Pyramid of Capitalist System in the context of Class politics

In political science, the term class struggle, class conflict, or class war refers to the economic antagonism and political tension that exist among social classes because of clashing interests, competition for limited resources, and inequalities of power in the socioeconomic hierarchy. In its simplest manifestation, class struggle refers to the conflict between classes within class systems .

In the writings of several leftist, socialist, and communist theorists, notably those of Karl Marx, class struggle is a core tenet and a practical means for effecting radical sociopolitical transformations for the majority working class. It is also a central concept within conflict theories of sociology and political philosophy.

Pyramid of Capitalist System in the context of Industrial Worker

The Industrial Worker, "the voice of revolutionary industrial unionism", is the magazine of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, a.k.a., "Wobblies"). It is now released quarterly. The publication was printed and edited by union labor, and frequently distributed at radical bookstores, demonstrations, strikes, and labor rallies. It covers industrial conditions, strikes, workplace organizing experiences, and features on labor history. It used to be released as a newspaper.

The newspaper was first printed in journal format in Joliet, Illinois, in January 1906, incorporating The Voice of Labor (the newspaper from the former American Labor Union which had joined the IWW), and International Metal Worker. It was edited by A. S. Edwards, and early contributors included Eugene V. Debs, Jack London, Daniel DeLeon, Bill Haywood, and James H. Walsh. It also included poetry by Covington Hall. When the group led by ousted President Charles O. Sherman retained physical control over the paper, after the union's 1906 convention, and continued publication under that name for a few months (before giving up the ghost), the IWW then issued the Industrial Union Bulletin for several years. A.S. Edwards was elected editor of the Bulletin in 1906.
