Unemployment: An Anarcho-Syndicalist Critique and Program

by Jake Tompkins

The way the current capitalist world system is arranged there is a high level of unemployment across the world, especially because of the crises which has seen no recovery for anyone, but the richest of the rich. Unemployment is one of the worst parts of capitalist despotism. It means losing your ability to survive in this system, to just exist. This will be an attempt at asserting an Anarcho-Syndicalist political program for tackling the issue of unemployment. First, this article will lay out an analysis of unemployment as a phenomena, being unique to capitalism and a basic part of it’s functioning. The article will go on to outline how Anarcho-Syndicalists can approach the issue of unemployment in our movement for a libertarian communist society in the real world.
