What are the basic strategies and tactics of anarcho-syndicalism?
The basic strategies of anarcho-syndicalism can be broken up into three parts: agitation, education and organisation. Each aspect follows from and builts on top of the previous one on the scale and depth of activity. The classic tactics of anarcho-syndicalist unions include forms of direct action carried out while still on the job, and — at particular flashpoints in history — general strikes. The basis of all anarcho-syndicalist strategy, however, is collective action. If most of the problems in the world can be traced back to blind worship of the money-god at the expense of any other value or principle, and if the money-god has financial power and the support of state power, individual attempts at resistance will be, are, have been and always will be totally annhiliated. Therefore, the only thing that can defeat the formidable power of the money-god is the people power which they themselves make when they organise themselves into a common, collective resistance.
