Revolutionary syndicalism is a radical political and economic ideology that grew throughout the late 1800s and throughout the 20th century, aiming to put political power in the hands of the working man through labor unions. From its roots in Marxist and Anarchist thought to its connections to ancient civic models, syndicalism sought to realize a powerful vision of economic democracy. In this video, I explore the history of syndicalism, its evolution into modern movements, and its revolutionary concepts such as the general strike, the revolutionary myth, and the syndical state.
