Industrial Workers Of The World Tank Tops
Description: "We know he won't join the union, but how about you? Join the I.W.W" This design comes from an IWW stickerette from 1923. The ugly ape-looking creature that we know won't join the IWW is a scab, and that character is used to represent scabs in many IWW posters and agitators from that era. I have redrawn, recolored, refinished, and digitized this art in order to preserve this important piece of labor history. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: "While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -Eugene V. Debs (Cofounder of IWW union, or Industrial Workers of the World) -----(I make a couple bucks when these sell, and that money, at least, is going to [somewhere I haven't figured out yet]. It'll be an organization that is reputable and known. I'll edit this when I can think straight and figure out where it goes.)
Description: This design comes from a cartoon by the Industrial Workers of The World (IWW) in 1920, which depicts a spider labeled "Wall St." atop a web labeled "capitalism" spun across all of society, including the press, law, education, banks, mines, factories, harbors, and train lines. I have redrawn, restored, and refinished this art in order to preserve this important piece of labor history. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: Be proud to be a "union thug". Without labor unions, there would be no weekends, minimum wage, paid vacation, 8 hour workdays, social security, pensions, child labor laws, sick leave, overtime pay, work breaks, maternity leave, and more of the labor rights people now take for granted.
Description: Industrial Workers of the World mantra: “The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.”
Description: Organized class-conscious workers are all that's needed to rid the earth of the parasitic capitalist class. This political cartoon was originally from the May 1938 edition of The One Big Union Monthly, a monthly publication by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). I have completely digitized, redrawn, and refinished this work of art, as well as rewritten the text for the sake of legibility - for the sake of preserving and archiving this important piece of labor history. The IWW still exists today, and if this political cartoon still rings true to you, even nearly a century after it's original publishing, you should consider looking up your local IWW chapter.

Description: This was originally an engraving titled "Portraits of the Haymarket Martyrs" by Walter Crane in memorial of those that fought for an eight hour work day on May 4, 1886 at Haymarket Square in Chicago. I have refinished and digitized this century-old design into modern fidelity for printing. This version is in color, but the original was just in black and white - which is also available in the store.
Description: Marx's theories about society, economics and politics—collectively understood as Marxism—hold that human societies develop through class struggle. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labour power in return for wages.[17] Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx predicted that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system: socialism. For Marx, class antagonisms under capitalism, owing in part to its instability an...
