AtDTDA (4) 111 Anarcho-syndicalists; SPOILER QUESTION

[Mark Kohut]

Does anyone think that the Chums, becoming "freelancers", their own (limited) masters near
  the end reflects any anarcho-syndicalist notions of "self-management"?

I think that the industrialization and the advance of technology 
raise possibilities for self-management over a broad scale that 
simply didn't exist in an earlier period. And that in fact this is 
precisely the rational mode for an advanced and complex 
industrial society, one in which workers can very well become 
masters of their own immediate affairs, that is, in direction and 
control of the shop, but also can be in a position to make the 
major, substantive decisions concerning the structure of the 
economy , concerning social institutions, concerning planning, 
regionally and beyond.
