theory
De Leon combined the rising theory of syndicalism of his time with orthodox Marxism . According to De Leonist theory, radical industrial unions (specialized unions ) are the vehicles of the class struggle . Trade unions serving the interests of the proletariat should create the conditions for the establishment of a socialist society. The difference to anarcho-syndicalism is that, according to De Leonism, a revolutionary party is necessary and that under socialism there will be a government.
