Today in Southern labor history, the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia was fully underway. Beginning with company towns, grueling working conditions, corporate guns-for-hire, and assassinations, mine workers stood together and said enough was enough. Here is part one of how one of the biggest uprisings in labor history came to be.

This week in 1933, a bunch of fascists got their asses kicked in England.
About 100 reactionaries led by Oswald Mosley - the head of the British Union of Fascists - tried to hold a rally in Stockton.
Instead, about 2,000 antifascists showed up and smashed them. #workingclasshistory #laborhistory #antifa #antifascist #lefttok #fyp
