I'm modestly familiar with the works of Marx, but I don't know what "syndicalism" is. And I don't know what proposal you're making, or alluding to, with this:

Just look at Africa and how we're trying to drown it in money instead of coming over there en masse and applying real help, manually.

Sounds ominous!
