Workers, Wages and Wall Street, a collection of editorials by Daniel De Leon.
Below is a link to a small collection of editorials written by my favorite Syndicalist Author, Daniel De Leon. The reason I post this is that it bears some rather striking resemblance to our own economic and political situation.

Just for some context Daniel De Leon was a, at the time, rather well known proponent of Socialism despite his philosophy later becoming classified as a Syndicalist philosophy. He was also one of the rising labor movements best Rhetoricians. If I remember correct I believe he was also a contemporary of Eugene Debs.
Daniel De Leon advocated that American Workers should Unionize on mass as part of one big union and than use their numbers to elect a majority of representatives from the Union. Than with that Majority begin seizing the means of production and dismantling Capitalism.
Now before anyone throws out the old cliché of "but but...Soviet Union" Lets make something clear. De Leon was not advocating anything like what would become the Soviet Union. Also, De Leonism as a school of Socialist and Syndicalist Thought shares little in common with the ideas of Lenin. In fact De Leonism is an American school of Syndicalist Thought that predates Leninism. So please save the BS about it not working because of how the Soviet Union eventually collapsed.
Enjoy the read.
EDIT: For those curious about what sort of Socialist Structure he did advocate read this http://www.slp.org/pdf/de_leon/ddlother/fif_ques.pdf
