Industrialisti was a Finnish-language newspaper published from Duluth, Minnesota, United States.
They were now divided between a 'political' wing who wanted to focus on electoral struggles (through the Socialist Party of America) and those who favoured direct action.
The split culminated at the annual conference of the socialist Työmies Publishing Company in the summer of 1914.
At the conference, a heterogeneous coalition of political radicals and pro-direct action/pro-IWW unionists broke away and set up the publishing company behind Sosialisti.
For example, the first issue of the refounded Industrialisti in March 1917 carried a strong anti-war message.
