'''Anarcho-syndicalism''' is a [[political philosophy]] and [[anarchist school of thought]] that views [[revolutionary industrial unionism]] or [[syndicalism]] as a method for workers in [[capitalist society]] to gain control of an economy and thus control influence in broader society. The goal of syndicalism is to abolish the [[wage system]], regarding it as [[wage slavery]]. Anarcho-syndicalist theory generally focuses on the [[labour movement]].<ref>Jeremy Jennings, ''Syndicalism in France'' (St Martin's Press, 1990) {{ISBN|031204027X}}</ref> Reflecting the anarchist philosophy from which it draws its primary inspiration, anarcho-syndicalism is centred on the idea that [[Power (philosophy)|power]] corrupts and that any [[hierarchy]] that cannot be ethically justified must be dismantled.<ref name="anarcho-syndicalism101"/>

The basic principles of anarcho-syndicalism are [[solidarity]], [[direct action]] (action undertaken without the intervention of third parties such as politicians, bureaucrats and arbitrators), and [[workers' self-management]]. Anarcho-syndicalists believe their economic theories constitute a strategy for facilitating [[proletarian]] self-activity and creating an alternative [[Co-operative economics|cooperative]] economic system with democratic values and production centred on meeting human needs. Anarcho-syndicalists perceive the primary purpose of the state as the defence of [[private property]] in the forms of [[capital goods]] and thereby of economic, social and political privilege. In maintaining this ''[[status quo]]'', the state denies most of its citizens the ability to enjoy material independence and the social autonomy that springs from it.<ref name="anarcho-syndicalism101">{{cite web|title=1c.

== History ==
=== Origins ===
The roots of anarcho-syndicalism lie in the [[Anarchist St. Imier International|anarchist faction]] of the [[International Workingmen's Association]] (IWA), which upheld the central role of [[trade union]]s in the [[class conflict|class struggle]] and called for a [[general strike]] to replace the [[State (polity)|state]] with a [[free association of producers]]. This was in opposition to the [[Marxism|Marxist faction]], which proposed the seizure of state power by a [[political party]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Damier|1y=2009|1p=5|2a1=Hirsch|2a2=van der Walt|2y=2010a|2pp=xxxvi-xxxvii|3a1=Thorpe|3y=1989|3pp=2-14|4a1=van der Walt|4a2=Schmidt|4y=2009|4pp=153-155}} 

The IWA's largest section was the [[Spanish Regional Federation of the IWA|Spanish Regional Federation]] (FRE), which adopted the anarchist platform of [[Syndicalism|revolutionary trade unionism]] and organised itself according to a structure that anticipated syndicalism.{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|p=155}} The FRE was driven underground following the suppression of the FRE-led [[Petroleum Revolution]] in 1873, after which they were succeeded by a series of syndicalist unions such as the [[Federation of Workers of the Spanish Region]] (FTRE) and the [[Union and Solidarity Pact]] (PUS). The FRE's syndicalist model was also taken up by [[Anarchism in Cuba|Cuban anarchists]], who established their own union federations to organise Cuban workers and recently-emancipated slaves.{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|pp=155-156}} In the [[United States]], the anarchists of the [[International Working People's Association]] (IWPA) also adopted the syndicalist platform of [[Albert Parsons]] and established a large trade union federation in [[Chicago]].{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|p=156}} Despite its suppression after the [[Haymarket affair]], the IWPA was strongly influential on the development of syndicalism (described as "anarchism made practical") and left behind a legacy commemorated in [[International Workers' Day]].{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|pp=156-157}} Anarchists also participated in the trade union movement in [[Porfiriato|Mexico]], where they established the Mexican Workers' General Congress (CGOM) and dedicated it towards using unions as their vehicle for social revolution.{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|p=157}}

While the influence of the anarchists was strong in the [[Restoration (Spain)|Spanish]] and [[Americas|American]] labour movements, most of Europe's trade unions fell under the control of social-democratic political parties.{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=6-7}} During the 1880s, a period of [[economic growth]] had encouraged the development of [[reformism|reformist tendencies]] such as [[social democracy]], resulting in the sidelining of the anarchists, who had largely neglected labour organisation in favour of individual acts of "[[propaganda of the deed]]".{{Sfnm|1a1=Damier|1y=2009|1pp=5-6|2a1=van der Walt|2a2=Schmidt|2y=2009|2pp=157-158}} 

But the technological innovations achieved during the [[Second Industrial Revolution]] also preceded a simultaneous rise in [[Profit (economics)|profits]] and decline of [[wage]]s, while new [[management]] strategies resulted in the increase of both [[workload]] and [[working time]].{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=8-9}} Increasing levels of the [[division of labour]] brought with it a rise in [[Marx's theory of alienation|alienation]] among workers, which led to the development of calls for [[workers' self-management]] and [[workers' control]] over the [[means of production]].{{Sfn|Damier|2009|p=8}} Even as [[strike action]]s became more common around the world, social-democratic union leaders remained largely reluctant to engage in strikes and limited the decision-making power of individual members through internal [[bureaucracy]].{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=10-11}} Despite protests by the membership, these centralised trade unions often preferred to form compromised "wage agreements" with their employers rather than risk opening their accumulated [[Strike pay|strike fund]].{{Sfn|Damier|2009|p=11}} The [[moderate]] tendencies of the union leadership eventually provoked widespread dissillusionment among the rank-and-file union members, with some such as [[Karl Roche]] coming to characterise paid union officials as a new [[upper class]].{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=11-12}}

Increasing tensions between the union leadership and membership led to the development of a current that had by now become known as [[syndicalism]], which called for workers themselves to take [[direct action]] in order to improve their own material conditions.{{Sfn|Damier|2009|p=7}} Anarchists also began to move away from [[insurrectionary anarchism|insurrectionism]] and back towards the labour movement, increasingly promoting syndicalism as a "practical form of organisation for the realisation of [[anarcho-communism|anarchist-communism]]" and even beginning to capture some unions from the social-democrats.{{Sfn|van der Walt|Schmidt|2009|pp=157-158}}

[[File:Cnt_1910.jpg|thumb|right|Founding congress of the [[Confederación Nacional del Trabajo]] (CNT)]]
In 1910, the {{lang|es-ES|[[Confederación Nacional del Trabajo]]}} (CNT) was founded in the middle of the restoration in Barcelona in a congress of the [[Catalonia|Catalan]] trade union {{lang|es-ES|[[Solidaridad Obrera (historical union)|Solidaridad Obrera]]}} (Workers' Solidarity) to constitute an opposing force to the then-majority trade union, the socialist {{lang|es-ES|[[Unión General de Trabajadores]]}} (UGT) and "to speed up the economic emancipation of the working class through the revolutionary [[Confiscation|expropriation]] of the bourgeoisie". The CNT started small, counting 26,571 members represented through several trade unions and other confederations.{{Sfn|Heywood|1989|p=261}} In 1911, coinciding with its first congress, the CNT initiated a general strike that provoked a Barcelona judge to declare the union illegal until 1914. Also, in 1911, the trade union adopted its name formally.{{Sfn|Heywood|1989|p=261}} From 1918 on, the CNT grew more substantial and had an outstanding role in the events of the [[La Canadenca strike|''La Canadiense'' general strike]], which paralyzed 70% of the industry in Catalonia in 1919, that year the CNT reached a membership of 700,000.<ref>{{Harvnb|Beevor|2006|p=13}}</ref> Around that time, panic spread among employers, giving rise to the practice of {{lang|es-ES|[[pistolerismo]]}} (employing thugs to intimidate active unionists), causing a spiral of violence that significantly affected the trade union. These {{lang|es-ES|pistoleros}} are credited with killing 21 union leaders in 48 hours.<ref>{{Harvnb|Beevor|2006|p=15}}</ref>

In 1922, the [[IWA–AIT|International Workers' Association]] (IWA) was founded in Berlin, and the CNT joined immediately, but with the rise of [[Miguel Primo de Rivera]]'s dictatorship, the labour union was outlawed again the following year.<ref>{{Harvnb|Beevor|2006|p=17}}</ref> However, with the workers' movement resurgent following the [[Russian Revolution (1917)|Russian Revolution]], what was to become the modern IWA was formed, billing itself as the "true heir" of the [[First International|original International]].{{Sfn|Thorpe|1989}}{{Page needed|date=January 2023}} The successful [[Bolshevik]]-led revolution of 1917 in Russia was mirrored by a wave of syndicalist successes worldwide, including the struggle of the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] (IWW) in the United States alongside the creation of mass anarchist unions across Latin America and massive syndicalist-led strikes in Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy and France, where it was noted that "neutral (economic, but not political) syndicalism had been swept away".{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=42-47}} The final formation of this new international, then known as the International Workingmen's Association, took place at an illegal conference in Berlin in December 1922, marking an irrevocable break between the international syndicalist movement and the Bolsheviks.{{Sfn|Damier|2009|pp=82-84}} The IWA included the [[Unione Sindacale Italiana|Italian Syndicalist Union]] (500,000 members), the [[Federación Obrera Regional Argentina|Argentine Workers Regional Organisation]] (200,000 members), the General Confederation of Workers in Portugal (150,000 members), the [[Free Workers' Union of Germany]] (120,000 members), the Committee for the Defense of Revolutionary Syndicalism in France (100,000 members), the {{lang|fr-FR|Federation du Combattant}} from Paris (32,000 members), the [[Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden]] (32,000 members), the [[National Labor Secretariat]] of the Netherlands (22,500 members), the Industrial Workers of the World in Chile (20,000 members) and the Union for Syndicalist Propaganda in Denmark (600 members).<ref name="libcom">{{cite web|url=http://libcom.org/history/international-workers-association|title=1860-today: The International Workers Association|year=2006|publisher=Libcom.org|access-date=29 September 2009}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=Cited source is a self-published blogpost on Libcom.org that appears to have copy-pasted sections from Wikipedia|date=January 2023}}

The first secretaries of the International included the famed writer and activist [[Rudolph Rocker]], along with [[Augustin Souchy]] and [[Alexander Schapiro]]. Following the first congress, other groups from France, Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Poland, and Romania were affiliated. Later, a bloc of unions in the United States, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Costa Rica and El Salvador also shared the IWA's statutes. The IWW, biggest syndicalist union in the United States, considered joining but eventually ruled out affiliation in 1936 based on the IWA's religious and political affiliation policies.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Thompson|first1=Fred W.|last2=Murfin|first2=Patrick|year=1976|title=The I.W.W.: Its First Seventy Years, 1905-1975|url=https://archive.org/details/iwwitsfirstseven0000thom|location=[[Chicago]]|publisher=[[Industrial Workers of the World]]|isbn=0-917124-04-9|lccn=75-27589}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=January 2023}} Although [[Industrial Workers of the World philosophy and tactics#Anarcho-syndicalism|not anarcho-syndicalist]], the IWW was informed by developments in the broader revolutionary syndicalist milieu at the turn of the 20th century.

It was characterized by mass strikes, worker manifestations, and self-management experiments through land and factory occupations.<ref name="Dallacasa"/> In [[Turin]] and [[Milan]], [[workers councils|workers' councils]] were formed, and many [[factory occupations]] took place under the leadership of anarcho-syndicalists. The agitations also extended to the agricultural areas of the [[Padan plain]] and were accompanied by peasant strikes, rural unrest, and guerilla conflicts between left-wing and right-wing militias. According to [[libcom.org]], the anarcho-syndicalist trade union [[Unione Sindacale Italiana]] (USI) "grew to 800,000 members and the influence of the Italian Anarchist Union (20,000 members plus ''[[Umanita Nova]]'', its daily paper) grew accordingly&nbsp;[...] Anarchists were the first to suggest occupying workplaces".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://libcom.org/article/1918-1921-italian-factory-occupations-and-biennio-rosso|title=1918-1921: The Italian factory occupations and Biennio Rosso|website=[[Libcom.org]]|date=10 September 2006|access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=This is a blog post on Libcom.org, of which the responsible publisher doesn't even know who the author is.|date=January 2023}}

Many of the most prominent members of the IWA were broken, driven underground or wiped out in the 1920s–1930s as [[fascists]] came to power in states across Europe, and workers switched away from anarchism towards the seeming success of the Bolshevik model of socialism. In Argentina, the FORA had already begun to decline by the time it joined the IWA, having split in 1915 into pro and anti-Bolshevik factions. From 1922, the anarchist movement there lost most of its membership, exacerbated by further splits, most notably around the [[Severino Di Giovanni]] affair. It was crushed by [[José Félix Uriburu|General Uriburu's]] military coup in 1930.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://eial.tau.ac.il/index.php/eial/article/view/1126|title=The Uniqueness of Anarchism in Argentina|first=Yaacov|last=Oved|year=1997|journal=Estudios Interdisciplinarios de América Latina y el Caribe|volume=8|issue=1|publisher=[[Tel Aviv University]]|issn=0792-7061|pages=63–76}}</ref> Germany's FAUD struggled throughout the late 1920s and early 1930s as the [[Sturmabteilung|Brownshirts]] took control of the streets.

Portugal's CGT was driven underground after an unsuccessful attempt to break the newly installed dictatorship of [[Gomes da Costa]] with a general strike in 1927 that led to nearly 100 deaths. It survived underground with 15–20,000 members until January 1934, when it called a general revolutionary strike against plans to replace trade unions with fascist corporations, which failed.

=== Post–World War II era ===
[[File:Anarchist black cat.svg|thumb|The [[black cat]] of the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] is also adopted as a symbol by anarcho-syndicalists.]]

After World War II, an appeal in the ''[[Fraye Arbeter Shtime]]'', detailing the plight of [[Anarchism in Germany|German anarchists]], called for Americans to support them.<ref>{{Harvnb|Vallance|1973|pp=77–78}}</ref> By February 1946, sending aid parcels to anarchists in Germany was a large-scale operation. In 1947, [[Rudolf Rocker]] published ''Zur Betrachtung der Lage in Deutschland'' (''Regarding the Portrayal of the Situation in Germany'') about the impossibility of another anarchist movement in Germany. It became the first post-World War II anarchist writing to be distributed in Germany. Rocker thought young Germans were cynical or inclined to fascism and awaited a new generation to grow up before anarchism could bloom again in the country.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

Nevertheless, the Federation of Libertarian Socialists (FFS) was founded in 1947 by former FAUD members.

At the seventh congress in Toulouse in 1951, a much smaller IWA was relaunched without the CNT, which would not be strong enough to reclaim membership until 1958 as an exiled and underground organization. Delegates attended, though primarily representing tiny groups, from Cuba, Argentina, Spain, Sweden, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Britain, Bulgaria and Portugal. A message of support was received from Uruguay. However, the situation remained difficult for the International as it struggled to deal with the rise of state-sanctioned economic trade unionism in the West, heavy secret service intervention as [[Cold War]] anti-communism reached its height and the banning of all strikes and free trade unions in the Soviet Union bloc of countries.<ref name="libcom" />{{Better source needed|reason=Cited source is a self-published blogpost on Libcom.org that appears to have copy-pasted sections from Wikipedia|date=January 2023}} In 1956, the SAC withdrew from the IWA, following a dispute over the distribution of [[Unemployment benefits in Sweden|state unemployment benefits]], which the IWA had opposed.

After its legalization, the CNT began efforts to recover the expropriations of 1939. The basis for such recovery would be established by Law 4/1986, which required the return of the seized properties and the unions' right to use or yield the real estate. Since then, the CNT has been claiming the return of these properties from the State. In 1996, the [[Spanish Economic and Social Council|Economic and Social Council]] facilities in Madrid were squatted by 105 CNT militants.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elmundo.es/papel/hemeroteca/1996/12/07/economia/186681.html |title=Los 117 detenidos de la CNT, en libertad tras prestar declaración |date=7 December 1996 |work=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]] |language=es |access-date=14 January 2008 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2023|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> This body is in charge of the repatriation of the accumulated union wealth.

=== Green syndicalism ===
Green syndicalism is a synthesis of anarcho-syndicalism and environmentalism, arguing that protection of the environment depends on decentralization, regionalism, direct action, autonomy, pluralism and federation. It primarily draws inspiration from the [[green ban]]s in Australia, the efforts of workers at [[The Lucas Plan|Lucas Aerospace]] to convert their factories away from armaments production and [[Judi Bari|Judi Bari's]] efforts in the [[Industrial Workers of the World|IWW]] to organise timber workers and environmentalists in Northern California. Green Syndicalism has been advocated for at various times by [[Confédération nationale du travail|Confédération Nationale du Travail]], [[General Confederation of Labor (Spain)|Confederación General de Trabajadores]] and the [[Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thenewsignificance.com/2011/07/04/jeff-shantz-green-syndicalism-an-alternative-red%E2%80%93green-vision|last=Shantz|first=Jeff|title=Green Syndicalism – An Alternative Red-Green Vision|website=The New Significance|date=4 July 2011|access-date=31 January 2022|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615194156/http://www.thenewsignificance.com/2011/07/04/jeff-shantz-green-syndicalism-an-alternative-red%e2%80%93green-vision/|archive-date=15 June 2013}}</ref>{{undue inline|1=Green syndicalism?|reason=Section only cited to one source, which appears to be the essay that coined the term.

== Theory and politics ==
[[File:Syndicalism Outline.gif|thumb|Basic outline of syndicalism as an economic system]] 
Anarcho-syndicalists believe that [[direct action]] carried out by workers as opposed to indirect action, such as electing a representative to a government position, would allow workers to liberate themselves.<ref>Rudolf Rocker, ''Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice'' (AK Press, 2004), p. 73, {{ISBN|1-902593-92-8}}</ref>

Anarcho-syndicalists believe that workers' organisations that oppose the wage system will eventually form the basis of a new society and should be self-managing. They should not have bosses or "business agents"; instead, the workers alone should decide on what affects them.<ref>Rudolf Rocker, ''Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice'' (AK Press, 2004), p. 62-63, {{ISBN|1-902593-92-8}}</ref> [[Rudolf Rocker]] is one of the most influential figures in the anarcho-syndicalist movement.

[[Noam Chomsky]], influenced by Rocker, wrote the introduction to a modern edition of ''[[Anarcho-Syndicalism (book)|Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice]]''. A member of the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] (IWW), Chomsky is a self-described anarcho-syndicalist, a position that he sees as the appropriate application of [[classical liberalism|classical liberal]] political theory to contemporary industrial society:
{{quotation|Now a federated, decentralised system of free associations, incorporating economic as well as other social institutions, would be what I refer to as anarcho-syndicalism; and it seems to me that this is the appropriate form of social organisation for an advanced technological society in which human beings do not have to be forced into the position of tools, of cogs in the machine. There is no longer any social necessity for human beings to be treated as mechanical elements in the productive process; that can be overcome and we must overcome it to be a society of freedom and free association, in which the creative urge that I consider intrinsic to human nature will in fact be able to realize itself in whatever way it will.<ref>The Chomsky-Foucault Debate on Human Nature, The New Press, 2006, p.38-9</ref>}}

Anarcho-syndicalism has been criticised as anachronistic by some contemporary anarchists.<ref>Heider, Ulrike and Bode, Ulrike, ''Anarchism: Left, Right and Green'' (San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1994), p. 4. {{ISBN|0-87286-289-5}}</ref> In 1992, [[Murray Bookchin]] spoke against its reliance on an outdated view of work:
{{quotation|As "practical" and "realistic" as anarcho-syndicalism may seem, it represents in my view an archaic ideology rooted in a narrowly economistic notion of bourgeois interest, indeed of a sectorial interest as such. It relies on the persistence of social forces like the factory system and the traditional class consciousness of the industrial proletariat that are waning radically in the Euro-American world in an era of indefinable social relations and ever-broadening social concerns. Broader movements and issues are now on the horizon of modern society that, while they must necessarily involve workers, require a perspective that is larger than the factory, trade union, and a proletarian orientation.<ref name="Bookchin">Murray Bookchin, '' The Ghost of Anarcho-Syndicalism'', [http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/anarchist_archives/bookchin/ghost2.html online at Anarchy Archives] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090103015617/http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/anarchist_archives/bookchin/ghost2.html |date=3 January 2009 }}.

Bookchin said that it prioritizes the interests of the working class instead of communal freedom for society as a whole; this view ultimately prevents a true revolution. He argued that in instances like the [[Spanish Revolution of 1936]], it was despite the syndicalist-minded CNT leadership that the revolution occurred.<ref name="Bookchin"/>

Direct action, one of the main staples of anarcho-syndicalism, would extend into the political sphere, according to its supporters. To them, the labour council is the federation of all workplace branches of all industries in a geographical area "territorial basis of organisation linkage brought all the workers from one area together and fomented working-class solidarity over and before corporate solidarity".<ref>Romero Maura, "The Spanish Case", contained in [[Anarchism Today]], D. Apter and J. Joll (eds.), p. 75</ref> Rudolf Rocker argued:
{{quotation|The organisation of Anarcho-Syndicalism is based upon the principles of Federalism, on free combination from below upwards, putting the right of self-determination of every member above everything else and recognising only the organic agreement of all on the basis of like interests and common convictions.<ref>Rudolf Rocker, ''Anarcho-Syndicalism'', op. cit., p. 53</ref>}}

Anarcho-syndicalism, therefore, is not apolitical but instead sees political and economic activity as the same. Unlike the propositions of some of its critics, anarcho-syndicalism is different from reformist union activity in that it aims to obliterate capitalism as "[anarcho-syndicalism] has a double aim: with tireless persistence, it must pursue betterment of the working class's current conditions. But, without letting themselves become obsessed with this passing concern, the workers should take care to make possible and imminent the essential act of comprehensive emancipation: the expropriation of capital".<ref>Emile Pouget in ''No Gods, No Masters: An Anthology of Anarchism'', edited by Daniel Guerin (AK Press, 2005), p. 71. {{ISBN|1-904859-25-9}}</ref>

[[File:CGT demonstration.JPG|thumb|250px|[[General Confederation of Labor (Spain)|Confederacion General del Trabajo]]'s October 2005 demonstration in Barcelona]]
While collectivist and communist anarchists criticise syndicalism as having the potential to exclude the voices of citizens and consumers outside of the union, anarcho-syndicalists argue that labour councils will work outside of the workplace and within the community to encourage community and consumer participation in economic and political activity (even workers and consumers outside of the union or nation) and will work to form and maintain the institutions necessary in any society such as schools, libraries, homes and so on. Bookchin argues:
{{quotation|At the same time that syndicalism exerts this unrelenting pressure on capitalism, it tries to build the new social order within the old. The unions and the 'labour councils' are not merely means of struggle and instruments of social revolution; they are also the very structure around which to build a free society. The workers are to be educated [by their own activity within the union] in the job of destroying the old propertied order and in the task of reconstructing a stateless, libertarian society. The two go together.<ref>Bookchin, M 1998, ''[[The Spanish Anarchists]]'', AK Press, California. p 121</ref>}}

== In popular culture ==
* The 1975 comedy film ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'' makes reference to anarcho-syndicalism. King Arthur becomes frustrated when a peasant named Dennis explains the anarcho-syndicalist commune in which he lives. The situation is exacerbated when Dennis insults Arthur's claim to [[Excalibur]] and the kingship of the Britons. Arthur, fed up, assaults Dennis and leaves, an incident that Dennis refers to as "the violence inherent in the system".
* [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]'s novel ''[[The Dispossessed]]'' (1974) shows a fictional functioning anarcho-syndicalist society. The novel is subtitled "An Ambiguous Utopia".
* [[Yanis Varoufakis]]'s novel Another Now (2021) features an alternate timeline, split off in the year 2008. The author describes the fictional economy as "something like anarcho-syndicalism"
