Syndicalism, shortened to Synd, is an economically left-wing, moderate libertarian and culturally varied, usually left-leaning ideology who is the son of Socialism, and believes that unionization of the workforce, the establishment of local, decentralized revolutionary worker organizations called syndicates 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.

Ideological Analysis and Comparison

Syndicalism versus Council Communism

These two ideologies may appear very similar of 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. 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 Council Communism all workers get to vote for the council while in Syndicalism only unionized employees can vote.

Syndicalism versus Guild Socialism

WIP

Personality

Syndicalism is often portrayed as obsessive about unionization, significantly more than his father, and he can often be seen attempting to persuade other leftists to organize 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 the HOI4 mod Kaiserreich due to his presence as a major ideology both in-universe and in the game.

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 culturally conservative area but of course the opposite is true when he works in a cultually progressive area.

How to Draw

Flag of Syndicalism

Symbols

Different syndicalist symbols can be used to represent Syndicalism.

  1. A crossed torch and hammer is used to represent Syndicalists in the fictional universe of Kaiserreich. While this symbol is easily recognizable online, it was not used in real life.
  2. A three-pointed red star was used by Republican factions in the Spanish Civil War.
  3. A black cat emblem is used by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a modern-day syndicalist organization.
  4. An emblem with Hercules was used by the CNT (Anarcho-Syndicalists) in the Spanish Civil War.
  5. A yoke and arrows emblem was used by National Syndicalists in Spain.
  6. A golden arm holding a hammer is used by De Leonism, a form of Marxist Syndicalism.

Drawing

  1. Draw a ball with eyes.
  2. Fill it in with red.
  3. In black, draw one of the aforementioned symbols.
  4. (Optional) Add a construction worker's hat.

Relationships

Workers

Frenemies

  • Anarcho-Communism - You're based but I wish people would stop confusing my son for you. It’s getting old.
  • Keynesianism - Sure, I want better wages and access to benefits but you're a tad too moderate.
  • Nordic Model - Same with you, but a pretty damn good compromise if I'm being honest.
  • Guild Socialism - You're a good friend but you're also very bossy, like my manager.
  • National Syndicalism - Nation, tradition and authority are contentious topics between us.
  • Marxism–Leninism - I like the whole socialism idea but trade.
  • Cliffism - Your a bit more interesting but I do admire your passion for striking and action. SOLIDARITY!
  • Social Democracy - You support trade unions, welfare states & labor rights, but reforming capitalism isn't enough.
  • Left Communism - In what way does a free organization of working men distract from true socialism? You armchair lover!
  • Corporatism - Alright, but way too statist for my liking.
  • Conservatism - We tend to agree with you on social issues, but why do you hate trade unions?

Bosses

  • Capitalism - The gentle labourer shall no longer suffer from the noxious greed of Mr. Krabs!
  • Neoliberalism - Union busting welfare lover.
  • Mediacracy - Stop making us look bad, dammit.
  • Plutocracy - Put your money where your mouth is.
  • Social Liberalism and Pink Capitalism - I don't want your bribes, I need a job. And having more diversity isn't going to solve anything. We don't need rich Ivy League idiots telling us what to do.
  • State Liberalism - You are like these two aboves except worse!
  • Fascism - STOP BANNING TRADE UNIONS! State owned labour campaigns aren't gonna cut it. I hate being related to you so much. I will bash your skull in.
  • Corporatocracy - I couldn't think of a more natural enemy.
  • Reactionary Socialism - We're not all like you, contrary to what others think.
  • Post-Industrialism - FUCK YOU for outsourcing all our jobs and factories to China!! Typing keys in a computer isn't going to cut it out, kid.
  • Third Way - So you call yourself the Labour Party yet you don't like labour unions. Curious.
  • Liberal Conservatism - No, you're not going to bust my trade unions!
  • Zelenskyism — why did you cancel the labor laws?
