'''Green syndicalism''' or '''eco-syndicalism''' is a form of [[anarcho-syndicalism]] that focuses on the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of a democratic regime of [[workers' control]] as a means of effectively resolving issues surrounding [[climate change]] and the destruction of the natural environment, which advocates understand to be the logical consequences of free market [[capitalism]] and the regime of production for private profit rather than for the satisfaction of human needs.<ref>[http://libcom.org/library/green-syndicalism-alternative-red%E2%80%93green-vision] Green Syndicalism: An Alternative Red–Green Vision.

== Background == |
|||
It is related to [[anarcho-syndicalism]] and [[eco-anarchism]] methodologically, but lacks specifically [[anarchism]] and [[Marxism]] as [[ideology|ideologies]]. (However, the term has also been used by those embracing both anarchism and syndicalism, such as authors [[Graham Purchase]] and [[Jeff Shantz (author)|Jeff Shantz]]). |
|||
Its methods are a fusion of the [[trade union]], more robust methods from formal [[syndicalism]], and the [[direct action]] and [[workplace democracy]] movements (some members of the Environmental Unionist Caucus of the [[Industrial Workers of the World|IWW]] identify as green syndicalists). It may work closely with [[green movement]] and [[fair trade]] groups. However, it does not usually adopt the larger political goals of these movements. It is more likely to be an outgrowth of [[craft]] and [[Cultural heritage|heritage]] worker movements, e.g. to preserve [[wooden ship]] building, or traditional [[organic movement|organic]] ranching methods. |
|||
The links to [[eco-anarchism]] and that movement's [[Walden]]-esque philosophy has led to a belief that green syndicalists are closely related to the [[Back-to-the-land movement|back-to-the-land]], [[survivalist]], or [[hippie]] movements, or to [[ethical tradition]]s that resemble those movements such as [[Mennonite]]s and the [[Amish]], especially for their focus on [[appropriate technology]]. Green syndicalists are, however, often willing to adopt new technologies, and to work with other, similar groups worldwide. |
|||
Although [[Judi Bari]], [[Darryl Cherney]], and the other participants in [[Redwood Summer]] never actually used the term, the work they did of forging alliances between [[radical environmentalists]] and timber workers to oppose corporate clearcut logging of northwestern California's old growth [[redwood]] forests has since been described (by Shantz, et al.) as one of the most developed examples of "green syndicalism" in practice. |
