Anarcho-syndicalism, with a healthy dose of pacifism. I hold no illusions though, the final general strike that will liberate us from capitalism will be violent, and we'll need to fight back. I'll find a role in the strike that doesn't directly require violence.
Will be violent against whom, exactly? I'm afraid the violence you refer to will inevitably be between members of the same (oppressed) class. Those on top will do all thay can to protect their privilege, but they won't do it themselves. They will push others to do it. I'm not making a counterargument, just pointing out an observation that troubles me
The violence will primarily come from the ruling class against the strikers. Further violence will ensue by the strikers in retaliation. I cannot predict what the dynamics of this will look like, but I imagine that it would primarily class traitors fighting on behalf of the ruling class. Infighting with the strikers will have to be suppressed through education in the prelude to the strike
