Anarcho-Syndicalism 

Anarcho-syndicalism, also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism, is a theory of anarchism that views revolutionary industrial unionism or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain control of an economy and thus control influence in broader society.
Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative economic system with democratic values and production centered on meeting human needs.
worker A: I believe in equal labor, we don't need greddy boss, we're tired of resisting wage slavery in the capitalist society. We want to be free! Liberation of the working class.
worker B: I agree! Long Live Anarcho-Syndicalism

anarcho-syndicalism 

A type of anarchism which maintains that an anarchist society can come about through action by workers organised in unions - typically grassroots unions with direct democracy or without officials. Workers' organisation is to culminate in a general strike which overcomes capitalism, as well as generating day-to-day resistance which weakens capitalist control.
The IWW and IWA have always been the main anarcho-syndicalist groups.

The IWW, or Wobblies, believed in the formation of one big union involving all workers, as a prelude to a general strike. They still exist, but were most successful in pre-WW2 America, when they successfully organised many workers.

The IWA is an international federation of groups of anarcho-syndicalists in various countries. Unlike the IWW, it organises as a federation of individuals and not as a union divided up into industries and occupations.

The Spanish union, CGT, is federated to the IWA and is the largest syndicalist group anywhere today. It was even bigger in the 30s, when it was one of the main organisers of the resistance to Franco's attempt to seize power. It provoked controversy, however, by entering government, in breach of anarchist principles.

Though anarcho-syndicalism is funny in the movie, only true idiots would be proponents of such a dumb system

Anarcho-Syndicalism 

Anarcho-Syndicalism cannot work because people are idiots. History has proven fascism, unecessary large scale wars, greed for more land, and idiocy ultimately dominates any attempt at reform for this.

anarcho-syndicalism 

A democratic system where people vote on how resources are used. There are no property rights, and attempting to hold property or own it is severely punished by the ruling committee elected by the populus

. Anarcho-syndicalists often pretend to represent individualism, but it is clear the property rights are essential to be tolerated and independent of your community. Because of this, anarcho-syndicalism is indistinguishable from anarcho-communism.

Anarcho-syndicalists intend to accomplish their goals by using force and coercion using a state structure to conquer what they consider to be "private tyrannies." After accomplishing democratic socialism, these anarcho-syndicalists expect the state to somehow dissolve and for anarcho-syndicalism to form.

Anarcho-syndicalism relies on committees that work with workers to produce goods. No currency is used, and so there is no way to accurately measure value or support a supply and demand system to support a materialistic culture. These committees act like a government, where they administer justice and enforce laws.

Anarcho-syndicalists claim that the use of coercion through their committee structure, their establishment of temporary leaders through democracy, and non-tolerance of capitalist internal systems is somehow anarchy.
Regular Person: anarcho-syndicalism is truly statism.
Political Person: No. Go get educated and stop your straw man attacks. Anarcho-syndicalism is true freedom of the collective people form the tyranny of individual property rights and capitalism.
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
