Sorel’s other important contribution is his conception of producerist ethics, which he borrowed from Friedrich Nietzsche’s conception of master morality, and of social peace. In Sorel’s home country, France, he examined how the bourgeoisie had weakened itself and given economic and political concessions to the socialists of the country, but only in order to stabilize themselves. This had resulted in the rise of decadence within the bourgeoisie, and in the French left, as the bourgeoisie and proletariat intermingled in the democratic affair. His solution was that of producerist ethics (which he examined from the old bourgeoisie and their cold and ruthless nature in seeking profit) of unlimited proletarian violence, which would destroy social peace and accelerate the class war to its breaking point.

Sorel’s pessimism is an anti-reformist one, being based inon his naming of socialist reformism as being political optimism. His main focus with this is inon the dire state of the French socialist movement and how they have surrendered themselves to bourgeois forces. The bourgeoisie in order to pacify the proletariat has granted the socialist parties limited power in order to give them hope of achieving their goals peacefully, and with this locking the socialist movement in a cycle of political optimism that will lead only to the stabilization of capitalism. The only solution as stated before for Sorel is unrestrained revolutionary violence by the proletariat in order to destroy social peace and theits institutions of it, and to accelerate the class war.

These two ideologies may appear very similar ofoff the bat, and they mostly are, but have a few key differences. First of all, council communism is scientific while syndicalism tends, not guaranteed, to be [[Utopian Socialism|utopic]] (in a Marxist sense). The second key difference is that syndicalism wants unions to own businesses while council communism wants worker -elected councils/boards. This might seem small but in reality, it can be quite a huge difference, as in [[File:Councom.png]] [[Council Communism]] all workers get to vote for the council while in [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|Syndicalism]] only unionized employees can vote. A third key difference is that [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|Syndicalism]] may, and often does, support decentralized rule akin to anarchism while [[File:Councom.png]] [[Council Communism]] supports the very idea of further centralisationcentralization of the proletarian state.

[[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|Syndicalism]] and [[File:Guildsoc.png]] [[Guild Socialism|Guild Socialism]] also bear a lot of similarities but differ in that [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicates and unions]] are worker -representative bodies for specific companies while guilds are worker -owned organizations that represent entire industries in specific municipalities. [[File:Guildsoc.png]] [[Guild Socialism|Guild Socialism]] has no specific civic or governmental stance. While [[File:Synd.png]] syndicates operate within a market economy (usually) but with worker ownership of workplaces, [[File:Guildsoc.png]] [[Guild Socialism|guild socialism]] on the other hand, allocates resources and needs to their workers directly.

At first, these systems might seem quite similar, especially with both sharing the common label of [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Unionism]]. However, looking closer, there are some striking differences between the two. Firstly, [[File:Deleon.png]] [[De Leonism]], just like [[File:Councom.png]] [[Council Communism|council communism]], is [[File:ScientificSoc.png]] [[Marxism|scientific]], while [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicalism]] tends to be [[File:Utsoc.png]] [[Utopian Socialism|utopian]]. Secondly, [[File:Deleon.png]] [[De Leonism]] supports [[File:Unitary.png]] [[Centralism|centralization]] unlike [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicalism]] which is usually either [[File:Fed.png]] [[Federalism|federal]] or [[File:Confed.png]] [[Confederalism|confederal]]. Thirdly, [[File:Deleon.png]] [[De Leonism|De Leonists]] support [[File:Socialist Industrial Unionism.png]] [[Ergatocracy|industrial unions]] elected by all workers which are tasked with decision making, which in contrast with the [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicalist]] approach of [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicates]] owning and controlling businesses. Lastly, [[File:Deleon.png]] [[De Leonism|De Leonists]] support the utilization of a [[File:Vanguardism.png]] [[Particracy|party of class-conscious proletarians]] in order to organize the proletariat into [[File:Socialist Industrial Unionism.png]] [[Ergatocracy|industrial unions]] and educate them, unlike [[File:Synd.png]] [[Syndicalism]]syndicalism which rejects the [[File:Vanguardism.png]] [[Particracy|party-form]] entirely, and in its place in order to organize the proletariat, [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|syndicates]] utilizes forms of propaganda in order to install discipline such as [[File:Sorel.png]] myths.

He is often religious, but often still, socially progressive or "socially laissez-faire". However, this is not hard and fast, and many are culturally conservative too. This is exacerbated when he works in a [[File:Cultcon.png]] [[Traditionalism|culturally conservative]] area but of course, the opposite is true when he works in a [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|cultually progressive area]].

Unlike many of his leftist comrades, Synd cares very little for theory, and [[File:Armchair_Left_Communism.png]] [[Italian Left Communism|some]] question if he can even read. Despite this, he is generally amicable with other leftists, though he does wish they trusted more in the power of the workers.
