Anarcho-syndicalism is the belief that workers, as the fundamental producers of social value, must seize control of the means of production through direct action and autonomous organization. It rejects both capitalist private ownership and state-controlled systems, arguing instead for a decentralized federation of worker-managed industries. From my perspective, anarcho-syndicalism is not merely an economic strategy but a revolutionary theory of social transformation, one that places the work…

I hold that genuine freedom can only be realized through the direct self-management of labor and the collective organization of social life by those engaged in it.

I truly believe in anarcho-syndicalism. It’s not merely a political position I align with, it’s an emancipatory framework that speaks to me on a level deeper than ideology, a praxis that gives me a sense of meaning and direction I cannot turn away from.
I believe in it because it embodies the struggle against authoritarianism and the hierarchies of the capitalist state, because it affirms horizontalism, mutual aid, and collective power at the very core of life. It matters to me not a…
