A person who advocates for anarchosyndicalism, believing that workers' organizations and collective action can eliminate government and create a free society based on labor unions.
Derived from 'anarchosyndicalism' plus the agent suffix '-ist'. The term became widely used in late 19th and early 20th-century labor movements across Europe and Latin America.
Many anarchosyndicalists were ordinary factory workers and miners who dreamed of a world where their union had all the power—not a boss, not a government, but the workers themselves running everything. Spain's CNT actually came closest to achieving this vision during the Civil War.
