Anarcho-syndicalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the need for organized labor movements to overthrow capitalism and establish a society based on mutual aid and direct democracy. Synonyms for anarcho-syndicalist include syndicalist, libertarian socialist, council communist, and revolutionary anarchist. These terms all refer to a broad political tradition that seeks to challenge the dominance of the capitalist class and create a more equitable and just society. What unites these different labels is a commitment to autonomous, worker-led organizations that aim to seize control of the means of production and transform society from the bottom up.
