Swans Commentary: Wobblies! A Graphic History of the IWW, by Louis Proyect - lproy24 4

- For example, despite all the great publicity that attended the Paterson silk workers' strike of 1913 (including a theatrical production based on the strike mounted by journalist John Reed), the strike did not achieve a victory. As artist and writer Ryan Inzana relates in "To Live and Die in Paterson," unity broke down under pressure from the bosses. The IWW was spurned by the workers and after six months on strike, there was no improvement in pay or working conditions.
- Essentially, movements grow through victory, not defeat. Towards the end of its life, the IWW was experiencing fewer and fewer victories.
- But the more important factor undoubtedly is the triumph of the Russian Revolution, which convinced working class radicals that socialist parties based on Marxism were the way to victory. Although the IWW's anarcho-syndicalism was not specifically opposed to Marxist principles, it tended to shun the political arena and leave questions of conquering state power somewhat abstract. In contrast, the seizure of power in October 1917 was a specific model seemingly adaptable to all countries under all conditions.
- With the end of Moscow-based Communism 15 years ago and the implosion of smaller, more radical "Marxist-Leninist" parties, one might wonder if Big Bill Haywood -- and the broader movement -- was a bit premature. Instead of dumping native-born political traditions like the IWW or Debs's Socialist Party, it might have made more sense to absorb them. Indeed, before the imposition of a strict hierarchical model from Moscow, many pioneers of American Communism believed that they were simply evolving out of the earlier movement rather than transplanting something born in Russia.
