'' The Masses '' continued to serve as an example for radicals long after it was suppressed . " The only magazine I know which bears a certain resemblance to ( Dwight Macdonald 's magazine ) '' Politics '' and fulfilled a similar function thirty years earlier , " Hannah Arendt claimed in 1968 , was " the old '' Masses '' ( 1911-1917 ) . " The magazine reported on most of the major labor struggles of its day : from the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek strike of 1912 in West Virginia to the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913 and the Ludlow massacre in Colorado . It strongly sympathized with Big Bill Haywood and his IWW , the political campaigns of Eugene V. Debs , and a variety of other socialist and anarchist figures . '' The Masses '' also indignantly followed the aftermath of the Los Angeles Times bombing
