Welcome sindicalistas

This is an organizer's journal on union organizing, movement politics, and long-term vision. It is for fantasizing about future strategies and debating current tactics. I'm using the Spanish word "sindicalista" partly because it resembles the English word "syndicalist," meaning a believer in syndicalism or anarcho-syndicalism, a brand of anti-capitalist ideology with which I loosely identify, but mostly because it translates most literally to the word "unionist" or "trade unionist."

This journal is emphatically not a sectarian message-machine. It is for honest discussion among people who share my passion for organizing for a better society. In spirit I am a socialist, an anarchist, a social democrat, a democratic socialist, an anarcho-communist, a pareconist, a poet, and all sorts of other things, but I belong to no party (nor do I rule out belonging to a party at some point in the future).

As I post my observations, reflections, ideas, and rants, please chime in. And please spread the word.
