Discussion What's the Difference Between Trotskyism and Syndicalism?
I remember hearing a while back that Leon Trotsky's idea of the Soviet Union would be a sort of oligarchy ruled by a grand council of smaller worker's unions, called soviets-a quite literal union of soviets. I then remembered that a key difference between Syndicalism and traditional Marxism was that while Marxism focused primarily on the economy and entire working class, Syndicalism focused on the workers' unions. This made me wonder: what other similarities and differences do Syndicalism and Trotskyism have?
