Rudolf Rocker author of Anarcho-Syndicalism
Theory and Practice writes about his contentions with the democratic centralist structures of the USSR while critiquing as well the capitalist institutions of social democracy. Pushing for his vision of Anarcho-Syndicalism as an alternative to what he views and authoritarianism that mirrors the previous capitalist system. This short read is a good look into the divisions and differing opinion between Marxist Leninists and anarchist socialists.
