Anarcho syndicalists think you build a big union, do a general strike, and bam, capitalism btfo, socialism. Council communists think the revolution will be a long struggle that will educate us and generate the organizations (and membership) needed to overthrow capitalism and do socialism. Council communists think class consciousness will be produced by proletarian struggle, which will inevitably occur because capitalism sucks.
How similar is this to anarcho syndicalism?
