For one thing, the goal of syndicalism is the elimination of capitalism, not merely the amelioration of the workers’ immediate economic problems and labor conditions. Its aim is admittedly revolutionary. Not less important os the syndicalist goal of vesting all economic and social decisions in the hands of the direct producers- the workers in each specific enterprise. The guiding and most important principle of syndicalism is that the management of production occurs at the base of society, not at its summit, and decisions flow from below to above. Hence, syndicalism is anti-authoritarian. The democratic, federalist, and decentralized economic organs of the proletariat replace the political agencies of the state. Authority that is currently vested in political organs is turned over to the economic units of society and the actual producers who operate them.

theuppitynegras: norttron: fuckyeahmarxismleninism: Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013. The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes: Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants. Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped. Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay.  There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day. There would be no limit on class size The district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.” Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door. There’s more here. notice most of the posters are children of color I just want you to notice
