In well-spoken and wieldy prose, the typesetting sets out the anarcho-syndicalist criticisms of political parties and trade unions, engages with other radical traditions such as anarchism, syndicalism and dissident Marxisms, explains what anarcho-syndicalism was in the twentieth century, and how it's relevant - indeed, vital - for workers today.

Dimensions: 210 x 148 x 8mm Reviews "Seriously, read this pamphlet. If you can, make other people read it and discuss it with you. The pamphlet provides an spanking-new overview of material relevant to radicals today and provides suggestions for remoter reading for people who want to follow any of the threads further. All the ideas covered come out of serious experiences of struggle and are worth engaging with in a sustained way." Nate Hawthorne "Okay, the typesetting is written by activists for activists or those who take an interest in where things are going and are seeking a progressive alternative. Having said that, it unmistakably sets out its stall as to what's needed to encourage the re-emergence of a revolutionary workers' movement at a time of worsening crisis. The eyeful of this typesetting is that by and large, it achieves this task using plain English, explaining all concepts and terms as it goes along. It does this considering it is not a work of intellectual grandstanding but one that has a practical goal." Thurrock Heckler "Fairly wide-stretching for a pamphlet, Fighting for ourselves includes a wholesale history of the workers movement, from the first proto-union groups started to the German councilists, to the CNT and FORA, to the historical IWW and ‘workers parties’. It identifies these groups and currents in relation to what they’ve learned from and how this is incorporated into their world view and action. We think the new pamphlet is very good."
