Featured Article: Anarcho-syndicalism

Flag used by Anarcho-syndicalists
Anarcho-syndicalism is a branch of anarchism which focuses on the labor movement. Anarcho-syndicalists view labor unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the State with a new society democratically self-managed by workers. They seek to abolish the wage system, regarding it as "wage slavery," and state or private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions.

Map of the scene of operations of the French and Indian War
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was the North American chapter of the Seven Years' War. The name refers to the two main enemies of the British: The royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them. The conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. The victory would ultimately prove to be a Pyrrhic one for the British, as the debt it incurred winning the war would lead directly to a series of taxation fights with the colonists that would spark the War of Independence.
