Full Idea
The main argument against anarcho-syndicalism, and against syndicalism in general, is that it overemphasises the importance of work and the function of the working class.

A Reaction
Walter says anarchists are not attracted to the marxist view of society in terms of classes. If it is a matter of classes, then I (along with Aristotle) will champion the middle classes, who always get a bad press. Modern classes are too fluid.
