Are there any timelines or media relating to a merger of the Farmer-Labor Movement / Silverites / Populists and the industrial Labor Union movement in the late 19th or early 20th century?
Any board members with a good knowledge of those topics, or of anarcho-syndicalism?
I'm inspired by this flag from the AH Media board for the seed of a potential timeline with a merger between Farmer-Labor and Eugen V. Debs' American Railworkers Union, with probably the Populist Party and general Bimetallist/Silverite movement joining with the coalition (I'm not sure if Bryan's anti-evolutionary fundamentalists would get along with the inner-city Social Gospel preachers, in practice, though) and probably the AFL against?
Hmm...that doesn't sound quite right. I don't think you could have a successful worker revolution in the US by ignoring the growing mainstream industrial union movement and concentrating on the socialist movements.
Yeah, the actual Farmer-Labor organization and the ARU seem insignificant compared to, say, the Populist Party and the AFL joining forces...
Really, if one could prevent the Populist/Agrarian/Bimetallist/Silverite/FL movement from being so diffuse and the Unions from fracturing, that would be a prerequisite for a worker revolution in the US stemming from the 1890's (perhaps occurring during a General Strike analogue during an alt-Great-War?)
Anyways, this is the flag:
