Collectivist anarchism

Collectivist anarchism,^[1] also called anarchist collectivism^[2] and anarcho-collectivism,^[3] is an anarchist school of thought that envisions both the collective ownership of the means of production, and the entitlement of workers to the fruits of their own labour,^[4] which would be ensured by a societal pact between individuals and collectives.^[5] Collectivists considered trade unions to be the means through which to bring about collectivism through a social revolution, where they would form the nucleus for a post-capitalist society.^[6]

The tendency was initially conceived as a synthesis of social equality and liberty, by the Russian revolutionary socialist Mikhail Bakunin.^[7] It is commonly associated with the anti-authoritarian sections of the International Workingmen's Association and the early Spanish anarchist movement, with whom it continued to hold a strong influence until the end of the 19th century. Eventually, it was supplanted as the dominant tendency of anarchism by anarcho-communism, which advocated for the abolition of wages and the distribution of resources "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs".
