This is a graphic I found and photocopied in 2000 at Arizona State University's MASSIVE archive of old socialist and anarchist materials (dating back to the late 1800s, up through 1940 or so). I spent about $60 photocopying pages from the enormous treasuries of old Wobbly, anarchist, and other periodicals. Some of it is just amazing stuff.
The image is here. I think it's beautiful: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v16/wolfbrigade/organize100.jpg
I think folks will get a kick out of this 1930s IWW cartoon, from the One Big Union Monthly Magazine made during the Great Depression. Note how in this cartoon the "anarchist" is caricatured not as a bomb-toting, trenchcoat-wearing, shady dude, but rather as a Romantic poet a la Percy Bysshe Shelley. The "sky pilot" is old Wob slang for preachers, from Joe Hill's "You'll Get Pie in the Sky When You Die," of course.
I got tons more where this came from, baby! And a lot of it I have never seen on the web anywhere, even at iww.org's archives.
