Excerpt from Syndicalism, Industrial Unionism and Socialism I trust that the statement of the Syndicalist position which I shall make will satisfy most thoroughly Of all the thoughtful Syndicalist, who knows just why he is a Syndicalist, and is not merely a victim of the glitter Of new phrases. I shall impute nothing to my Syndicalist friends which is not frankly set forth in their own literature. My own interest, not less than theirs, requires a perfectly true and balanced account of the essentials of Syndicalism and a disregard for non-essentials im posed upon it by individual idiosyncrasies. This is not easy of attainment, for Syndicalism is in the formative stage. Its doctrines are not fully developed, its philosophy is rather chaotic. But I shall try to state the case for Syndicalism more clearly and consecutively than has yet been done in English, with a determination to be scrupulously fair.
