===[[File:Impossible.png]] [[Impossibilism]]===

De Leonists take an impossibilist stance on the reform or revolution question, which holds that reform under capitalism strengthens the bourgeoisie and secures their power while weakening socialist movements. Consequently, De Leonism is opposed to any form of reformism. However, De Leonists in the past did opt to run in presidential elections in the United States, but only as a means of gauging the level of mass support they had.

===[[File:Socialist Industrial Unionism.png]] Socialist Industrial Unionism===

De Leonists advocate for an “industrial commonwealth” revolving directly on industry, formulated around socialist industrial unionism. This socialist industrial unionism should not be confused with the industrial unionism of the IWW, which is of a syndicalist and libertarian socialist character. In contrast, socialist industrial unionism is a distinct form of organization from syndicalism. Socialist industrial unionism would operate on a model where workers elect a workplace industrial shop organization, which then elects industrial unions, which in turn elect representatives to regional associations of unions. These industrial unions are responsible for coordinating all industries and determining resource allocation.
