Syndicalism

Syndicalism, shortened to Synd, is an economically left-wing, moderate libertarian and culturally varied ideology who is the son of Socialism, and believes that unionization of the workforce, the establishment of local, decentralised revolutionary worker organizations called syndicates and advancements of worker's demands through the use of strikes and direct action is the best method by which a socialist society should be achieved.

Personality
Syndicalism is often portrayed as obsessive about unionization, significantly more than his father, and he can often be seen attempting to persuade other leftists to organise and/or join worker's strikes, being highly concerned with the rights and demands of the workers and extremely critical of business owners and their practices. Synd also loves Kaiserreich due to his presence as an ideology in the game.

Symbols
