@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaI just searched “anarcho-syndicalism” on Shitter and holy hell, I cannot fucking believe what I’m seeing. People are talking straight out of their asses.

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaSyndicalism is the idea that workers should organize themselves into unions within their industries and use those unions to take control of workplaces, so workers—not bosses or shareholders—run things directly and democratically.
