Just a wondering if it would be OK to put an article in the Library?

The Union makes us Strong? Syndicalism: a Critical Analysis. was a set of three articles published in the ACF magazine Organise! 46, 47 & 48 in 1997 and 1998.

An excerpt from the intro to Part 1 Origins:

"Rather than separate theory and practice we will attempt to show how the behaviour of various syndicalist movements has been informed by its theoretical foundations and the political influences acting upon it. Syndicalism has been accused of ‘apoliticism’ and, indeed, a certain anti-politicicism has been a central feature of many syndicalist organisations. This is only half the story, however, and fails to take into consideration the fact that syndicalism has come under the influence of many political currents, not least anarchism, and that it should not be forgotten that these have included reformist socialism (particularly the French CGT), nationalism (notably the Italian UIL) and even monarchism (monarcho-syndicalism in turn of the century France)!"

Most of these things are out of copyright or holders are happy for friendly sites to host them. Post them and they can be removed by admins if there is an issue with copyright.

antifaoz - I'd say put them up, if there's any copyright issues we can always take them down.

zero - go for it. you can either consolidate them into one article, or create a 'book' (i.e. create a parent item with the title, intro blurb and tags, then create an article for each part of the series and make them 'children' of the parent using the 'book outline' option). Let me/us know if this doesn't make sense!

Zero, yes I would say go for it and it would probably be easiest to consolidate them into one article. Please have a look at our how-to before posting:
