}}'''Anarcho-Syndicalism''' ('''Ansynd''') is an Anarchist, Economically Left and Culturally Varied (but usually [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|progressive]]) ideology. Ansynd believes that an anarchist society should be based around decentralized worker-controlled associations under the name of "Syndicates" (which is the French word for "Trade Union", although Syndicates in this context are more sophisticated than mere trade unions). And more specifically, the achievement of anarchism by union lead strikes and direct action. Anarcho-Syndicalism has been widely accepted in Anarchist circles (with [[File:Anpostleft.png]] [[Post-Left Anarchism|one notable exception]]). He inspired everybody's favorite crusty old white man socialist, (out of the approximate 67.54 billion of them), Noam Chomsky. Ansynd is also very fond of wildcat strikes. |

|||
One thing that must be highlighted is that anarcho-syndicalism is not a different ideology from [[File:Awaj.png]] anarchism. It is instead a branch of [[File:Ancom.png]] anarcho-communism that considers [[File:Synd.png]] unions, the labor movement and strikes as the organizational method necessary to reach an anarcho-communist society or according to its supporters [[File:Libertarian Communism.png]] "libertarian communist". That is why we can summarize anarcho-syndicalism as a synthesis between anarcho-communism and [[File:RevSynd.png]] revolutionary syndicalism. |

The work the CNT-FAI did allowed for the quick arming of their militia units. These units were distinct from the traditional army structure as there was no enforceable hierarchy among the troops. The men could refuse orders if they all agreed their superior wasn't making a good call, as well they didn't have to address their superiors formally. The impact of this structure on their effectiveness as a military force is debated. What is undebatable is that they were able to form these militias quickly which lead to early gains in the war. Including the territory of Aragon which they formed into it's own autonomous government rather than control directly themselves. |

Attempts to suppress the Argon government were made in the CNT council, which only further hurt the relations between the two. This would only be the start of the CNT-FAI's troubles with other factions in the civil war. |

The Popular Front faction known as the UGT (Unión General de Trabajadores, General Worker's Union in English), began to make moves to end the control of other factions on the Republican side. Being backed by the Soviet Union, they were the strongest faction. The first group they made moves against was the Trotskyists within the POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista, The Worker's Party for Marxist Unification in English) killing and arresting top members, before moving on to arresting regular members as well. A similar fate would befall the CNT-FAI who were already losing influence in Catalonia to the Popular Front. The city of Barcelona was no longer worker controlled due to the lowered influence of the CNT-FAI. They had many issues due to the Popular Front's harassment of their government, until finally the Popular Front made moves to arrest and kill the CNT-FAI leaders. From there the CNT-FAI would exist as a shell of itself until the end of the War on April 1st 1939. |

||
Unlike his brother [[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|Ancom]] who acts like a stereotypical rebellious teen, Ansynd is a dark and brooding character that likes to play Kaiserreich. His personality can be described as a caricature of a film-noir gangster. His aesthetics and personality are based on the 1920s. His native language is European Spanish. He hates being mistaken for his brother. |

Cocoon Communism basically says anarcho-communism for internal policy, so society would structure itself that way. It is more focused internally and the CNT-FAI is debatably an example of this. |

Anarcho-Syndicalism (Ansynd) is an Anarchist, Economically Left and Culturally Varied (but usually progressive) ideology. Ansynd believes that an anarchist society should be based around decentralized worker-controlled associations under the name of "Syndicates" (which is the French word for "Trade Union", although Syndicates in this context are more sophisticated than mere trade unions). And more specifically, the achievement of anarchism by union lead strikes and direct action. Anarcho-Syndicalism has been widely accepted in Anarchist circles (with
one notable exception).
One thing that must be highlighted is that anarcho-syndicalism is not a different ideology from anarchism. It is instead a branch of
anarcho-communism that considers
unions, the labor movement and strikes as the organizational method necessary to reach an anarcho-communist society or according to its supporters
"libertarian communist". That is why we can summarize anarcho-syndicalism as a synthesis between anarcho-communism and
revolutionary syndicalism.
History
Anarcho-Syndicalism is an ideology which came out of the workers movements of the early 20th Century. It came to prominence primarily in the Catalonia region of Spain under the CNT (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, National Confederation of Labor in English) in 1910. Starting with only 27,000 members it quickly swelled to 700,000 members by 1917. Though it saw success in other countries as well with the founding of international syndicalist organizations occurring in the same decade. Such as the IWA (International Workers Association) in Germany and the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) in the United States.
The CNT-FAI and the Spanish Civil War
While all organizations would organize strikes, unions, and other pro-worker and pro-socialist events, the CNT would be the only one of these organizations to put the ideology into practice. In 1936, after an attempted coup by Francisco Franco, the CNT-FAI (The two organizations had merged by this point) would be one of the many organizations to resist the coup. The resistance held for long enough to transform the incident into a Civil War. The civil war would be divided into two primary sides with several factions in each. The Nationalists versus the Republicans. The Syndicalists belonged to the Republican side, a primarily leftist force which allied itself to the previous democratic government. (History video on factions in the Republican side) The CNT-FAI would seize the means of production within the Catalonian region within the first few months of the conflict. Dramatically altering the daily lives of the Catalonians by removing traditional hierarchies as George Orwell notes in "Homage to Catalonia."
The CNT-FAI took over the various factories, farms, dockyards, and other facilities within Catalonia and put them under the control of local unions. Improving the wages and working conditions of the masses. This combined with the civil war lead to the revolutionary wave across Catalonia.
The work the CNT-FAI did allowed for the quick arming of their militia units. These units were distinct from the traditional army structure as there was no enforceable hierarchy among the troops. The men could refuse orders if they all agreed their superior wasn't making a good call, as well they didn't have to address their superiors formally. The impact of this structure on their effectiveness as a military force is debated. What is undebatable is that they were able to form these militias quickly which lead to early gains in the war. Including the territory of Aragon which they formed into it's own autonomous government rather than control directly themselves.
Creating the Regional Defense Council of Aragon with the newly taken territory. Though tensions between the two quickly broke out as their visions conflicted. Attempts to suppress the Argon government were made in the CNT council, which only further hurt the relations between the two. This would only be the start of the CNT-FAI's troubles with other factions in the civil war.
The Popular Front faction known as the UGT (Unión General de Trabajadores, General Worker's Union in English), began to make moves to end the control of other factions on the Republican side. Being backed by the Soviet Union, they were the strongest faction. The first group they made moves against was the Trotskyists within the POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista, The Worker's Party for Marxist Unification in English) killing and arresting top members, before moving on to arresting regular members as well. A similar fate would befall the CNT-FAI who were already losing influence in Catalonia to the Popular Front. The city of Barcelona was no longer worker controlled due to the lowered influence of the CNT-FAI. They had many issues due to the Popular Front's harassment of their government, until finally the Popular Front made moves to arrest and kill the CNT-FAI leaders. From there the CNT-FAI would exist as a shell of itself until the end of the War on April 1st 1939.
The CNT-FAI still exists today, albeit with far less influence than it once had. It came back after Franco died and Spain returned to a democracy. It mostly organizes union work and lower level leftist activities in modern Spain.
Personality
Unlike his brother Ancom who acts like a stereotypical rebellious teen, Ansynd is a dark and brooding character that likes to play Kaiserreich. His personality can be described as a caricature of a film-noir gangster. His aesthetics and personality are based on the 1920s. His native language is European Spanish. He hates being mistaken for his brother.
Variants
Cocoon Communism
Cocoon Communism basically says anarcho-communism for internal policy, so society would structure itself that way. It is more focused internally and the CNT-FAI is debatably an example of this.
How to Draw
Symbols
Different syndicalist symbols can be used to represent Ansynd.
- A
crossed torch and hammer is used to represent Syndicalists in the fictional universe of Kaiserreich. While this symbol is easily recognizable online, it was not used in real life.
- A three-pointed red star was used by Republican factions in the Spanish Civil War.
- A black cat emblem is used by the IWW, a modern-day syndicalist organization.
- An emblem with Hercules was used by the CNT in the Spanish Civil War.
Drawing
- Draw
Anarcho-Communism.
- Replace the left eye with a Gear-shaped eye-patch.
- In the eye-patch draw one of the aforementioned syndicalist symbols.
Props
Anarcho-Syndicalism may have a variety of props, mostly based on 1920s aesthetic:
- CNT-FAI hat from the Spanish Civil War.
- 1920s gangster fedora.
- 1920s-style Tommy Gun.
- Cigarette or cigar.
