I 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. They treat it like a meme, like it’s some chaotic buzzword, when it means workers taking control of their own labor, seizing their workplaces, organizing through federations, striking, sabotaging, and tearing down every hierarchy built to crush them.

When the working class organizes on the basis of solidarity and direct action, workers and communities can collectively manage and control the means of production, while federations of workers and local communities coordinate production and social life through mutual aid and federalist principles, without bosses or the state.
