Excerpt from Revolutionary Syndicalism: An Exposition and a Criticism
This essay was originally prepared for a doctor"s thesis at the University of Wisconsin in 1911. In its present form, it is much expanded and completely recast.
It has been my aim to explain the theory and practice of the Syndicalist movement in contemporary Socialism; particularly to what extent it differs from Socialism proper. Hence this essay is largely devoted to explaining how Syndicalists propose to bring about the emancipation of the labouring classes, and what social order they would set up to replace the one they would destroy. An attempt has also been made to estimate the value of their proposals. It has been thought advisable to introduce, before the main body of the essay, some account of the evolution of Syndicalism, and of the organisation actually at the disposal of French labourers today. Otherwise many references might remain obscure. But I have omitted any detailed history of the turbulent practice which has been so dramatic a feature of the French Labour Movement of the last fifteen years.
