On #ThisDayInHistory in 1928, celebrated activist, #linguist, and commentator #NoamChomsky was born. The #AnarchoSyndicalist writer has produced a vast body of work in multiple fields. Revelations about his personal ties to #JeffreyEpstein are now raising uncomfortable questions.

On #ThisDayInHistory, #CNT, an #AnarchoSyndicalist #union, was founded in Barcelona, #Catalonia. Its opposition to #WageSlavery and #capitalism has survived over a century, including repression under Franco's #ParaFascist dictatorship. Through #ICL it is a sister-union to #IWW.

#Anarchist and #anarchosyndicalist organizations employ federated decision-making that prioritizes grassroots participation, direct democracy, and collective action. This guide explains how decisions flow through local assemblies, regional meetings, and international congresses.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1958, the #anarchosyndicalist activist and writer #RudolfRocker died. From time in London with #Yiddish #anarchist newspaper Arbeter Fraint to agitation against Nazism in Germany to his last decades in the US, he never wavered in commitment to the future.
