SolidaritySuch is our lot in this life
Oppressed under economic strife
Liberty remains just a sweet dream
In the minds of those who must toil and clean
Does it really have to be this way?
Are we condemned to sell ourselves for pay?
Revolution is an answer that totally rejects
Institutions that privilege projects
Take heart fellow workers we shall rise
You only have to Organise

The last helicopter pilot of Saigon The last helicopter pilot of Saigon
Is wondering if he were wrong
To sign up and obey
The orders of LBJ
Now he’s surrounded by Vietcong

The Ballad of Big BillBorn in 1869 was one William Haywood
By helping workers anyway he could
He determined to spend his life
Not on friends, sport or Wife
By lending us his calloused hand
He vowed we’d build a promised land.

Now William was no College Professor
Nor a staunch Moral Confessor.
He grew up big and strong
And rejected the beard long.
In fact Most working folk
On account of him being solid as an Oak
Dubbed our Will “Big Bill”

Big Bill began his rise to fame
Helping a Silver mine stake its claim.
Whilst picking at rock he listened to Ed Boyce
Ed’s speech would give Workers cause to rejoice.
Big Bill with the Western Federatio

Lend a Hand?All are welcome in our industrial band
From coast to coast and in every land
We organise and fight
For every workers right
Fellow workers won’t you lend a hand?

Industrial DemocracyThe IWW is for Industrial Democracy
Not your usual Trade Union Hypocrisy
Not for us the fancy boardroom
Nor fancy titles that buy workers gloom
So join us and end the workers misery

Union BossYou’ve heard of the corrupt Union boss
Look for one in the IWW and you’ll be at a loss
From the Grand Rapids to the River Nile
The Wobblies are all about the Rank and file
On the issue of officers we couldn’t give a toss

Here we see a giant pair of floating scissors, the symbolism should be obvious. The reason I took this shot however is the Labour party branch banner in the bottom left. The man on the banner (You may have to enlarge) is Robert Tressell author of one of my favourite works The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

Okay, I'm confused. If you're all anarchists, which means you're against government, why are you against government cuts? As an anarchist, wouldn't you want the government to be cut?

~Skargill Oct 26, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

What on earth are you talking about? Anarchists aren't even in this photo, I see an National Union of Teachers float and a local Labour party branch banner, and some Coalition of Resistance placards. I think you commented on the wrong photo.

~BlameThe1st Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Sorry. Just carried on from the other picture.

~Skargill Oct 26, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Actually I think I see the problem here, ignore what I said above. This wasn't an Anarchist march it was a Trade Union led march. Anarchist groups attended it as they oppose governments and in particular governments that enact policies exclusively for the wealthy and privileged, like the current ConDem coalition. As a percentage Anarchists make up a small minority of people on these sorts of things.

They mainly use them as an excuse to network and handout their leaflets.
