You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Worker Student Alliance''' (WSA) in the [[United States]] was the section of [[Students for a Democratic Society (1960 organization)|Students for a Democratic Society]] led by the [[Progressive Labor Party (United States)|Progressive Labor Party]]. The WSA argued that the best way to build a movement in the [[working class]], like SDS wanted, was for students to become involved in workers' struggles both on and off the campuses. In practice, that usually meant students enrolled in school would get jobs as cafeteria hands and other [[manual labour|manual labor]] jobs at those schools.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Isaac |first=Larry |last2=McDonald |first2=Steve |last3=Lukasik |first3=Greg |date=2006 |title=Takin’ It from the Streets: How the Sixties Mass Movement Revitalized Unionization |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/502692 |journal=American Journal of Sociology |volume=112 |issue=1 |pages=54 |doi=10.1086/502692 |issn=0002-9602))</ref>

==Organizational history==

The WSA explicitly rejected the rest of the [[New Left]]'s insistence that it would be various combinations of 'progressive' [[nationalism]] and popular rebellion that would jump-start the revolution; rather, the WSA said the catalyst would be organized workers in various [[Industry (economics)|industries]] and the [[service sector]], and that students could best help spread and deepen workers' [[class consciousness]] by really being among the workers themselves, rather than just using their class designation in [[rhetoric]] to appear more [[Marxist]].

The WSA faction took about 900 of the approximately 1400 representatives in the split at the 1969 [[Students for a Democratic Society (1960 organization)|SDS]] convention in Chicago. The other 500, who had been the [[Revolutionary Youth Movement]], left to form [[new communist movement|a myriad of other groups]]. SDS chapters around the country then split along these same lines, or disbanded entirely.

Both the RYM and the WSA kept the SDS name, but the [[Weather Underground Organization|Weatherman organization]] continued to hold the SDS National Office and all the SDS membership lists; thus it was able to assume effective "command" of the name and public face of SDS despite its inferior size. Nearly immediately post-conference, Weatherman led their "Days of Rage" Chicago riots of 1969 and other sporadic acts of violence — all under the SDS name — until 1970, when [[Mark Rudd]] and a few other Weathermen decided to close the SDS National Office and drop the SDS name. PL, however, continued to keep its SDS for several more years. Since all active SDS chapters after 1970 were SDS-WSA, the "WSA" initials were dropped.

In 1974 PL's SDS voted to dissolve itself and join the [[International Committee Against Racism|Committee Against Racism]] which PL had helped to form at a conference at [[New York University]] in November 1973. The CAR eventually expanded to several other countries and added "International" to its name to become InCAR, but InCAR was in many respects another "mass organization" led and directed by the PLP, with separate publications and staff, but always with a goal of winning InCAR members to support PLP. By 1996, this strategy was too much to maintain, and PLP elected to pursue pure and open communist activity again, using only its own party as an organizational structure.
