anarcho-syndicalism A term which described principally trade union movements or political parties whose actions and ideals were based on anarchism and syndicalism. In particular, they advocated direct, militant action by their largely working-class members, rather than using the established agencies of the state (e.g. Parliament) or of property (e.g. industrial arbitration).
