The Idea

What Anarcho-Syndicalist actually means.

Anarcho-Syndicalism promotes worker self-management through unions, replacing the state and capitalism with decentralized worker-run federations.

Rudolf Rocker was a leading figure in Anarcho-Syndicalism, advocating for labor unions as the basis of a free society. He rejected centralized revolutions in favor of direct worker control and self-governance through industrial unions.
