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|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]] [[italianItalian 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.
