syndicalism
Union-based labor theory
Syndicalism is a radical labor movement advocating worker control of industry through trade unions rather than through political parties or the state.
Syndicalists seek to abolish capitalism via general strikes and direct action, with workers collectively owning and managing the means of production.
The term often appears with modifiers: anarcho-syndicalism, revolutionary syndicalism.
The movement peaked in early twentieth-century Europe and influenced labor organizing worldwide.
