'''Syndicalism''' is a political and economic ideology which advocates giving control of both [[industry]] and [[government]] to [[labor union|labor union federations]]. ''Syndicalisme'' is a [[French language|French]] word meaning "trade unionism". This milder version of syndicalism was overshadowed by revolutionary [[anarcho-syndicalism]] in the early 20th century, which was most powerful in [[Anarchism in Spain|Spain]], but appeared in other parts of the world as well.

Syndicalism forms one of the three most common theories of a pre-managed [[economic]] and labor structure. It believes, on an [[ethical]] basis, that all participants of each organized trade internally share equal ownership of its output and therefore deserve equal earnings and benefits within that particular trade, regardless of position or duty. This contrasts [[socialism]]'s emphasis on the distribution of output from all different trades to one another as required by each trade, not necessarily considering how those trades organize themselves internally. Both these systems of pre-organized government can theoretically include variations on [[privatism]], unlike the third such pre-arranged [[egalitarian]] strand of [[Communism]], which includes abolition of government-sanctioned private ownership and private earnings in favor of making all property legally public and therefore solely the responsibility of the state and/or the community.  Instances of syndicalism in power, during the [[Spanish Revolution]] or the [[1956 Hungarian Revolution]] rapidly approach the economic organisation of communism, often within weeks of syndicalists seizing control of social production.
