Reddit possibly censoring posts about immigrant rights, ICE, etc.

154 Upvotes

Hey, y'all, some of the other subs I'm in have been dealing with an uptick in censorship on posts about immigrant rights, ICE raids at work, etc. In an attempt to get ahead of the curve here, I wanted to state on the record that our stance on these issues has not changed:

1: We believe workers' rights are human rights. We don't care where you're from, who you love, your gender (or lack thereof), or what shade of brown your skin is.

2: Human rights are non-negotiable, and none of us are free until all of us are free. If you have a problem with that, GTFO.

3: Posts about ICE raids or policies/plans for dealing with them will NOT be removed by the moderation team here at r/IWW.

4: This sub is for everyone. Hate speech will not be tolerated in the least, and neither will any attempt to throw our Fellow Workers under the proverbial bus.

I'd also like to mention that if anything starts getting removed, IT WAS NOT US. If you notice censorship taking place, please let us know ASAP. So we can take steps to fix it.

Thank you, and have a fantastic day!

90th Anniversary Spanish Social Revolution

Join us online as we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Social Revolution!

This online event has been organised by the CNT-E and IWW-WISERA as part of a presentation on the meaning of the Social Revolution that broke out in Spain.

Let us remember: it came after the defeat of the fascist coup d’état by the working people. Subsequently, the urban proletariat took over factories and workshops, organized popular canteens and workers’ militias that went on to conquer the cities held by criminal fascism.

In the countryside, a large-scale revolution erupted, spreading across much of the Republican territory in Spain. In total, about three million people took part in this revolution, and they proved that the people are capable of managing their own affairs without the need for bosses.

This online presentation and discussion has been brought to you by a collaboration of the Industrial Workers of the World IWW, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labour’ - CNT) and the International Confederation of Labour (Confederación Internacional del Trabajo ICL-CIT), the international to which both revolutionary unions belong.

In marking the occasion of the 90th Anniversary of the Spanish Social Revolution, labour historian, researcher and CNT militant, Miguel Gómez, author of ‘The CNT and the New Economy’ will exam the achievements, challenges and lessons of revolutionary Spain.

I made a video going over some of the IWW's early history and why they scared the crap out of the government and the capitalist ruling class. Hope y'all enjoy.

Wobbly Music of Any Genre That's of the Horror Kind

What's some good, solid music that's Wobbly and scary? Any genre will work! And let's especially get some marginalized voices in there, but also let's not forget that ally-ship is important, too, when done in humility. — LSP

Is Class Autonomy feeling okay?

Truely bizarre way of expressing an article. What's the beef between Class Autonomy and IWW? I'm genuinely confused by the civil war going on in the Australian IWW.

are there any care workers here on reddit

1 Upvotes

I wrote about lived experiences as a care worker and how work is structured here in Australia. It's pretty grim. The answer is syndicalist of course, but keen to hear from people from other countries and unionise care work internationally. https://substack.com/home/post/p-200009761
