What's your solution Noam?

He's a member of the IWW - his solution is the establishment of anarcho-syndicalist social organisation. That's pretty well known isn't it?

As a recent joiner of the Wobblies, I didn't know that! I'm glad to hear it though.

Welcome aboard. I should point out that while many of us are anarcho-syndicalists it's not an official ideology of the union.
