The IWW and Propaganda
• The International Workers of the World were one of the few decidedly anti-war groups in America at the time.
• They viewed the war as a capitalist’s war. Workers should unite against the world’s capitalists, rather than acting as pawns for those capitalists.
• Their propaganda tried to persuade Americans to not participate in the war.
