A political ideology that combines anarchism with syndicalism, believing that trade unions and workers' strikes can overthrow capitalism and establish a society without government or classes.
From 'anarcho-' (Greek 'anarchos') plus 'syndicalism' (from French 'syndicalisme', derived from 'syndicat' meaning labor union). The movement gained prominence in early 20th-century France, Spain, and Italy among labor activists.
