Editing Anocratic Syndicalism

Syndicalist anocracy, most prevalent in South America, was the libertarian-left counter to growing rationalist influence in the region.

== '''Values''' ==
Anocratic syndicalism seeks to give power to the labor unions, forming worker communes where industries and the means of production is managed by the workers directly and not by the state. Unlike anarcho-syndicalism, anocratic syndicalism does not seek to abolish the state completely however, instead mearely keeping it at bay in order to prevent communist totalitarianism. Anocratic syndicalism also seeks to keep the nation under a vaguely democratic framework, as it still brands itself as a protector of freedom and [[Old West|Old Western]] democracy, something that has been widely criticised by especially right-wingers, claiming that in spite of its quest to end imperialism, they had imperialized a fair share of nations themselves.

== '''History''' ==

==== '''Background''' ====
In 2028 anarchist revolutions broke out in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Guyana which the United States of America immediately intervened in to stop. USA managed to put down the Panamaian uprising the same year, and effectively neutralize the Guyanan uprising by 2030, he got stuck in guerilla warfare in Colombia and Venezuela lasting all the way until 2033, when he was forced to withdraw due to the [[Second American Civil War]]. In the resulting peace deal the governments in Panama, Guyana and Colombia was restored while Venezuela became anarchist but was forced to cede the Zulian Region along with most of the Andean and Central-Western Region to Colombia, some border territories to Guyana and his islands to USA.

==== '''Colombian Syndicalism''' ====
After witnessing his savior (USA) get defeated by URA in the [[Second American Civil War]], Colombia made it his mission to oppose the URA and his rationalism at all cost and keep South America free from right-wing imperialism. It was for this reason the Colombian Syndicalist Party (the CSP) was formed, and in the 2038 Colombian presidential election it won the majority.

==== '''Mexican Coup''' ====
The second most impacted nation of the Blue Scare, after Colombia, would probably be Mexico. After URA came to power he was terrified that he would be getting invaded. For this reason he started rallying his people under anocratic syndicalism in hopes of motivating them to fight off America in the form of guerilla war, if an invasion would ever come. This rallying ended with the 2040 Mexican Syndicalist Coup D'état establishing a syndicalist dictatorship in the name of national defense. This asn't very liked by his catholic population so he had to continously justify his claim of resisting URA in order to stay in power. He never outright joined the CSAS but maintained very friendly relations with them.

==== '''Argentine Civil War''' ====
Following the 2039 Argentine general election it quickly became apparent that Agentina, under URA's influence, was moving away from its successful libertarian mileism and to a more keynesian and rationalist style of governance. Thus, in June 2041 syndicalist Patagonia rose up in the country's south, claiming to "retain economical freedom unrestrained from rationalist influence". They sought to merge mileian economics with Colombian syndicalist economics, which merger didn't turn out very well in practice and so they opted for full fledged syndicalism after the 2044 Patagonian Economical Crisis. Nevertheless, the Patagonian syndicalists recieved heavy support from Colombia, Mexico and an exiled Third Reich, whilst Argentina recieved support from the [[United Rationales of America]]. Patagonia won the war in January 2043 after German demands to "finish it quickly". After the war Colombia and Patagonia formed an alliance called named CSAS, (Combined South American States), which is also sometimes referred to as the "Union Pact".

==== '''Ideological Wildfire''' ====
Following the Argentine Civil War support for syndicalism in Latin America grew like wildfire, with Syndicalist coup d'états in Nicaragua, Hatiti and Panama and democratically elected syndicalist governments in Bolivia and Peru. Support for syndicalism was also high in Cuba after URA toppled his neocommunist regime in 2037, though American fiddling made sure it never got elected. The Guyanas faced large anarchist riots in the 40s too, leading to the Surinamese Revolution in 2045 while France and Guyana managed to eventually put down their own unrest.

==== '''URA's Influence''' ====
Even though the [[United Rationales of America|URA]] lost much of his once held influence in the Americas during this time, that didn't stop him from trying his best to preserve this. In 2046 the URA launched a rationalist coup d'état in El Salvador and in 2048 he launched a coup in Brazil and the following year aso in the Bahamas, making them both his puppets.

==== '''Easening Tensions''' ====
Throughout the 50s, 60a and early 70s tensions slowly began to settle as most pieces had already been set and thus the balance of power could not easily be put out of whack. Due to this decrease in tentions, support for syndicalism started to erode, causing many of the previously neutral countries like Chile, Paraguay, Guyana, Ecuador and Costa Rica to start leaning towards the URA. In 2050, during the British Civil War, Patagonia invaded the Falklands which Britain later in 2057 took back along with taking Patagonia's Antarctic territories.

==== '''Reescalation''' ====
As the Ecuadorian Rationale Party rose to 12 % of the votes in the 2073 Ecuadorian general election, Colombia decided to launch a preemptive invasion of the country in 2076 in order to puppet it, however the Ecuadorian government managed to escape to the Galapagos where they became an American protectorate. In 2077 the British Empire decided to invade Venezuela, resulting in Colombia trying to rally the CSAS into declaring war on him. Britain was however able to reach an agreement with the CSAS that he would place a syndicalist government in power of Venezuela after being done invading it.

==== '''Second African Revolution''' ====
''See more: [[2nd African Revolution]]''

During the Second African Revolution anocratic syndicalism became a popular alternative to social liberalism and "anarcho"-liberalism, leading to nations like the Congolese Commune and Mauritania adopting the ideology.

==== '''World War III''' ====
In 2080 Brazil tried rebelling from URA through a syndicalist revolution which the CSAS would officially intervene in by 2082. The resulting war between the CSAS and the Anglosphere would be a guerilla war on the vast underdeveloped Amazon plains and in what was left of the rainforest, ending in 2083 with an American withdrawl from the country, at least on paper, since northeastern Brazil would remain a rationalist regime.

==== '''Decline''' ====
With rationalism in decline and most of South America free from rationalism there really isn't much of a need for syndicalism anymore. Due to this, an increasing number of syndicalist nations has begun adopting more moderate position and the future of the ideology lies in uncertainty.
