          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.

            Yeah it feels like it relies too heavily on the college crowd. IWW should be one of the first places you go when you're pissed at your boss at work for fucking you over by scheduling you to clopen 3 days a week and still keeping you at 30 hours and took off your pandemic hero pay. Too many IWW chapters don't seem to do much of anything.

          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.
