dip my toes into worker run capitalism, but the flavour text is either by extremely well researched libs or some actual comrades are writing that shit. the things it talks about, and the prose of the more revolutionary focuses are :100-com:

Kaiserreich is directly responsible for the resurgence of “syndicalism” as well as unironic Kaiser apologia. I think Hoi4’s political system has made an entire generation of gamers dumber.

I blame it for giving :funny-clown-hammer: a meme ideology to brand himself in.

I think kaiser apologia already existed but it popularized it again.

Oh no the poor Kaiser, faced with the crippling punishment of being forced to live in a different mansion for the rest of his life, the world is so cruel 😭

I was interested in syndicalism when I first played the game. At the time I liked socialism but thought Stalin was evil, exploring an ideology similar to communism but without all the red scare baggage was helpful for me
