@floi yeah i like it a lot, of all the strains of anarchism syndicalism is the one i find most compelling, and before i started intentionally refusing to identify with any political tendency more specific than "communist" i would have considered myself a syndicalist.

however, while syndicalism provides a compelling vision of a transition to a socialist society in the absence of adversity, the only way it seems possible for it to significantly restructure the material conditions to the point of interrupting the reproduction of capitalism is if it creates a quasi-state, and then you have something only different from soviet socialism on technicalities
