Anarcho-syndicalism


A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.

In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.

Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Actually, I meant that 0bama is metaphorically the black flag of revolution to communists, anarchists and Muslims alike.

I know. I was riffing off the Black Flag / Black Fag concept. Your point is solid: Obama is where he is because a lot of people want to overturn the system and have a revolution against the things that have made the West successful.

Anarchists are just as bad as communists if not worse. They just got booked for tyring to destroy greece. I was recently in Baltimore, MD (a liberal city in a liberal state w/ plenty of liberal colleges) and the city is full of these punks and theres anarchy symbols graffitied everywhere.

If i wasn't scared theyd turn on us and help the terrorists instead of win the wars I'd want all these kids to be drafted so they can see what a real battle looks like.
