Anarcho-Syndicalism

Definition
Anarcho-syndicalism believes that the workers must free themselves. Workers didn't like Authoritarianism and therefore created anarcho-syndicalism.

Anarcho-syndicalists believe that Trade Unions should improve the working conditions and wages of their member workers, but they should also do education.

They believe that a revolution would be most effective if started with a general strike by already-strong trade unions.

Arguments Against
Many people believe that anarcho-syndicalism focuses too much on workers and doesn't take into account the needs of the rest of society.

Also, they believe that inciting a revolution through a general strike may not be effective.

History

It was most important from 1894 to 1914 in France and Italy. They also played an important role in the Russian Revolution. After World War I, it grew mostly in Spain and Latin America.
