Source Documents/Neosyndicalist Manifesto


Preamble

Ever since the October Revolution and the subsequent rise of Marxism-Leninism in most of the former Russian Empire the ideology of Syndicalism was considered "old-fashioned", "outdated" and even "dead". During and after the events of 1917-1922 more and more leftist parties in Western Europe began rejecting the ideas of anarchist ideologues like Proudhon and Bakunin, the fall of the Makhnovshchina put the last nail in the coffin of that, and began flirting with "the big three" of the Russian Revolution: Lenin, Trotsky and Bukharin. By the time Stalin got into power, Syndicalism fell out of the mainstream: slowly being less trusted thanks to the German Revolution and how brutally it was put down.
But those events are over: the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, China is de-facto a capitalist state, and more and more people are being disillusioned by Capitalism. Is this the time for Syndicalism to make a comeback?
