Anarcho-Syndicalism

Anarcho-Syndicalism (Ansynd) is an Anarchist, Economically Left and Culturally Varied (but usually progressive) ideology. Ansynd believes that an anarchist society should be based around decentralized worker-controlled 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). And more specifically, the achievement of anarchism by union lead strikes and direct action. Anarcho-Syndicalism has been widely accepted in Anarchist circles. He inspired everybody's favorite crusty old white man socialist, (out of the approximate 67.54 billion of them), Noam Chomsky. Ansynd is also very fond of wildcat strikes.

Personality
Unlike his brother Ancom who acts like a stereotypical rebellious teen. Ansynd is a dark and brooding character that likes to play Kaiserreich. His personality can be described as a caricature of a film-noir gangster. His aesthetics and personality are based on the 1920s. His native language is European Spanish. He hates being mistaken for his brother.

Symbols
Different syndicalist symbols can be used to represent Ansynd.


 * 1) A [[File:AnSynd.png]] crossed torch and hammer is used to represent Syndicalists in the fictional universe of Kaiserreich. While this symbol is easily recognizable online, it was not used in real life.
