ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM form of anarchism that emerged in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century as a consequence of the industrial revolution. Popularized in South America after the arrival of emigrants to Argentina highlighting Ericco Malatesta and Pietro Gori. In Chile the first anarchist organizations were formed thanks to the Spanish emigrant Manuel Chinchilla. The acrats influenced among the working and artisan classes reaching a maximum influence in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Then the anarcho-syndicalists begin to lose ground to political parties such as the Radical Party (PR), the PS and the CP that begin to dominate the working world. In 1931 the Labor Law was enacted that legalized the unions and the labor dispute, which it regulated, giving a mortal blow to anarcho-syndicalism. They formed the National Confederation of Workers (CGT) but failed to defeat legalized syndicalism. In 1953 they formed the Single Confederation of Workers (CUT) but then disappeared. This story was given, in its own way, in all the countries of the West.
