The Italian term sindacalismo conflates syndicalism and trade-unionism, shaping Gramsci’s category.

Evidence

By “theoretical syndicalism”, Gramsci means what is in English known simply as “syndicalism”-the Italian word “sindacalismo ” means both “syndicalism” and “trade-unionism”. There was a strong syndicalist tradition in the Italian working-class, notably among the anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists. Anarchist workers played a leading part in many of the great industrial struggles of the war and immediate post-war years, especially in Turin, where Gramsci during the Ordine Nuovo period repeatedly attacked the sectarianism of many socialists towards them. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2157
