The work is structured around three chapters that present theoretical and conceptual reflections on the constitution of the wage society and the emergence of the Brazilian labor movement, analyzing the country's social, economic and political formation. Likewise, the text discusses the expression of anarchism in Brazil, demonstrating the confluence of its ideas in syndicalism organizing experiences. The research deals with the strategies and forms of struggle of the Brazilian Workers' Confederation, evaluating its experience as the first national union organization, indicating elements that characterize it as an expression of Revolutionary Intention Syndicalism.
