Oh absolutely, I’m an anarchist with an embarrassingly massive intellectual crush on Rudolf Rocker’s syndicalist takes.
Like, if loving detailed organizational theory is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Yes, I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, bisexual, gender-fluid, autistic, radical leftist!
I won’t apologize for being an anarchist or for being autistic. Autism rules, and so does anarchism!

I'm an anarcho-syndicalist non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns, is bisexual, from Bergen, Norway, and whose posts automatically delete after seven days regardless of likes or boosts, because I have autism and say random shit sometimes.
I talk allot about free software, and I use Secureblue, GrapheneOS and Debian as part of my software setup. I also spend a lot of time experimenting with Linux, especially Debian Testing/Sid, GNOME, and KDE.
As an anarcho-syndicalist, I encourage you to check out NSF-IAA, the sole remaining anarcho-syndicalist organization in Norway that has been actively upholding these principles since 1916.
I maintain several pages and resource documents related to left-wing Anarchist reading below.

The Norwegian Syndicalist Federation (Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund, @nsf_iaa) was founded in 1916 during a period of growing syndicalist influence in Norway.
From its beginnings, the NSF emphasized workers’ self-management, direct action, and federalist organization. It stood apart from party-aligned and bureaucratic unions, seeking instead a movement built on solidarity, equality, and local control by the workers themselves. They reject party politics because such systems delegate power to representatives who inevitably betray workers' interests, turning struggle into electoral gamesmanship that sustains the state and capitalism.
Throughout the 20th century, the Federation remained small but active, maintaining publications (Alarm/Solidaritet), participating in strike, and sustaining membership with the International Workers’ Association (IWA-AIT). Their critique targets capitalism, wage labor exploitation, profit-driven markets, and hierarchical systems of governance, favoring collective control over production to meet human needs directly, without bosses or state interference.
Though its membership has never been large, its consistent activity has kept the principles of anarcho-syndicalism alive in Norway through agitation against reformism and propaganda for class struggle. As of 2025, the NSF-IAA continues to exist as a small but enduring organization within Norway’s radical labor movement, carrying forward more than a century of syndicalist thought and practice.
Of course, the NSF-IAA should always speak for themselves when it comes to their own history, but based on what I’ve read, and what I wrote, reflects my understanding of their role and legacy. Without their writings, historical newspapers, and publications, I wouldn’t be as politically radicalized as I am today.
I live in Bergen, while they’re based in Oslo.

Clearly, the CNT-AIT, which has weathered far worse times in its long history, will stand up to them. A gang of thugs will not be able to do what the State, in all its forms, has never managed: extinguish anarcho-syndicalism.

If you believe capitalism is something we simply have to live with, then we are not standing on the same ground. I cannot accept the idea of resigning myself to a system built on exploitation and inequality, treated as if it were natural or eternal. What passes for stability in capitalism is only the quiet before another round of dispossession.
I reject the kind of unionism that settles for small reforms while leaving the machinery of domination untouched. Progress does not come from permission granted by bosses or politicians but from the self‑management of workers themselves. My focus is on building genuine grassroots power through direct action and shared responsibility. The goal is not minor negotiation but a transformative general strike in which working people take control of production and reorganize society around mutual aid, federalism, cooperation, and freedom.
I believe, as Rudolf Rocker emphasized, that the working class must organize itself along syndicalist lines. Rocker taught that no political party can liberate workers on their behalf. Only through voluntary association, local initiative, and solidarity across trades and borders can we begin to dissolve wage slavery. Syndicalism is the practical expression of liberty in action. It calls for a federation of free communities and workers’ collectives that manage industry and agriculture for the common good, guided by federalist principles rather than profit.
To me, real freedom cannot exist where people are dependent on wage labor for survival. The task is to unite knowledge and labor, thought and practice, until social production serves human needs rather than private gain. That is the horizon I move toward each day, with others who refuse to bow to the illusion that capitalism is permanent.
