Via a fellow Syndikalisterna Göteborgs LS member, on the situation in Sweden and the spirit in which this years mayday will be 'celebrated' there (featuring a mayday poster together with a poster calling to the defense of the right to free association and the right to strike): "In Sweden our right to free association is under threat. This as the social democrats, under pressure from the Swedish employer's association, has put into motion a government inquiry suggesting that the state should severely restrict the right to engage in industrial conflict. All this is happening under the pretense that the member-run and independent union for dockers is a greater threat than the global shipping giant Maersk, infamous for union-busting ports around the globe. A handful of justified strike hours apparently weigh heavier than the loss of 2242 workdays caused by an amazingly disproportionate Maersk lock-out! Organizing together with other independent unions, the SAC and the Gothenburg local federation of syndicalists are organizing to draw the attention of the general public to what is going on behind the curtains - with more and more local branches of the majority LO (affiliated with the social democrats) taken a stronger stance against their corrupt leadership. Thus this is the largest single issue on the mind for many people planning to attend this year's mayday - our very freedom to organize."
2026 will be a great year.
No, it will.
But only if we work together.
What are the major challenges facing us? Poverty, poor work, isolation, racism, climate change.
These can change around in priority depending on location. But, these are the same ones that underpin all of them.
Syndicalists over a hundred years ago were able to take a stand against them. By working together. We now have to.

“The unity of thought and action gave Bolshevism its original power; without entering into doctrinal questions we can define Bolshevism as a movement to the left of socialism -- which brought it closer to anarchism -- inspired by the will to achieve the revolution immediately.”
These words of Victor Serge sum up a whole new wave of thinking that came over many anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists, and socialists with the onset of the Russian Revolution. Many anarchists, syndicalists, and socialists who had been hostile to the practices of organized socialist parties for decades found themselves drawn to the example of the Bolshevik Revolution and joined the emerging Communist Parties, providing them with valuable cadres. One of these men was Victor Serge, a Russian exile most noted for his later work as a novelist. Another was Bill Haywood, an American trade unionist active in both the Western Federation of Miners and the Industrial Workers of the World. A third was James P. Cannon, another trade union militant in the USA. A fourth was Antonio Gramsci, an Italian journalist and political activist.
On the surface though, it seems that Bolshevism has little in common with anarcho-syndicalism. Bolsheviks were committed to political action, whereas syndicalists focused wholly on trade unions. The Bolsheviks were dedicated revolutionary Marxists, syndicalists on the other hand came out of an anarchist milieu in reaction to the reformism of the socialists and rarely had coherent doctrines. Syndicalists were also outside of the Socialist International, seeing the organization as elitist, while the Bolsheviks were proud members. Furthermore, the socialists were used to merely spouting revolutionary rhetoric while the Bolsheviks acted on it.
It seems that with all these differences that Bolsheviks could never come to any form of unity with syndicalists or socialists. However, during World War One and carrying over to the Bolshevik Revolution, many syndicalists and socialists joined up with the emerging Communist Parties. This union of syndicalists and socialists with communists is an example of what Michael Lowy calls elective affinity. Elective affinity is a relationship between two social trends that starts “from a certain structural analogy, the relationship consists of a convergence, a mutual attraction, an active confluence, a combination that can go as far as a fusion.” For the most part, the relationship between anarcho-syndicalists and Bolsheviks has been viewed as one of distrust, if not of hatred. Socialist Parties would later try to paint the Bolsheviks as hotheads, while they were practical. Yet in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution, none of this was true. Syndicalists and socialists such as Victor Serge, Bill Haywood, James Cannon and Antonio Gramsci found themselves drawn to the Bolsheviks based on the failure of syndicalists and socialists to confront the First World War; they were drawn to the success of the Bolsheviks, which was based on its concept of the party, revolutionary praxis and the example of soviets.

On CLASSE’s “anarchism” (Le Devoir)
Jacque Phosphore – Activist during the 2005 student strike and member of the Union communiste libertaireÂ
July 20, 2012
Original French Text:Â http://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/354963/a-propos-de-l-anarchisme-de-la-classe
To my surprise, while reading the July 11th Le Devoir, I came across a letter signed by Louis Fournier, an “old man from days gone by”. Mister Fournier, who is pleased to remind us of his status as a journalist and union activist, offers us a charming post… an anti-union and hardly journalistic one.
Depending upon “information” largely covered in the media from some right wing columnist at a loss for a scandal, Mr. Fournier contributes to the isolation and demonization of the Coalition large de l’Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante (CLASSE), the only student organization currently able to cause the defeat the liberal government. As a member of this “quasi clandestine” (ha!) Union communiste libertaire (UCL), I propose to you then these clarifications of anarchism and, since it seems necessary, of syndicalism.
