The hypothetical person has vanished to Tumbolia. I
tried to drag him out to respond, but he refused to
get involved, saying it was just an argument of
semantics. Something about "anarcho-syndicalism", (he
called it just "syndicalism") not being "anarchy" at
all, because there is a government.
I took it upon myself to look us "syndicalism" in a
dictionary.

It appears the imaginary person has a point. A
government by federation of labor unions is still a
government. (Sounds like a branch of communism to me.)
