I have recently posted on my Anarchism blog (www.robertgraham.wordpress.com) some translations of material by Neno Vasco and Alexander Schapiro that should be of interest to libcom & anarchosyndicalism 101 users. The Neno Vasco post and page reproduce excerpts from his 1920 Portuguese publication, The Anarchist Conception of Syndicalism. The Schapiro post reproduces a 1917 Russian article by Schapiro on the "crisis of power," and his 1937 introduction to Pierre Besnard's pamphlet, Anarcho-Syndicalism and Anarchism.
