From Polcompball Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Template:CharacterSyndicalismball, shortened to Synd, is an economically left-wing and in other aspects varied ideology who is the son of File:Soc.png Socialismball, and believes that unionization of the workforce, the establishment of local, decentralised revolutionary worker organisations and advancements of worker's demands through the use of strikes and direct action is the best method by which a socialist society should be achieved.

Personality

Syndicalismball is often portrayed as obsessive about unionization, significantly more than his father, and he can often be seen attempting to persuade other leftists to organise and/or join worker's strikes, being highly concerned with the rights and demands of the workers and extremely critical of business owners and their practices. Synd also loves Kaiserreich due to his presence as an ideology in the game.
