@DJM Syndicalism was originally the main revolutionary strategy of anti-State Socialists namely the Anarchists. It's not so much a rival strain of thought to Marxism but a strategy of workers self emancipation via the use of revolutionary unions. Anarchism, Council Communism being the main rival to Marxism at the time, see the whole Marx vs Bakunin thing and the IWA split between the Anarchists and Marxists.

[@lewiskafe4940]

I think it is a debatable whether this clip is based on any of the UoB routes: -Public and televised interviews are conducted with autonomist members (+1 to autonomist route). -Anniversaries of patriotic-socialist events are celebrated (+1 to maximalist route). -Public works of energy sources are promoted (I don't remember which route is more prone to collective industrialization). -Collective propaganda is emphasized (with phrases like "we will keep the red flag flying here"). I would say that probably, because of the slight emphasis on giving voice to a little bit of everything, but still maintaining some focus on a certain collectivist narrative, it is the restorationist route (the coup route against Mosley and the maximists).
