Last Christmas, I came over anarcho-syndicalism on Wikipedia, and since then, I’ve really gotten interested in anarchism, especially anarcho-syndicalism!

Today I own two copes of Rudolf Rocker’s Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice and recently bought a copy of Peter Kropotkin’s The Conquest of Bread from AK Press.

Both books are also available for free on The Anarchist Library:

Rudolf Rocker: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/rudolf-rocker-anarchosyndicalism
Peter Kropotkin: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread

I wanted to share a link to my thread and some of my thoughts about it here on #Lemmy enjoy!

Good thread friend. As I said in mastodon:: anarco-syndicalism also forces the workers to work. As a historical example you have the Spanish civil war, where the anarchist union, the CNT, forced the workers to work, repressing and punishing those who worked less. I've expanded the message there. It's a good start anyway. I also started in the anti-capitalist field with ideas similar to yours.

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules: 0. Post content that is thoughtful and relevant to social liberation from an anarchist, autonomous, antifascist perspective.

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
