Anarcho-Syndicalism

Anarcho-Syndicalismball (AnSynd) is an Anarchist, Economically Left and Culturally Varied (but usually progressive) ideologyball. AnSynd believes that an Anarchist society should be based around decentralized worker-based associations under the name of "Syndicates" (which is the French word for "Trade Union", although Syndicates in this context are more sophisticated than mere trade unions).

Personality

 * 3) A black cat emblem is used by the IWW, a modern-day syndicalist organization.
 * 4) An emblem with Hercules was used by the CNT in the Spanish Civil War.

Drawing

Enemies:

 * [[File: Cap.png]] Capitalismball- GIVE ME A RAISE GODDAMNIT.
 * [[File: Long.png]] Longismball- You represent everything I hate about nationalists using left wing economics to suppress worker control of the means of production. Also, do you keep having dreams about fighting in a second American Civil War in some alternate world?
