Not a fan of the modern version, it’s way too visually busy for my tastes. Thanks for the link though, I knew it was from the greatest era of the IWW, but I didn’t think it was that old
I agree that it’s a bit much visually, I think the original format of it was a pretty big poster which makes it easier to take in, but I think the added detail is worth the slight visual clutter. It could always be more nuanced of course, but the point of an infographic is to get the basics across, not teach an entire doctrine…
The simple version may be most effective for a general audience not necessarily familiar with the concepts. The additional detail may be valuable for someone already having developed sympathies or curiosity with respect to the theme.
