Anarcho-syndicalism
A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.
In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.
Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Bill Ayers: "I considered myself partly an anarchist then and I consider myself partly an anarchist now. I mean, I'm as much an anarchist as I am a Marxist which is to say I find a lot of the ideas in anarchism appealing."

Oh my. . Sounds right out of the Communist Manifesto, CPUSA, DSA, DNC, OFA, SDS, Weather Underground, Alinsky and Ayers.
Waiting for the networks to have an hour long 'Special on Antifa' to point this out. . .
Syndicalists? Unionists? Ridiculous. The first thing statism makes possible under any of those revolutions is to make Unionizing illegal!
The Soviets, Hitler, Mao etc made Unions illegal
Non hierarchical is a joke too since they consider their enemies as a class to enslave and murder. They have a definite hyerarchy of moral superiorizing giving them opinion making justifications over the “less informed” subclasses. They wear masks for goodness’ sakes! How can they say they are against hierarchy when some are more masked than others in their manipulated cloak and dagger bull sht.
