Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I definitely would NOT have been IWW! They were, and remain, committed Marxist revolutionaries!.

From their official website:

"!.!.!.!.historians and reporters often associate the IWW with Communism, even though the IWW is not a Communist organization!. The IWW is a revolutionary industrial unionist organization, and its membership includes radicals of every stripe, including anarchist, communist, socialist, syndicalist, etc!. "Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Knights of Labor were almost gone by 1900!.

The Industrial Workers of the World formed in 1905!.

I would almost certainly have joined the IWW!. I agree with Wobbly principles, and with lower dues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
