Anarchism, Class Struggle, and Labor Dynamics

This chapter explores pure anarchist critiques of class struggle and the division of labor, arguing that traditional labor movements merely redistribute power within capitalist structures. It examines the historical tensions and ideological splits within leftist movements, particularly in the context of anarcho-communism and syndicalism. Furthermore, the chapter highlights the complex interplay of collaboration and conflict within labor unions and the lasting influences of anarchism in contemporary social movements.
