The term "Anarcho-Syndicalism" probably originates in Spain, where, according to Murray Bookchin, anarcho-syndicalist characteristics were present in the labor movement from the early 1870's -- decades before they appeared anywhere else. "Anarcho-Syndicalism" refers to the theory and practice of revolutionary industrial unionism developed in Spain and also later France and elsewhere towards the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century.

The use of such a long and syllable-intensive word to describe a radical social movement stems from the need in the countries where it first developed to distinguish itself from its reformist counterparts. "Sindicalismo" in Spanish, for example, simply means "Unionism"; the addition of the "Anarco" prefix denotes the libertarian branch of the union movement, or that which aims not only at day-to-day improvements in working conditions under capitalism, but also eventually at a fundamental improvement in the social distribution of decision-making power and access to resources -- not simply "bigger cages and longer chains" -- through social revolution.

While it might seem redundant to do so, "Anarcosindicalismo" is generally translated into English as "Anarcho-Syndicalism", and not, as one might otherwise expect, as "Anarcho-Unionism." It is true that the English word "Syndicalism" has the same distinguishing effect as the Spanish "Anarcosindicalismo", and that it can be and is used to describe essentially the same type of activity, particularly by those keen to avoid dogmatism and a sort of "ivory tower" mentality . While this is so, the prefixed version is generally used for reasons of straightforwardness and consistency within the libertarian labor movement.

I'll bet you did not know that.

My mother was a History Major and taught History at the College of Charleston, and I not only didn't know that, had never heard of it!

Listen -- strange women lying in threads wielding sceptors
is no basis for a system of forum moderation. Supreme executive moderation
derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical
boozy aquatic ceremony.

DAMB. NOW I NEED TO REWRITE TOMORROW'S STRIP.

My favorite part... I'm sure some here would relate....

"Oh no... Bad Zoot... Bad Naughty Zoot... She's been setting alight the tower which I just remembered is "grail shaped"... It's not the grail?"

"There's only one punishment for setting alight the tower lamp.... you must tie her down to the bed and spank her...."

(Now this is somewhat from memory so I need to rewatch this movie again )

But really in the spirit of the "newbie".... "Help Help I'm being repressed! Help Help I'm being repressed!"
