'''De Leonism''', occasionally known as '''Marxism–De Leonism''', is a form of syndicalist Marxism developed by Daniel De Leon. De Leon combined the rising theories of [[File:Synd.png]] [[syndicalism]] in his time with [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|orthodox Marxism]]. According to De Leonist theory, militant industrial unions (specialized trade unions) are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the proletariat (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system.

However, in difference from other lib-left ideologies, De Leonism also believes in a political party that should, if possible, get to power by democratic elections and when in power, the unions and workers will take control of society peacefully through the passive revolution - a revolution that will be bloodless, because there isnt a state opposing this revolution. When this happens, the state will pretty quickly be unnecessary and will desintegrate itself.

Socialist industrial unionism would operate on a model where workers elect workplace industrial shop organization which then elect industrial unions which elect themselves to regional associations of unions. These industrial unions are tasked with coordinating all industries and deciding resource allocation.

De Leonism, occasionally known as Marxism–De Leonism, is a form of unionist Marxism[1] developed by Daniel De Leon. De Leon combined the rising theories of American unionism in his time with orthodox Marxism. According to De Leonist theory, industrial unions (not to be confused with labor unions) are the vehicle of class struggle. Industrial Unions serving the interests of the proletariat (working class) will bring about the change needed to establish a socialist system. These industrial unions will then form the basis for the dictatorship of the proletariat, and then with the establishment of communism, the basis for the association of producers.

Beliefs

Impossibilism

De Leonists take a impossibilist stance on the reform or revolution question, that of reform under capitalism strengthening the bourgeoisie and securing their power while weakening socialist movements. And because of this, De Leonism is opposed to any form of reformism. However, De Leonists in the past did opt to run in presidential elections in the United States, but only as a way of seeing how much mass support they had.

Socialist Industrial Unionism

De Leonists advocate for an “industrial commonwealth” revolving directly on industry formulated around socialist industrial unionism. This socialist industrial unionism should not be confused with the industrial unionism of the IWW, which is of a syndicalist and libertarian socialist character, whereas in socialist industrial unionism is a distinct form of organization from syndicalism. Socialist industrial unionism would operate on a model where workers elect workplace industrial shop organization which then elect industrial unions which elect themselves to regional associations of unions. These industrial unions are tasked with coordinating all industries and deciding resource allocation.

Personality

De Leonists are rare on the net (due to the younger ones closing in on age 80), but once you find one, you'll find out that they're comparable to syndicalists; a huge love for industrial unionism, the arming of workers for defense, and will tend to think of the gool 'ol days when trade unionist socialist parties used to be popular (compared to our time). De Leonists are chill with most LeftComs and Anarchists, on the other hand, they're usually are very critical of "bureaucratic state despotists" and "bourgeois socialists." This is because of both ideologies inability to lead a true workers revolution with either an elitist vanguard party or trying to reform capitalism, respectively.
