Over the course of January 2nd, 3rd & 4th in 1905, this manifesto was written establishing the basis for what would formally become in June the Industrial Workers of the World.

As it is, at the time of recording, the 4th of January 2021, Seb decided to upload a reading of that manifesto to commemorate the 116th anniversary of its publication.

"Revolutions do not start with rifles; start first and get your rifles after. Our curse is our belief in our weakness. We are not weak, we are strong. Make up your mind to strike before your opportunity goes."

James Connolly
