Tyreseian syndicalism (Tyreseian: sindicalismu tirejanu) is a term for the state philosophy of the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia. Tyreseian syndicalism encompasses a constellation of political ideas, theories, and philosophies that underpin the vast majority of Tyreseian political life. Generally, as a syndicalist state, Tyreseia is categorized among the various nations of the global Left, and is frequently categorized as a form of socialism, though it differs significantly from related ideas such as Beranism, Wernerism-Ulwazism, and anarchism. Tyreseian syndicalism is considered part of the global philosophical movement known as participism.

Origin

The first proper syndicalist theorists drew heavily from Belisarian philosophers such as Paul Werner, as well as worldwide early experiments in participism. Hanno of Tyria, one of the foremost early syndicalist authors, is believed to have visited Norumbia during the early 19th century, as well as Talahara shortly after the conclusion of its civil war in the 1840s. Talahara's experiments with anarchism and council democracy greatly influenced the structure of Tyreseia's own syndicalist government after its establishment in 1883.

Notable theoretical influences on early Tyreseian syndicalism include Wernerism, mutualism, Mniohuti conclavism, humanism and guild socialism. Over time, as Tyreseian syndicalism evolved and reacted to the world, new influences were drawn upon as needed to suit contemporary problems. These include the theory of participatory economics, various forms of anarchism, and feminism, among others.

Fundamental shared tenets

Tyreseian syndicalism is best seen as a spectrum of ideas, according to modern interpretations such as those of Tsabratan University's Liverra Venanchu in her 2008 book A Window on Tyreseian Syndicalism (Tyreseian: Juna huinestra dul sindicalismu tirejanu). This spectrum constitutes the majority of prevalent ideas potentially acceptable to the mainstream. According to Venanchu, some of the tenets shared by ideas within the spectrum are thus:

  1. A truly equal, communal society is the highest form of human social organization;
  2. The preservation and improvement of human living conditions is the highest goal of societal progress;
  3. The preservation of liberty to speak, publish, protest, congregate and associate is fundamental to a functioning democracy;
  4. True democracy is both political and economic;
  5. Unions, controlled by their workers and organized by industry, form the best basic economic unit of society (and of politics, in many variations);
  6. A proletariat under capitalism or another system of wage labor and deprivation of capital, once sufficiently conscious and organized, will inevitably revolt;
  7. Human beings are inherently entitled to dignity in, and access to, all public spheres, including the workplace, arts, culture, intellectual pursuits, and politics;
  8. Political democracy without economic democratization is a tool for economic elites to maintain control;
  9. The government exists to protect the people and their welfare from foreign and domestic threats;
  10. The government exists at the whims of the people, with representatives bound to serve their constituents; and
  11. The government exists to facilitate projects that unions cannot do, such as state services, until such time as they are rendered obsolete (not followed by some mainstream schools of syndicalist thought, such as anarcho-syndicalists).

Hallmark manifestations of these shared values are seen in the fundamental makeup of the Tyreseian government, which adopts a nested-council structure with strong powers of recall, initiative, and ballot referenda endowed in constituents. As the guiding principles of a government style in place for over a century, these values have become embedded in the fabric of Tyreseian society. As such, it is debated whether some of Venanchu's identified shared tenets instead constitute Tyreseian cultural values.

Other applications

Tyreseian Basic Institution

The Tyreseian Basic Institution, or Instidudi Basigi Tirejani, is the current national constitution of Tyreseia and the Workers' Federation's founding document. Drafted by a committee of jurists, political theorists and members of the first Council of State, the Basic Institution is one of few syndicalist constitutions in the world.

Foreign relations

Fundamentally, Tyreseians generally see themselves (or their country) as part of an international struggle to achieve freedom through socialism. One of Tyreseia's most famous diplomatic doctrines is that of so-called "democratic diplomacy." A large number of diplomatic overtures initiated by Tyreseia's People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs are aimed at improving Tyreseia's relations and impression among foreign populations, not just their state governments. The aim of "democratic diplomacy" is to inspire pro-syndicalist or other left-wing sentiment in the world through demonstrations of Tyreseia's economic and political systems. This policy had led to Tyreseian foreign aid spending to be among the highest in Scipia as a proportion to overall budget, as well as the construction of supranational organizations to facilitate aid to struggling workers such as Global Observatory of Labor. In terms of state-to-state diplomacy, Tyreseia most frequently seeks relation-building with states that share its ideological values. The most concrete supranational legacies of this pursuit are the Kiso Pact and Rubric Coast Consortium, both of which Tyreseia was a founding member. Disagreements in the implementation of socialism may hamper relations, but may also be ignored in favor of cooperation on areas deemed critical (see Rubric involvement in the Third Uhlangan Civil War). Diplomacy with states holding opposed ideologies, while not prohibited outright in any sense, still typically incurs an inherent demerit to public relations for any Tyreseian government so engaged. Even arrangements with states considered "like-minded" are subject to scrutiny, such as the 2022 Gadir crisis, which saw the Council of State of Yoanna Wechsler largely recalled over perceived mishandling of an expansion of Air Base Gadir to accomodate Ostrozavan logistics aircraft destined for the Fahrani Civil War.

Variations, critique, and response

Feminist critique

1970 Reforms

In 1970, a series of reforms were enacted in response to widespread counter-establishment movements, led by youth subcultures known collectively as conrrajuvus. These reforms, known informally by many as sindicalismu cun juna facha umana ("Syndicalism with a human face"), sought to demilitarize Tyreseian daily life, as well as a diversification of industry to best match the changing needs of a late-20th-century Tyreseia.

Wernerist critique

The pseudo-market nature of Tyreseian syndicalist economics, which lacks the top-down central planning authority of more orthodox Wernerist models, is a frequent point of critique.

Wernerist thinkers of orthosocialist persuasion may also take issue with the lack of a vanguard party in syndicalism. Tyreseia in fact has no political parties at all per se; in its place exist more loose conglomerations of like-minded ideologues and political activists known as salons. Wernerist critique of the system frequently sees the lack of a socialist vanguard as holding back the mobilization of the proletariat, effectively handicapping Tyreseia's potential for supporting progress towards socialism (which many Wernerists believe Tyreseia has not yet fully achieved).
