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.
In an era marked by automation, precarity, and deepening inequality, the struggle for workers’ self-management, economic democracy, and social liberation remains …

Syndicalism 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.

Emancipation will only be achieved when workers collectively take control of production, end exploitation, and organize society through free co…
