http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicalism
Syndicalism is a type of economic system proposed as a replacement for capitalism and an alternative to state socialism, which uses federations of collectivised trade unions or industrial unions. It is a form of socialist economic corporatism that advocates interest aggregation of multiple non-competitive categorised units to negotiate and manage an economy.[1]
For adherents, labor unions are the potential means of both overcoming economic aristocracy and running society fairly in the interest of the majority, through union democracy. Industry in a syndicalist system would be run through co-operative confederations and mutual aid. Local syndicates would communicate with other syndicates through the Bourse du Travail (labor exchange) which would manage and transfer commodities.
Syndicalism is also used to refer to the tactic of bringing about this social arrangement, typically expounded by anarcho-syndicalism and De Leonism, in which a general strike begins and workers seize their means of production and organise in a federation of trade unionism, such as the CNT[2] Throughout its history, the reformist section of syndicalism has been overshadowed by its revolutionary section, typified by the IWW or the Federación Anarquista Ibérica section of the CNT.[3]
In otherwords, to simplify Syndicalism in one word - Its a "co-op".

Well, I wanted to answer your questions, but some of them I could not answer. You may ask "why cant you answer some of them?". If you do, then I figured you would have already assumed that I was advocating at least a limited government.
This is an anarcho system I am describing. This is a Co-op I am describing. If people are not willing to participate freely for a project then perhaps it is not worth doing.
In America Anarcho-capitalists are called "Libertarians" while "Anarcho-socialists" (syndicalists) are commonly refered to as "Anarchists". Left Libertarians have a long history of being demonized, as whenever anything close to a mob forms on the street they are called "anarchists" even though the mass majority of them may be Democrats or Republicans or most are social miscreants.

So now we are at a disadvantage. not only do we see differently on the issue of money, but we also have differences on what we both consider to be efficient. You may consider quick and decent as "efficient". I consider (usually) steady and precise to be efficient.
Maybe if you were more efficient in your questions, then I could answer them efficiently.
