The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.

Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the "Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste" as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

    Could I get Hexbear mod/admin weigh in on the correct behavior when federated posts like https://hexbear.net/post/697637 hit my feed, from a user whose bio is "Anarchists are the real enemies of Marxism"? Should I block and move on? Should I report? They're abiding by their communities rules, we're on friendly terms with lemmygrad, but, like, this is on my hot page on Hexbear and would violate hexbearian rules.

    Also WolfWolf I appreciate you.

      Like, reports are gonna go to y'all and the lemmygrad memes mods and the lemmygrad admins, and I vibe with those folks and communities even if they don't vibe with me, so I'd rather not get banned from there for anarchism posting in response. What do?
