Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice (Working Classics) - Softcover
In 1937, at the behest of Emma Goldman, Rocker penned this political and philosophical masterpiece as an introduction to the ideals fueling the Spanish social revolution and resistance to capitalism the world over. Within, Rocker offers an introduction to anarchist ideas, a history of the international workers’ movement, and an outline of the syndicalist strategies and tactics embraced at the time (direct action, sabotage and the general strike). Includes a lengthy introduction by Nicholas Walter and a Preface by Noam Chomsky.
[Rocker’s] approach is far from utopian’; this is not an abstract discourse but a call to action.” Noam Chomsky
Rudolf Rocker (1873 1958) was a leading figure in the international anarchist movement for over 60 years.
In Oakland, California on March 24, 2015 a fire destroyed the AK Press warehouse along with several other businesses. Please consider visiting the AK Press website to learn more about the fundraiser to help them and their neighbors.
