It's only recently I realised syndicalism wasn't something Ed Thomas made up for Fight And Be Right.
It was big in France, particularly before the First World War so it kinda makes sense that in a world where the revolution fails in Russia but succeeds in France that it would get exported worldwide, or at least its nomenclature. Trade Unionism in Britain developed differently to the extent it would struggle to fit but FaBR's Tory democracy changes all that.
