    Syndicalism is using labor unions as a means of eventually gaining workers’ control over the economy and abolishing capitalism.

      That only introduces new problems. Your advocating essentially for socialism as a replacement for capitalism.

      …and socialism will never work without a central authority overseeing it.

      …so you’ll need a revolutionary war in order to wrestle control from the bourgeoisie…

      …which will lead to massive bloodshed and economic turmoil.

      I think a more realistic approach would be to instill socialist ideals on our current capitalist system, such as salary caps, wealth taxes, inheretence tax tiers, UBI, socialized safety nets, etc. Rather than trying to redo our entire economic and governmental system.
