Summary "Syndicalism in France" by Louis Levine is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the complexities and evolution of revolutionary syndicalism within the broader context of the French labor movement, especially focusing on the General Confederation of Labor (C.G.T.). The author provides a critical analysis of the development of labor unions in France, examining how revolutionary syndicalism intertwined with socialist principles and trade unionism in pursuit of economic and social reforms. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the term "syndicalism," clarifying its meaning for English readers and elaborating on its revolutionary connotations in the context of French labor relations. Levine outlines the foundational aspects of revolutionary syndicalism, situating it as part of a larger socialist movement that seeks to critique existing socio-economic structures and advocate for the rights of workers. He emphasizes the distinctive characteristics of the French labor movement, particularly the pivotal role of the C.G.T., while hinting at the contentious debates surrounding syndicalist ideology and its implications for labor politics both in France and abroad.
