Anarcho-syndicalism

The black cat used by the Industrial Workers of the World — a major syndicalist formation — as a symbol for sabotage.

Anarcho-syndicalism is an anarchist strand of thought and modus operandi of revolutionary organizing in which emphasis is placed on the formation of radical trade unions and other syndicates to represent the workers. Anarcho-syndicalists seek the building of unions to both advocate immediate demands and to eventually achieve social revolution by means of a general strike.
