SYNDICALISM arose in France as a revolt against political Socialism, and in order to understand it we must trace in brief outline the positions attained by Socialist parties in the various countries.

This role was adopted without hesitation by the leadership of the anarcho-syndicalist CGT as soon as France entered the war.

Such independence did not, as was the case with 'non-political' unionism in many countries, imply a rejection of political objectives. Rather, revolutionary syndicalism implied a confidence in the insurrectionary potential of direct industrial action, a hostility to statist conceptions of socialism, and a suspicion that the stratagems and compromises of politicians would betray the revolutionary elan of militant trade unionists."

Santillan believes that I confuse syndicalism with the labour movement, while the fact is that I have always opposed syndicalism and have been a warm supporter of the labour movement. All that can be expected of it is that the reforms it fights for and achieves are of a kind and obtained in such a way that they serve revolutionary education and propaganda and leave the way open for the making of ever greater demands. http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/inter/malatesta_synd.html   (3219 words)      Mises, Human Action, Part 6, Chapter XXXIII: Library of Economics and Liberty But it is a purely political issue and may be disregarded in a catallactic analysis.

There have been Marxist syndicalists too (such as Daniel DeLeon and Bill Haywood in America and James Connelly in Ireland) as well as revolutionary syndicalists who considered revolutionary unionism as a theory in itself.

Under syndicalism, the incomes of workers doing similar work would vary greatly, depending largely on the wide variation in both the efficiency and the capital invested in the unit by which they were employed. It supposes the elimination of entrepreneurs and the expropriation of investments so that all "unearned income," i.e., interest and profits, would be equally divided among the workers of each economic unit. http://www.mises.org/easier/S.asp   (2946 words)      Syndicalism Industrial Unionism, on the contrary, being the product of American highly developed capitalism, lays main stress upon the STRUCTURE of the economic organization; the FUNCTION of the same—the overthrow of the Political State and the seizing of the reins of government as the Socialist or Industrial State—flowing, as a matter of course, from its structure. The point can be best understood by turning the telescope upon two typical representatives of the two seemingly opposed currents of the Movement in France—Guesde, the Anti-Syndicalist, and Lagardelle, or Herve, Pro-Syndicalists. If these facts were kept in mind, then, on the one hand, the non-French Europeans, who denounce “Syndicalism“ sweepingly, would curb their pens, and, on the other hand, the American would-be imitators of “Syndicalism“ would realize that they but play the role of monkeys at the North Pole, or Polar bears under the tropics. http://www.marxists.org/archive/deleon/works/1909/3.htm   (962 words)      Anarchosyndicalism by Rudolf Rocker - Chapter 1 Anarchism is a definite intellectual current in the life of our times, whose adherents advocate the abolition of economic monopolies and of all political and social coercive institutions within society.
