Anarcho-syndicalism

combines the economic methods of syndicalism with the revolutionary politics of anarchism. Archo-syndycalism emphasizes that grass-roots organizations of workers can form common co-operative unions and through the withholding of labor (as in a general strike) can take control of a capitalist system. With the means of production in the hands of confederations of workers, the workers can then facilitate their own activity and form an alternate cooperative economic system making production decisions based on human needs and with a society that would emphasize direct democratic values of fairness, justice and equal opportunity. Anarcho-syndicalist strategy emphasizes grass-roots organizing to achieve radical social change.
