As far as I understand, anarcho-syndicalism concerns itself with the establishment of the trade union as the highest level of power, where all decisions are made mutually, etc.
If I am correct - then what about the terrible history of corruption of trade unions? I think we can take it as a given that power corrupts otherwise good people, and so I am by no means singling trade unions out in this criticism.. I just get the feeling that, since anarchism is meant to free people from the oppression of hierarchical social structures, then what has anarcho-syndicalism got to offer?
It seems like swapping one thing for another.. Another that will eventually turn out to be as tyrannical as the previous.
